May I ask, in case you use Wifi: Which Wifi module do you use for the Compute Module?

Because I agree it is a very useful form factor.


There's a Revolution Pi product coming this year which has WiFi built in (called "Connect Flat", was on display at the SPS fair in November 2019).

We used a chip based on Cypress CYW43455, basically the same as on the Raspberry Pi 3B+, to benefit from the existing decent driver support.


I see, thats smart.

My question would be how would I start out doing something similar? Because the I was thinking I would just have a look at the rasperry pi 3 b+ schematics (which do not show the Wifi Module, because they are incomplete, so I guess SDIO or UART?). Compare it to the schematics of the compute module, design a board thats connectso the Cypress Wifi Module and use the same drivers used in the rasperry pi 3 b+.


I designed in a WG7831-DELFA WiFi/Bluetooth module, based on TI Wilink8, connected via SDIO.

I like using syncthing to sync to file to another (sometimes multiple) location and the use restic (https://restic.net/ :)


I tried synching but it didn't seem very reliable, I had to restart it regularly to keep things in sync. In the end I gave up and moved back to DropBox.


I have troubles accessing the full article.



Thank you. The Scihub telegram bot told me he doesn't have it in its database yet, so it's seems to lag behind.

Hey I just signed up, it looks pretty cool. I still remember struggling with spice at school (almost 10 years ago) – I think this makes easier access to electronic simultion :)


Wow that's very interesting. What do they do with 1) and 2)? Just accept it or kill it another way?

Why is 3) so resistant against radiation? Does it repair DNA damage faster than it occurs?

Do you mind me asking if you're working in industry or are in academia/research? :)


Kill it some other way, and frequently test things that should be 'sterile'.

I don't actually study (3) particularly, nor am I a biologist. As far as I understand, the "how" question is pretty well studied, and is because it's pretty aggressive with DNA repair, and has lots of various tricks to facilitate that and minimize damage from occurring in the first place. The question of "why" is (in my mind) more interesting, and less understood - it may be due to evolving to deal with prolonged dehydration, which is a much more useful ability for life on earth. IDK.

R&D at a startup.


Thanks for the reply – I actually thought there was some stuff no bacteria could live in and that probably exists, but then you also get problems with the things you are trying to desinfect.


Wow. Thank you. I think it is very beautifully made.

I recently started blogging, so I am very happy to come across this :)


Perfect timing, I guess :) Good to have you on board, Dominik!

P.S Your platform fee is waived. Happy to be your first supporter :)


Stripe/Credit Card (2.9% +.30) fees still apply - right?


Thank you! :)


That was very well explained. Would it be possible to include this into GIMP?


since the technique is so simple, it's probably not hard at all to include into GIMP. Wouldn't surprise me if someone had already implemented a plugin for it.


Indeed, this has been implemented in G'MIC [1], which can be used as a plugin in gimp. I definitively recommend it! (based on the exact same paper :-)

And here I set in front of 1680x1050 with an ATI Radeon HD 5770 playing Rocket League on Minecraft like graphics so the the splitscreen with a friend does not stutter noticeably. :D


Interesting - can I ask you how what you do with the images of your pads? Do you just keep it in folders or do you insert them in to some note taking program?


I just keep them all in Dropbox folders by Year/Month/Day so 2016/04/10
