The Seeed Forum is Awesome

After visiting a few other Forums lately and being completely trolled into oblivion i am more apreciative of our great little community here! Thanks and Keep it up…

I agree. I would not say anything about the other forums but here, it feels like people are willing to understand your issues even though you are not good in explaning. this was my case.

yes you are very correct… and it is hard some times, not only because of language, but because what is obvious to one is not obvious to others, and confirmation bias and also so many things can go wrong

I spent a few hours yesterday reading posts before joining. I just discovered the seeed xiao boards a few months ago. I am currently getting ready to test 4 new dev boards with the Xiao RA4M1 as the microprocessor so I’m kind of excited. (waiting on USPS to show up) 1 is a 2-layer board that just reads I2C from a modified IMU and sends 5 channels out CAN bus at 100Hz. Two of the boards are 4-layer boards that are doing some analog reads, processing and then sending them out CAN bus. The last one is a 4 layer board that reads I2C from a modified IMU and sends 2 channels of 0-5v analog data using a MCP4728 with a 1:1 op amp as a line driver. I am especially excited about the analog reads on my 4-layer boards. I was not happy about noisy ADCs on the RA4M1, so I’m trying to make it more Teensy-like by adding a 120 ohm ferrite bead protecting VCC like the Teensy, and the exact decoupling filter that Teensy has protecting VCC and AVCC. I couldn’t do everything (internal to the RA4M1), but I did what I could. (i read about the 0ohm to Xohm resistor change in the forums here too). If anyone is interested in updates, I can give some RA4M1 on a breadboard vs. RA4M1 on a 4-layer PCB with Teensy protection comparison.
