![]() ![]() Universal Signal Isolator shield for the Arduino DUE (Rev.1).pdf (2805 downloads) The documentation for the original design (in archive form) can be found here: The following documentation pertains to the newer design. I have introduced it in this post, detailing the changes from the original design. 1.1 boards (very similar to the original design) and then finally this PCB: ![]() The result of this optimization was a short run of Rev. The original design was completed around September 2015, but since then there has been a lot of interest in this design so I have been further optimizing it. Thus was born the Universal Signal Isolator shield for the Arduino DUE: It would provide electrical isolation for both I2C as well as serial signalling. ![]() My first thought was to design a new shield specific to the dam but then I thought “why not design a universal isolator shield?”. This means that my Arduino would have to share a common ground with my XMOS-based USB interface. Even though this interface is electrically isolated from the dam board, it is not isolated from the USB to I2S interface. The years passed and my needs changed with the introduction of the dam1021 DAC and its serial interface. To accomplish that I had designed a little Arduino shield. I have written code to control them with the help of Arduinos, but early on I realized that I also needed to have electrical isolation between the Arduino and the DAC, in order to eliminate the possibility of interference and/or noise. Since these last few years DACs have become fairly complex, sometimes they can benefit from being controlled by microcontrollers. I myself own two such DACs, a Buffalo III and a Soekris dam1021. A big part of DIY audio is building DACs. If you are reading these lines, you are probably into DIY audio. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Nonetheless, since the feature is invite-only for now, its impact on PayPal's future revenues would be minimal momentarily. In contrast, Amazon reported approximately $143.52B of revenue in North America for the retail segment, assuming a flat 60% net sales mix for the region. Nonetheless, given that PayPal is often an individualized account, the scale of its global membership numbers would not be a fair comparison to Amazon, given that the latter allows Prime to be shared among the household.įor FY2021, PayPal reported $13.71B of revenues in the US, accounting for 54% of its global sales then. That might be a blow for PayPal, given that 89% of Americans were estimated to use the payment gateway for online shopping in 2021. In addition, since the 'Buy with Prime' feature is expected to be launched in the US ( for now ), we expect PayPal to lose some of its market share in the region, given that there are 148.6M Prime members in the US as of FY2021. Why does this matter? Given Amazon's push for 'Buy with Prime,' we expect more Prime members to use the frictionless payment system, compared to PayPal's externalized platform. If we were to compare their users, PayPal obviously edged out Amazon Prime members with 426M active global users by FY2021, while the latter reported over 200M global Prime members. Seeking Alpha itself offers an option to pay its global writers through PayPal, amongst others. ![]() Besides the usual retail payment gateway, PayPal ( and Venmo ) is also popular for those seeking to receive salaries from global companies, payments from US insurance companies, and tax refunds from the US government. In the meantime, PayPal has been more aggressive in its expansion and operates in over 200 countries with 25 currencies. Though Amazon does not break down its revenues for its Amazon Pay, we believe it would have contributed a decent sum, seeing that the company is eyeing a bigger pie in the payment gateway market through the 'Buy with Prime' feature. Though similar in terms of transactional fees, Amazon Pay is still limited to merchants in 18 countries, though consumers are largely able to use the service globally with 12 supported currencies. In contrast, PayPal's processing rates are in the range of 1.9% to 3.5%, with a fixed fee ranging from $0.05 cents to $0.49. ![]() Based on its website, Amazon Pay charges a 2.9% domestic processing fee and a $0.30 authorization fee for web and mobile-based transactions, while charging 3.9% for international transactions. With Amazon Encroaching The Online Payment Space, Will PayPal's Growth Suffer?Īmazon Pay is not new, since the digital wallet was introduced by the company back in 2007. While we anticipate that PayPal Holdings ( NASDAQ: PYPL)'s Venmo digital wallet will lose some market share in the e-commerce segment, its impact will not be significant. The feature would not only provide convenience to many US consumers, but also give US retailers access to Amazon's significant e-commerce market share, which accounts for over 148.6M Prime members as of FY2021. Though Amazon plans to make the feature available to invite-only US retailers first, we expect more online platforms to adopt it once it is available nationwide, and speculatively, globally. Its goal to penetrate the broader e-commerce market is evident through the company's bundled services, including Amazon Pay and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), the company's free and fast shipping with free returns. RichVintage/E+ via Getty Images Investment ThesisĪ, Inc ( NASDAQ: AMZN) has gone on the offensive by announcing its plans to offer 'Buy with Prime' beyond its own platform in the US. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are many tourist attractions along the route, including the Coin de Mire, Gunners Coin, Ilot Gabriel, etc. You can either take the catamaran cruise for two hours or a full day to admire the breathtaking views around you.

![]() This can take some time on large directories. FFS, in order to be able to sync deletions as well, has to first compare all the designated source and destination directories. ![]() The problem you'll run into is that a NAS is a slow device compared to an internal hard drive. I'm a fan of FreeFileSync BUT it may have some limitations for your exact scenario. The flip-side of that coin being that you'd need to come up with a solution for supplying alternate NAS credentials as part of any automated sync process. To a debatably lesser degree, the same is true even if you don’t keep NAS network drives constantly mapped but still use the same username/password on your NAS as you do on your PC. If you have persistently mapped drives, then malware threats have the potential to affect items in those network shares regardless of sync frequency. If it is too frequent, you could sync corruption, viruses or cryptolocker infections to your backup copy before you notice it. This post contains the robocopy syntax I use including the relevant blurbs from robocopy's help info:īe careful about setting too short of a sync frequency. ![]() Additionally, I’m not entirely sure if either /S or /E replicate deletions. Just an FYI that /S in robocopy does not replicate empty subdirectories.

If you are willing to a tiny bit of work, you can just use built in command line utility robocopy. That looks like it might be a good solution. I know Windows 10 has a sync capability, but it is not enabled for Windows 10 Home so I need a single solution that I can install on each Windows 10 system.

Apollo suffered a setback in January 1967, when three astronauts were killed after their spacecraft caught fire during a launch simulation. In February 1962, John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth, and by the end of that year, the foundations of NASA’s lunar landing program–dubbed Project Apollo–were in place.įrom 1961 to 1964, NASA’s budget was increased almost 500 percent, and the lunar landing program eventually involved some 34,000 NASA employees and 375,000 employees of industrial and university contractors. would land a man on the moon before the end of the decade. Kennedy made the bold, public claim that the U.S. On May 5, astronaut Alan Shepard became the first American in space (though not in orbit). effort to send a man into space, dubbed Project Mercury, NASA engineers designed a smaller, cone-shaped capsule far lighter than Vostok they tested the craft with chimpanzees and held a final test flight in March 1961 before the Soviets were able to pull ahead with Gagarin’s launch. In April 1961, the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to orbit Earth, traveling in the capsule-like spacecraft Vostok 1.
