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....
I measured values on pin A1 of the ISO 10487 connector. Here you are the measured values: Speed (km/h)Pulse duration (μs)30~1300040~1000050~770070~540090~4200100~3750100~3400120~3200 It can be calculated more accurate values with "distance = speed...
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....
I'm not totally sure which source code is running on my card. That's because I grabbed the file out of my FPGA design sources and there's no matching source file name. Funny that I can run code that I don't know what the source is but it wasn't all that...
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...
I have been rethinking loop antenna tuning. The evolution of this new direction started with the design of a "fine tuning" capacitor. Rather than microstepping a high voltage 100 pF variable capacitor, it could be easier to adjust for low SWR with a...
The original Novell NE2000 card (circa 1991) arrived. Most ISA cards of the BeBox era would have been plug-and-play. Not too much of an issue if you have a Windows 95 machine handy to update the settings. If your only ISA slots are in the BeBox then...
So after several days trying diffrenet approaches for communication beetween server and ESP8266 we finally got the last bit working on the project (have some back logging to do here at hackaday.io), MQTT over a ESP8266 to a Teensy 3.1. The resulting...
The incrementer and the ALU are becoming the critical parts of the whole system and the length of the carry chain will affect the operating speed. In itself, the clock speed is not a goal (the thing is already sooo sloooow that you can see it think,...
Got around to testing some stuff, and it's actually better then I expected with one minor surpriseFirst the bad: The TPS54331 regulator I'm using appears to have a drop out voltage of around 0.5V with light load (i.e. just LEDs) and around 1.2V @ 1.2A....
My great aunt used to say that she had a great Forgettery. I think I inherited it. My Remembery is faulty. I can remember really arcane and worthless trivia, like "CALL -151" enters the machine monitor on an Apple ][ and that the HERO-1 robot had a built-in...
It's been a while...Since the last post, I went ahead and had my gadget control the CH and DHW demands, replacing the room thermostat. This consisted of using the 'spare' optocouplers to drive a pair of 5V relays, and also using some DS18B20's to...
I'd like to avoid frequently replacing batteries or running power wires to the boxes if at all possible, as such, I'm either wanting to have ultra-low power components and 'smarter' operational times (eg only show LED's when someones in the room) or...
Firstly, the name isn't finalized. Any ideas? "NeuroBeast" is a bit lame IMHO. Secondly, a clip of the latest iteration dragging a battery pack across the demo rug:[Ingredients: Seventeen NeuroBytes v0.8 boards. Eight 9g servos. Eight 3D printed feet....
No, I'm not browsing SO looking for help. I'm experiencing it right now :) After I found the definitive places where I'm going to inject my code, I noticed that my .BANKSWITCH 'thingy' must become a callable subroutine. Blah blah blah... Wait a minute,...
