Yes.
It is unlikely that your Visual Studio project will utilize this much RAM. I have only encountered a few projects that utilize this much RAM... all of them were C++ solutions with 20+ projects/libs and the RAM was used only during the linking stage.
I would recommend Build 1 with only 16GB of RAM. More cores means faster compiling... and with SSD drives you get faster machine code generation on disk.
For running Virtual Machines... Build 1 is also vastly superior due to the large 20MB cpu cache versus the 8MB cache on the consumer processor.
They could save over $500 by avoiding the Intel I7 6900K and going for a lower-end Xeon 8 core processor with 20MB cache. There are dozens of them for under $500.

Hi everybody!
I got a second-hand Pioneer DVR-K17A (a slim burner with IDE interface for my laptop) and I managed to dump the firmware in order to edit it.
I would like to increase the number of writable sectors in a DVD-5 by editing the hexadecimal code. Theoretically, in this way I would enable the overburning feature.
Using an hex editor, I even saw some interesting strings that could be suitable for being modified, but I need someone who perfectly knows this stuff.
I know this is just a minor tweak and I really like experimenting, since the burner's value is very low.
I could even upload the firmware file, if someone were interested.
So if someone has useful suggestions, please reply to this message, even just for recommending particular forums more focused on firmware modding of burners.

Hi
Our team of university engineering postgrads has undertaken a challenge to create from scratch a computer-connected tactile matrix touch pad meant to let blind people sense with their fingers shapes others can see.
Whereas we will eventually need to get the programming job done by professionals, we would like to get a feel of what making a usb connected controller device live.
We would greatly appreciate advice pointing us to the relevant online resources with regards to the following:
- the choice of the programming language - how controllers are programmed these days and which frameworks (if that is the right word) are best to be used
- the path to making the chosen framework implementable in a newly designed device - at which stage of the controller design is it supposed to take place
Greetings
Tom

Too easy for you guys? That's okay. I will do the research myself and would only ask for correcting me if I am wrong on something. I hope noone minds my using this thread as a note board and perhaps someone googling for similar information one day will find it useful.
Here is what I found overnight.
First of all, I was mistaken about python language. The key word here was "driver".
Windows will require a driver made using a Driver Development Kit to convert ascii sent by the device to the computer (this kind of programming may require putting windows into a virtual machine). The communication is actually going to be in two directions.
Now, I will need to find out how to make an electronic device capable of sending and receiving ascii.
Anyone, is that right so far?

Probably yes, but you need to do the R & D yourself to find out whether it works for what you want. This is really not an easy question to answer since there are so many variables. People here will try to help you with specific questions, but we cannot second guess what might happen in a project that does not yet exist outside of your brain.
See How to get an answer to your question - Hardware & Devices Discussion Boards[^].

Of course, thanks Richard very much for your help.
Like I said, this is an initial phase, but we want to get an outlook of what will be there to be done even as the lab team are working on the mechanics of movement. Therefore, I hope you do not mind me using this forum to verify our team's findings and assumptions. Forums is place where many ideas can get combined into new ones - and one can not always predict what the outcome will be.
Thus, may I use the forum to ask some further questions to a broader public?

Of course, but as mentioned in the link I gave you, please try to make your questions specific and detailed. Vague questions tend only to get vague answers.

I have a question concerning python - again, just to check.
Does the stage of the hardware design require taking into consideration the specific language planned to be used, f.e. python vs R?
If not at all, when is this decision to be taken? Is it that a matter of compatibility with the software that is going to talk with the device?

Are you building your own "controller"?
If not, the manufacturer / vendor will dictate what "language" / protocol the controller supports (e.g. MODBUS).
Then there's typically a "driver"; that is written in the "host" operating system's language (e.g. C; C++; Assembler).
Then there's the "application" that communicates with the "driver"; using just about any language that is compatible with the driver.
I would first familiarize myself with what is available / doable before "building from scratch".

I need to exchange some files between a small 8 bit computer and a PC. SD memory cards are accessed by a simple serial protocol and could easily interfaced by the old computer.
Implementing routines to read from a FAT file system would be much work. That's why I would like to use a much simpler file system. On the PC side I would need to write a program that can read and write that file system. In the end I will need low level access to the sectors of the SD card.
Does anybody know a Win32 or .Net library that can do that?
Update: There may be a hardware solution. This device[^] can be hooked up to the old computer's bus as an I/O port and can handle all details of reading or writing to a memory stick. That would eliminate the need to build a custom interface or write code for a specific file system.

I bought an identical monitor (ASUS MX279H 27" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS HDMI DVI VGA Frameless Monitor) to my current setup. Since I only had one DVI port on my computer, I bought an HDMI to DVI splitter per recommendation. Monitor 1 is visible alone. Monitor 2 is visible alone. Monitor 1 replicates to Monitor 2 after some shenanigans. Previously, it was defaulting to 600x480 resolution whenever Monitor 2 was connected, but it is behaving itself now. Unfortunately, I can't get it to recognize the other monitor as a separate monitor. The control panel shows 1 and 2, but if I try to detect 2, the screen either disappears completely on both or it tells me Not Detected and goes back to the 640x480 resolution until I unplug Monitor 2 and reboot again. I've checked all my drivers and everything is supposed to be up-to-date. I'm currently running Windows 10 and I've seen a lot of complaints online about dual monitors setup. Every solution online did not work for me. Any suggestions?

A splitter[^] is good only for screen duplication - it will not let the OS identify that you have two monitors. And as long as OS does not know it will not let you expand the desktop to two monitors...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Thanks! Guess I'll return it for a video card. Really shouldn't trust the store people since what percentage of people would want to duplicate screens for home use.

It may sound weird, but I had similar issues with Win 10 on a laptop (inbuilt screen 1366 x 768) and an external (VGA) monitor of the same resolution. The fix turned out to be updating the video drivers (from the vendor website IIRC). Nothing to lose and all that... It now behaves correctly in that configuration, and also using the HDMI port at either 1366 x 768 or 1920 x 1080.
Good luck,

I got burned to the tune of about $75 and a three day wait last time I had a hard drive failure.
Sure, I "had a backup".
What I learned was that that meant that I had the ability to retrieve THE DATA from the apps which I had, but it DIDN'T MEAN that I had the ability to restore the complete disk.
Now yes, the data from the apps was the critical aspect, but really, paying gobs of money for a "restore" CD (and waiting for delivery, for which I paid more money, for the "expedited" service to my low density populated town) well,,, you get the idea.
Okay, so I want to prepare for the next hard drive failure.
This time, I want to use a package that allows me to...
- Copy the disk (i.e., the entire image) to the external unit
- Change the hard drive
- Boot from a CD-Rom
- Restore the full image
- Reboot and resume with an identical hard drive
I'm Currently running Windows 7 on this machine.
Any and all advice is welcome.
Immediate questions in my head include...
- What do I want ?
- What questions do I ask ?
- Whom do I ask ?
- How do I recognize the idiot packages such as the one I used before ?
- What are the terms I want to see on the marketing hype ?

I would just add another hard drive (internal or external) and "mirror" the "main" drive; if you really want to make it "forgettable".
Back in the day, we used to do disaster recovery by taking the entire "business" (major investment firm) on a disk cartridge and walking it to a bank's data center for rebooting.

Windows 7 already has the feature available to do what you want.
From control panel, select Backup and Restore and the from the left menu select "Create a system image".
You will need a large portable external drive to store the image (preferably a bootable USB Drive). Boot to recovery and select the disk image you want to restore.
Alternatively...
Create a bootable usb stick with toxboot and clonezilla.
Once you boot a PC from the key you can take an Image of the PC and store it in an external HD.
If you connect the bootable drive to another PC and boot it from there, once plugged the external HD you can flash the second PC with the image previously taken.
Here the links for downloads:
CloneZilla
ToxBoot
And procedure:
Save Image to Disk
Restore a Disk Image
I hope this helps. BTW...this is my first CodeProject Reply...so, If I have messed up in any way with my instructions, please cut me some slack.

Hello,
I am trying to follow this link Simple I/O device driver for RaspberryPi[^]
I tried the same for Pi2 B model but it is not working as it should. I changed the address to 3f000000(for pi2 b) and it is building the kernel module. But when I try to use see the output at 15th port, nothing is there. I tried 3f200000 address, but that module was not loading with insmod command. It throws an error "no such device". I checked the /proc/devices file and saw 3f200000 to 3f2000b3 already mapped with gpio, so maybe cannot use that same address to create this driver. Please help me rectify this.
