bbMonitor Cyber Retro Style DIY Computer Performance Monitor

Overview

What if we combined the performance monitor in a computer's Task Manager with an old-fashioned analog gauge in real life? That's what we're making today—bbMonitor. Imagine your computer is busy, and the pointer jumps around on the dashboard like a lively little animal; when it's running smoothly, the pointer dances lightly. This wonderful interaction allows you to intuitively feel what your computer is doing. The principle behind it isn't complicated. We need to run software on the computer to send data to a microcontroller, the microcontroller outputs a voltage proportional to the signal, replace the dial with the actual display, add some RGB effects, and voila!

The new addresses are the same twice, surprise!
I wrote a code today and ran it on the WinCE simulator to define two float pointer variables. After newing them, I found that the addresses of the two pointers were the same. This is very strange. I w

1. Power saving (since the liquid crystal itself does not emit light, the power consumption is low) 2. It can only be driven by low-frequency AC voltage, and DC will damage the liquid crystal 3. Types
What devices are generally used to control AC motors?
I want to control a 380V three-phase AC asynchronous motor. Currently, the options are AC contactors and solid-state relays. However, both are large in size. The system requires 380V AC and power with

I soldered two boards in total. When I used the simulator to do the target congfiruration test on one board, it showed success (at the bottom of the report result); the other board always showed failu
About the identification and classification of car unlocking and locking signal lines
I would like to ask all the experts, can you tell me how to find the signal line for unlocking and locking the car, and how to distinguish the types of signal triggers in a simple, convenient and fast
