Hi! Quick question to Ellied: I have a 5v regulated power supply and a device that is only 3v or so tolerant (nRF24L01+ radio). Is it fine to drop the 5v with diodes? Will the supply be stable enough?
<bofh>
Oh, as in the power rail? Yeah that's perfectly fine (particularly if it's a low-current device). I'd use a 3.3V Zener instead of a ton of 1N4184s personally, but either'll work.

I don't have specific parts to choose from, more like a box with old used perfboards from which I can scavenge components. I'd just find one or two that drop about 2 v in total, and no idea what sort of diodes that will be.
<bofh>
also I think a Gudermannian would be a wpn, not an adjective.
<bofh>
APlayer: an Si diode drops about 0.6V b/c 0.3V is approximately the standard doped Si bandgap and it's a PN junction.
<bofh>
APlayer: an alternative is a red LED, those usually drop 1.85V

The light would be unwanted and distracting, I fear.

bofh: convert (h c (Planck constant-speed of light product))/(660 nm (nanometers)) to electronvolts: 1.878548 eV (electronvolts)
<bofh>
Yeah, 1.85 - 1.9V.
<APlayer>
bofh: So you say the diode will not distort the voltage with varying load? I may just add it in series with the device and attach it to the 5v power rail? I need to be sure, because the radios don't like fluctuations in the supply voltage

<bofh>
A diode's voltage drop is a function of its bandgap width, which does not change after manufacture.

dips the diode in liquid nitrogen.

Alright, that's good to know. Thank you very much! :-)

<APlayer>
Now on to find appropriate diodes.
<bofh>
over a 60degC temperature range it's *approximately* constant :P
<APlayer>
Preferably neither light emitting nor light consuming.
<bofh>
a photodiode won't work, I'm fairly certain.
<UmbralRaptop>
More seriously, can this be a problem outside? (250-315 K may be possible)
<UmbralRaptop>
Okay, 60 ˚C should cover it.
<bofh>
Like there will be some fluctuation but it'll be over the range of tens of mV
<bofh>
like green->yellow is only about 0.22eV difference (and that's using 532nm & 587nm, the former which is I think bluer than that video and the latter redder)
<kmath>
<worddroppings> Poor boy has to use books for pillows. Because… https://t.co/Zu0QeG30Rv
<SnoopJeDi>
UmbralRaptor, yea so for example when using the `re` module, you often write something like `m = re.match(...); if m: # do match case else: # no match` and that first line is just a little bit of a bother since you might be tempted to write `if re.match(...):` in the conditional itself
<SnoopJeDi>
but if you do so, there's no reference to the object so you'd have to call it again. the assignment expr cuts the difference in half, you'd write `if m := re.match(...): # match logic else: # no-match`
<egg|z|egg>
bofh: I'm tempted to use it on the RFC as an example of "if people using unicameral scripts need multiple writing style where Latin uses case conventions they will find it"
<bofh>
egg|z|egg: so I already have that bookmarked and use it a lot
