QuantumPotato posted:yeah, the ESP line is my go to these days for stupid poo poo. they're priced pretty close to the arduinos, but faster and usually have wifi and/or bluetooth. It's a little finicky to set up, but the fact that you can program them directly in the arduino environment is useful for hacking something together, with the large library support arduino has. But, if you want to get deeper into it, there's a handful of C compilers that will work with. yeah wow i need to look into these. sound perfect. arduino is the perfect amount of not complex to get running thankyou for showing me these! exactly what I wanted. but a quick search shows me imma have to spend a bit of time trying to work out what’s what, a lot of selection, I have pretty simple needs - digital out on one pin echinopsis fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Nov 30, 2021 |

c itps s: rewriting the kernel of my hobby OS (which is a POS) for x86-84 instead of 32-bit x86. simplifies some poo poo, complicates some other poo poo, but it improves memory- and MMIO-bound performance significantly, and lets me ignore a bunch of legacy cruft that makes context switches more complicated and have more overhead

Pulled apart the keyboard on the Plus/4 and cleaned all the contacts in it with some contact cleaner and lube. It is now working perfectly, no need to press down hard on the keys for it to register a keystroke. The disassembling process was made annoying by old adhesive cushion rubber strips hiding the shift lock key mechanism that requires desoldering and one of the screws.

Commodore loved those weird locking shift keys that need to be de-soldered every time you open the keyboard. They were in everything - the PET, VIC, C64, Plus/4, and multiple ones in the C128. Probably also in all their dumb failures like the C65 and Commodore 900 too.

yay my 3d printed bracket worked! only weird part was i had to get 5/8" bolts to attach the base to the quick release, i didn't bother designing a good size so it's kind of awkward. it's technically cheaper than just buying one, but only technically. would have been less if i didn't go for stainless hardware.   edit: going to take it to go watch the sandhill cranes, my wife is a bit jittery so i'm hoping she'll get a good look at them with this.

I never switched to long mode on my abandoned project b/c it meant no more EZ mode bios console and disk access. I thought about switching over to the superIO serial port for the console, but wound up just shitcanning the whole thing.

I have a TI-99/4a HOME COMPUTER complete with no peripherals, the incredibly cursed Bill Cosby sales brochure, and a TI Invaders cartridge. Instead of throwing it in a box in a closet for another few years, I'll just offer it to anyone here who will do something with it for the cost of shipping (maybe $30?) Any takers?

baby's first ROM interpretation  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFn9BDe_kZo I used commented decompiled assembly language values to reconstruct some of the music tones in Super Mario Bros' underground theme. Note that some sounds that are playing back is not frequency data, and is unintended. If you're interested in knowing how, I first convert the music data to decimal. The decimal values are indices from the frequency table, as long as the value is under 128 and not a value that goes beyond the size of the frequency table.. Get the hex value from the frequency for the given index as well as the next index. Put the two hex values together, which gives you four characters of hex. Convert it decimal, and use the equation: frequency = 1789773 / ( ( decimalFreqValue + 1 ) * 16 ) 1789773 represents the clock speed of the processor in NTSC converted from 1.789773 MHz.

I needed a printer cart near where the fiber comes into the house, and I discovered that you can just buy, like, shelves and drawers and poo poo for 19-inch racks, so I built this thing instead. Now all the sketchy consumer wi-fi equipment lives on a nice shelf instead of dangling out of disturbingly sticky power strips. e: Posting that with the default SSID and key on it give me that unobscured license plate feeling. I also bought these screws from McMaster. The hex key and a spare live in the drawer too. I can't fathom why anybody would want to use a #3 phillips instead. Or do what I usually do and use a #2 instead and wonder why the heads keep stripping.

Oh yeah, when i rebuilt my radio desk instead of loving around with building full wooden shelves or w/e, I just built two 12u height pine chassis boxes, bought two sets of rails and like eight shelves, mix of 1u and 2u. It's so much better.

It's a good mindset. I love projects like this that started with a trashed space and ended with something almost tidy. I put a piece of pipe above the kitchen sink to hang pots and pans and it was the same story. Feels drat powerful to win back some shelf/counter/floor space.
