Last week, the Conservify team started their tenure at the SupplyFrame DesignLab Residency! This opportunity is something we've been looking forward to for several weeks and we're very excited. This first post is going to outline the current state of...

Flash Programmer I need a programmer for the FLASH ROM. I designed something in EasyEDA (a PCB fabrication service) but decided strip-board is more appropriate: I destroyed a RAM chip before due to careless programming (... is there really any other...
Finally, B1 and B2 are completed and they.... kinda work... Although I'm going to have to check quite a few things.Remember how B0 performed flawlessly, both when connected via the expansion port, and when replacing CIA#2? Well, that's no longer true....
Genesis V0.5 exhibits the following changes from Genesis V4The Tracks cable carrier is repositioned and now supported with teenuts and long M5 screws, just like on the GantryThe Z-axis motor mounting bracket has been made thicker and the holes for the...
When calculations are done 1 bit at a time, one should probably not expect blazing speed. To measure the clock cycles per operations, I simply baked a 8-digit BCD counter into the system and increment it at each cycle, and reset to 0 at each...
So I've recently got a fully electrically and mechanically complete CAD model of Tetrinsic and was, once again, doing some research for Tetent, mainly because I don't like how this featureless flat face looks: It turns out that the eteeController...
The unusual geometry of plotbot means that one has to find a way to map the Cartesian coordinates of what shall be drawn to the coordinates of the steppers in a way that the tip of the triangle that is formed by the arms will follow the Cartesian coordinates...
The address thing of the past few logs is... cool-that-it's-possible. If you don't recall from a while-back, the idea was to use a *default* address-location to use as a jumping-point to all other address-locations. A bit simplified, I'd write to address...
Sunday, 20/08/2023, 15:02 There is no way I wil be able to finish this project log in a single day or even a single week, so I will just post this here, so if someone wonders "is this project still being actively worked on?" then, they will know...
Finished basic SNES 2P support and some experimental 5P Super Multitap support. Multitap can be configured by setting multitap config to Slot 2 in the Web Bluetooth interface. I also fixed a config corruption bug that impacted mostly PS3 & PS4 controllers....
A Better Backplane In the long run, I don't know if Mackerel will be a backplane system or a single-board computer, but while the project is still in the prototyping phase, having interchangeable component cards on a backplane does make development easier....
The first 5 chips of the GPU were added this weekend. This included the H register (4-bit counters and buffer) and the V and S registers (8-bit flip-flops). Most of the time was taken up with software development for a video timing loop. The end result...
16/01/2024, Tuesday, 20:47 I'm not dying, by the way, just the project, lol. Basically, I was recalculating everything over and over again because since day one I had a flea behind my ear. First I thought "making a mech is actually somewhat...
