+Hey, I'm finally attending an Embedded Systems class in uni. 
+The problem is that my teacher decided to use the 8051 as his platform of choice (the other teachers used PIC/AVR, so I even bought some in anticipation) and his classes are pretty shitty with 2 big projects as evaluations, so I'll have to learn ASM by myself and I wanted to get a dev board to try stuff out in the flesh.
+In my country, 8051s are already rare, and shipping from Digikey/Mouser/whatever costs an arm and a leg (on top of paying in dollars), so I don't know if those Silicon Labs kits are an option (I saw someone in the archive mentioning the C8051F850 USB ToolStick kit as a cheap kit, but it seems to be discontinued). Most 8051s avaliable here are the old Atmel parts and some random ancient Intel/Philips ones.
+
+So, apparently, I have 2 options:
+>use an AT89S51/52 on a breadboard and program it with an USBASP/Arduino programmer
+>order one of those chink STC 8051 kits
+Having to use headers and removing/putting the chip back is a massive pain in the ass, though, so I was wondering if there was a way to combine the USBASP circuit with a normal devboard circuit to create something more practical to use (like an Arduino/STM32 Nucleo with its programmer section).
+And on the STCs, are their toolchains decent? It seems like people have taken a liking to them and built some cool stuff recently, but there are so many part numbers that I don't know what should I order for maximum compatibility with my course, since some STCs seem to have some odd modified 8051 architecture.
+Thoughts?
+--- 2600745
+>>2600736
+For MCU selection, it doesn't look straightforward at all to use a USBasp to program an AT89S51. Looks like the cheapest solution is to flash an arduino with some dude's code to be a programmer, plus software other than AVRdude. It would be more reliable to buy a dedicated Microchip brand programmer and use MPLABX or whatever, but I can imagine not wanting to pay for such a programmer. No clue about the chinese clones. Plenty of other people made 8051-based chips so you might find a nice dev-board with integrated programmer by someone like Cypress or TI.

+Breadboarding a PIC10 already seems like hell, I can barely imagine using one that requires an external oscillator. 
+I think I'll just make a cheap "devboard" with perfboard for it with header pins.

+>>2600745
+Yeah, the integrated ISP would be more of a future project. I already have an Arduino, so I might use that.
+
+>If your prof or previous students recommend a certain method then I'd lean towards doing that
+The guy's a substitute and it's only his second semester teaching this class, so there's nothing established (apparently he himself mostly programs PIC but for some reason decided to use 8051, lmao).
+I think no one bought a devboard for that class, because everyone just did the final projects in Proteus. I'd get the physical micro to learn more, basically.
+--- 2600773
+>>2600762
+Breadboarding a raw MCU is generally not a good idea anyhow. Put it on a PCB with two rows of pins like an arduino nano, plus a reset button and any crystals/caps/etc. it needs. And always put an ICSP header on the board. Takes the guesswork out of programming it. If you make one out of perfboard, I'd advise something like vero-board that already has some connections on it, that way you don't have to blob solder from IC to pin.

+Your options are gonna suck. Clear PLA is usually just natural PLA, which is a hazy off-white that's *nearly* transparent.
+If you use the cleanest and clearest looking "clear" PLA you can find, and you get the temperatures and flow rates just perfect, it'll be a hazy off-white that's *nearly* transparent.
+
+ABS is a little different, there is truly clear ABS out there, but it's a rarity in filament. Finding unpigmented "natural" ABS filament isn't too hard, but like the "natural" PLA it's not transparent, in fact it's usually got less clarity than the PLA.
+Matterhackers used to carry their "Transparent Premium ABS Filament", and that shit was incredibly clear, and it could be smoothed with acetone. Awesome stuff, if overpriced at $100/kg. I haven't seen it available in a very long time now.
+
+The best option I know you can just go grab right now would be Fiberlogy's Easy ABS line, it's a small lineup of transparent ABS filaments, including a truly clear "Clear" option. It's not a bad price either, but hard to find outside of Europe, easiest to just order it from a European supplier.

+The 110v ones function but are a struggle and limited with the stick selection. You have to really fine tune it and have to use thin shitty and expensive electrodes.
+
+The cheap amazon 220v machines work a million times better than the 110v ones.
+Better yet, if you need 110v and plan on doing thinner material, spend the $200 and buy the Harbor Freight Titanium Easy-Flux 125
+
+It'll be far more usable and far easier to learn. 
+It's money well spent right off the bat of you are just making small projects.
+
+I learned to weld at school on millers, have the easy flux, have the 220v titanium Stick welder and can pretty much do any project I need small to relatively large.
+I have used a 220v hitbox (cheap amazon special) and it worked quite well. I also on a whim bought a 110v 80a Stick welder and it just wasn't worth the hassle.

The box can be subdivided into areas denoting key sections like a CAN bus or dotted lines denoting electrical isolation. While it is possible to make these as custom symbols in KiCAD, it's a tedious process that requires you go into a seperate window whenever you want to make even a minor edit to the symbol.

+Is it just a simple on-off load? Or do you need to invert direction? Inverting direction is what an H bridge is for, otherwise you only need a single low-side MOSFET.

+Or use a dedicated IC like an IR2148.
+
+Whether you actually need a high-speed gate driver is a function of your switching losses, and how significant they are.

+They're replacing the mansion with a modern one to live in and display their wealth. Typical buyers at the highest end are celebs and businessmen. The Hamptons for example aren't a place people buy to flip but buy to display elite levels of wealth. (That area mostly works on Wall Street.) They've no need to hide wealth and excess to burn.

+Teardowns are also common in upper class and upper middle class areas because old houses merely look pretty and aren't worth fixing to live in unless they hardly deteriorated in the first place (like choice Victorians in always wealthy northeast and CA hoods). Nothing of value is lost and the whiners are free to buy and preserve.

Wall plug efficiency of microwaves is about 50% which is frankly better than I expected.
