Hi all,

I am working on a project that uses a Rasp Pi Pico connected to a UHF RFID scanner. I was doing ok till I had to move it from plugged in to battery and am now running into issues with the UHF board pulling too much power to start

I have looked online and believe I need capacitors and/or a step down/up regulator, but I am not sure about how it all hooks together, or how to calculate what cap(s) I need to make it all work, do they need to be in series, parallel etc

I have got a Pololu 0J7359 regulator and a cap set on the way, but is there any good resources to understand how to put it all together?

But deep down I love it

So I've got a mesh that I like that I've been trying to import into Unreal Engine. I have managed to export the mesh from Blender as a heightmap that I am happy with, but it appears that when it's imported into Unreal, the areas around the coast line get stretched to be taller than the original mesh, while the two higher spots appear to get flattened off. I've already got the landscape scaled to 20% to make the low lying areas to be more the correct heights, but they still appear too tall. I've got both the orignal mesh and the landscape in the pics to show the difference.

I also imported the heightmap into Unity to see if it was a problem with the heightmap, and it appears to load there ve
