NotesSo weâve managed to pick up an arbitrary educational computer off the side of the road, figure out its ROM pinout, make a composite mod for it, and draw pixels to the screen. Why am I still feeling dissatisfied? Itâs because I donât have printf working still.FeedUnfurl
NotesGot soldering kits that take side-insert CR2032 holders? Want to get rid of that coin cell holder and convert it to USB? The Coin Cell Be Gone does exactly this! Solder it directly to either a through-hole or surface mount side-insert footprint at the 3 castellations
NotesThis is a live-coding tool, where you can write a 2D fragment/pixel shader while it is running in the background. It's a fork of Bonzomatic that add network communication (WebSocket Server). The goal is to send a shader as text across a network and receive it somewhere else for display. The shader is send when you ask for compilation (ctrl+r) and also at regular updates (interval can be set in config.json) Bonzomatic can be launched as "sender" or as "grabber" if you want to send your shader or visualize a distant shader.Unfurl
NotesThe Sorbus Computer started with the idea on building a very simple and cheap 65C02 based computer. It was intended to show the operation of the CPU for a talk about historic computers during a talk and workshop (slides blow). Unfurl
NotesEngelbart's demo also featured an input device known as the keyset, but unlike his other innovations, the keyset failed to catch on. The 5-finger keyset lets you type without moving your hand, entering characters by pressing multiple keys simultaneously as a chord. Christina Englebart, his daughter, loaned one of Engelbart's keysets to me. I constructed an interface to connect the keyset to USB, so that it can be used with a modern computer. The video below shows me typing with the keyset, using the mouse buttons to select upper case and special characters.FeedUnfurl
Notesthanks to the work of [decrazyo] thereâs a piece of furniture that you can add to your Animal Crossing house that will never get old: an x86 emulator that boots Linux. As explained in the video below, this trick leverages the fact that Nintendo had already built a highly accurate Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) emulator into Animal Crossing on the GameCube, which could be used to run a handful of classic games from within the playerâs virtual living room. But it turns out that you can get that emulator to load a user-provided ROM from the GameCubeâs memory card, which opens the doors to all sorts of mischief.FeedEmbedUnfurl
NotesThe Beeper consitst of three parts: the hardware, the firmware runnning on the hardware, and software running on my work computer. If my computer screen is unlocked for too long, the Beeper starts beeping and because it is situated away from my desk I must get up to silence it. Mission accomplished: I stopped sitting still.Unfurl
NotesThe problem with Advent of Code is that it is a waste of time. Most of the puzzles are in the realm of either string processing (somewhat applicable to programming), logic puzzles (not really applicable to most programming), or stupid gotchas in the input format (annoyingly, very applicable to most programming). So to combat this a lot of people use Advent of Code as an excuse to learn a new programming language that they wouldn't otherwise have a reason to use.Unfurl
NotesIn this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Docker on your Android phone, specifically using a OnePlus 6T with postmarketOS. I also wrote another blog post explaining how you can run this phone without a battery, allowing it to run forever as long as it remains connected to a power source. If youâre interested, feel free to check it out! This guide can be adapted only for phones on the postmarketOS device list. Please note that this process will erase all data on your phone, so itâs important to use a device you donât need.Unfurl
NotesAfter 39 years, console modders have begun to develop ways to use the Nintendo Entertainment Systemâs infamous expansion slot, a key example of vestigial manufacturing. In honor of this amazing feat, which is being used to add Bluetooth and Famicom Disk System support to the console, I thought it might be good to take a look back at this fascinating wrinkle of history. Todayâs Tedium ponders the legacy of the NES Expansion Port, and where itâs going next.FeedUnfurl
NotesWhen you connect to an airplane wi-fi network, youâre usually met with a payment page where you can purchase access to the internet. The page also usually gives you the same flight information that youâd find in the back of your headrest, like speed, direction, and estimated flight length. Perhaps it would have a map as well, I thought.Unfurl
NotesWhy load your 8bit things via the convenience of Cassette, Disk or Cartridge when you can load things via YouTube video? Because itâs horribly slow thatâs why! But it is rather cool! And if like me youâve got a million electronic bits and bobs lying around the house, you may have enough electronic purchase left-overs to start making your own Jelly-Load interface right now! đFeedEmbedUnfurl

NotesSince this computer uses a CPU that is about 45 years old, it cannot compete at all with today's computers in terms of performance. However, I wanted the PERSEUS-8 to have functions and appearance that would remind us of concepts that today's computers has lost.Unfurl

NotesThere are many open source BBS resources out there for Linux, but I came up short in finding anything even remotely mentioning renegade and Linux in the same sentence. This left me feeling nostalgically challenged so I set out to find a way to run a telnet multi-node Renegade BBS from my Ubuntu system. In this instructable, I will show you how I achieved this and hopefully inspire some much needed creative improvements as well.Unfurl
NotesIn this article, designer In Choi describes a project for his home business in which he replaces a defective part in a 1980s game system to show his full-time employer that they can adopt a methodology using Xilinx programmable devices to replace a range of parts that other semiconductor vendors are no longer producing.
