My attempt at making a really minimal switching LED driver (as lean as possible without "abusing" components), for a flashlight or something. I had a lot of fun optimizing it without abusing strange nonlinear effects in components - I would guess the minimum parts you'd need are a choke, (obviously) an LED, sense resistor, flyback diode and 2 transistors (minimum required to create hysteresis). If you were going to use it with 12 volts of Vdd, the component values would be about 470 uH, 10 ohm shunt, 1k pull up resistor, 10k pot, and a feedback resistor in the tens of kohm, this should yield an LED current of a couple hundred milliamps. Let me know if you can remove any more components, or if you find it useful somewhere! submitted by /u/DmitryE [link] [comments]

This is a laser I’ve made for milled blank double sided boards with mounting holes for alignment. Previously it’s worked for single sided pcb & now I’ve ben working on making a easy system for double sided & still working on a different homing system for easier flipping of the board. The etching fluid I use hydrogen peroxide with hcl. Main board ESP32, gcode sender I use is laser GRBL , where I just insert a screenshot of my traces and resize based on the dimensions of the blank. It’s generally very easy the most challenging part is still aligning, each board takes about 1hr from blank to etched with no drilling & 80% of time is on waiting. Project files: https://grabcad.com/library/pcb-laser-v2-1 I’d appreciate a like if anyone uses GrabCAD, it helps my career :) , any feedback or ideas here are also very appreciated! Still working on V3 with its own firmware for aligning and faster motion, I will likely be done with that in a few months if anyone is interested! I’ll make a update. If anyone decides to make this machine buy a cover for fumes and light protection! submitted by /u/Mediocre-Advisor-728 [link] [comments]

Asymmetric network technologies such as ASA are becoming more important for transporting the increasing volume of sensor data in vehicles. At the same time, interoperability is harder to secure in a growing multi-vendor ecosystem. Rohde & Schwarz addresses this with a new ASA Motion Link compliance solution for the R&S RTP oscilloscope that focuses on standards-compliant testing, enables efficient device debugging, and ensures compatibility and seamless automotive communication.

The Automotive SerDes Alliance (ASA) was formed in 2019 with the ambition of providing an open standard for a multi-vendor ecosystem for high-speed asymmetric SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) technology. It is perfectly optimal to carry data from high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, or radar sensors to the ECU or provide continuous data streams from the ECU to ultra-wide, high-definition displays, all the while ensuring that high-speed data transfers do not interfere with other sensitive vehicle electronics. With bandwidth capabilities scaling up to 16 Gbps per lane, it provides the scalable “nervous system” required for level 3 autonomous driving and beyond.

Rohde & Schwarz has been a long-standing member of the Alliance, contributing to the various technical committees to help further the open standard. The new R&S SPLUS-K105 option available on the R&S ScopeSuite+ software offers comprehensive electrical compliance testing for the latest ASA Motion Link standard. The software fully controls and automates the R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscope, allowing test engineers to seek guidance effortlessly through each test case via the step-by-step wizard and the web-based GUI. All relevant test cases for each speed grade (SG1 to SG5) are getting support from the software. In addition, users can also control the R&SZNB3000 and other supported VNAs for performing accurate return loss measurements.

The combination of oscilloscope, VNA, and compliance software provides capabilities for signal integrity analysis. The time domain impedance analysis in repeatable measurements is essential for verifying PHYs, ECUs, cables, and connectors, fostering reliable Automotive communication.

Got around to making an enclosure for this little guy. It's was done a lot more strategically than the first one I made. I went with colorful popsicle sticks this time around. I had the forethought to have the audio sockets stick out from the pcb just enough that when I made the enclosure, they'd go through a side and be flush with the surface so connecting a cable is simple. I tried to photograph as much of the process as I could remember haha Someone asked for a schematic in the previous post. It's seems simple enough, but I'll see if I get around to making one in a follow up if you're interested in making a passive mixer of your own. Be warned that making it like this in this particular form factor had it's frustrations if you're not experienced with tinkering. It took a lot of patience. I've got some additional cleaning up to do for the edges, but it turned out nice enough I think. submitted by /u/Edboy796 [link] [comments]

$2.59 Trillion in AI Spending Excels by Vendors and Hyperscalers, with Enterprises Yet to Flex Spending Potential.

Worldwide spending on AI is forecast to total $2.59 trillion in 2026, a 47% increase year-over-year, according to Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company.

“Through the next several years, the need for capacity will make AI infrastructure, including AI-optimized IaaS, AI-optimized servers, AI network fabric, AI processing semiconductors and devices, the largest segment of the market, accounting for over 45% of spending, which will be driven by vendors,” said John-David Lovelock, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. “Within this segment, spending on AI-optimized servers will triple over the next five years to become the largest subsegment, as cloud services providers expand capacity in anticipation of the workloads created by GenAI models and agentic workflows.”

Enterprises are expanding their use of both GenAI models with built-in existing software applications and the latest AI agents within multiple workflows. Model consumption increases through multistep processes and integration into broad suites of tools as enterprises recognize the potential value of agentic automation. This dynamic means that the short-term outlook for AI models would increase to 110% growth in 2026, adding $6 billion in spending this year.

Worldwide AI Spending by Market, 2025-2027 (Millions of U.S. Dollars)

Market	2025	2026	2027
AI Services	436,351	585,527	759,418
AI Cybersecurity	25,920	51,347	85,997
AI Software	282,897	453,209	638,431

“Up to this point, AI spending has primarily been driven by technology companies and hyperscalers,” said Lovelock. Enterprises have yet to really flex their spending potential. That is coming, and 2026 will be the inflection year. Currently, organizations show limited appetite for using AI to drive disruptive enterprise change. Instead, they favor tactical AI initiatives with incremental improvements in efficiency and productivity.

“For this reason, CIOs face challenges in proving the value from AI investments and demonstrate tangible business outcomes,” said Lovelock. “Aligning AI initiatives with strategic business objectives is the essential step for success. This incremental approach persists despite AI hype and valuations that reflect aspirations to transform the broader economy.”
