It looks fancy. What is it?
Does it vibrate?
It looks like it blinks. Does it blink? If it doesn't blink, then what's the point?
It's a USB DAQ device with 4 dedicated high-voltage analogue inputs, 12 flexible I/O, and 4 dedicated digital I/O. The flexible I/O can be configured as either digital or analogue, thus providing up to 16 analogue inputs, or up to 16 digital I/O. It also has two 10-bit analogue outputs, up to 2 counters, and up to 2 timers.
Nice!
Yes it blinks when you connect it at the computer and stop blinking when the link is made :D
it is an interface to manage sensors, motors, actuators, etc.
At the difference of the arduino, it comes with library dedicated to several languages : VB.net, C#, C++, matlab, labview, VBA, etc...
and can piloted without embedded program. I am a fan of the arduino but I have to write the program in C++ and flash it in it and write the interface/pilot program in VB. With that, I'll need just one program in VB.
Oh...well then, that is reasonable. Blinking after that would just be gauche.Quote:

It's a little rough because she lost her parrain a few years back and now she's going to lose her nanny. It's not very often that the godchild will bury both of their godparents.
Those are relationships I'm not familiar with. Why is it not common? Shouldn't the younger generation be burying the older generation?
I'm biking back roads from roughly Boise to Anacortes WA. Stopped to rest in the shade of some trees at a school, and found that they had open wifi. This town has nothing in it but the school, a few houses....and an open wifi connection. On the other hand, the ride today was brutal, thus far, and I'd still like to get another 15 miles, though it is gaining 2000 feet, and the temperature isn't so cool. I'm crossing the desert, at the moment. I get up into forests tomorrow, I hope, and might reach 7000 feet on Wednesday, which is good, because record high temperatures are forecast. The lack of water and lack of shade makes the desert particularly tough going. I think I'll proceed another mile, or so, cook supper, then continue on in the somewhat cool of the evening.
It’s more so to do with their age. Her parrain was 45 and her nanny is 51. You expect to eventually bury your elders, but in 2021, 45 and 51 and not considered “elder” in the US.
What makes this increasingly difficult is that, if it were not for COVID, would the cancer have been caught before stage 3? Or at least before it metastasized? I don’t know, nor will I ever know.
Yep, In France, we had a lot of people who died because of the COVID but not of the COVID: Their case was not considered as urgent or the medical service were closed because the people were reassigned to the covid treatment, etc... My doctor told me that the gastroenterology field was the most impacted because some of the drugs they used is also used to treat the COVID and every stock was reoriented toward covid patient to the detriment of other people...Quote:

Probably not, unfortunately. Some types of cancers are obvious, some are routinely screened for, but others....you tend to find out at a later stage. You also don't get screened for all that much at such a young age. I knew a gal who died of breast cancer in her early 20s. At that age, the incidence is so low that screening doesn't happen.Quote:

without a seat, you have now a trial bike ;)

That certainly would be a trial.
That looks so painful. I feel my quads on fire just looking at it.
beside programming, I am also doing miniatures.
I found that on an other forum :

By the way, the first computer I ever touch (to program some very basic ascii characters game ) was that (was my father's one)
Attachment 181678
then my first own computer was that and I still have it ;):
