7/29/2013: As I stated; been working on the cabinet for the Mirror universe project. I bought a couple of "project" Bally Star Treks from a fellow pinball collector out of Shertz a few years ago. These have been setting in storage for a while... and...
The last log has shown the results of the latest development work, which ensures that input data are correctly pre-sorted into ascending runs as they arrive, at the cost of more than doubling the working area (which is not surprising for a merge sort)....
The Z axis deviated from using the motors used on the X and Y axis. Instead a motor that was pulled from some random copy machine was used. The linear guides are some that were bought off of ebay coming from China. Not sure if I will go this route for...
All this is being done for a set piece for a local Atlanta Dance Company called Lucky Penny. It sounded like an amazing project and I was hooked from the beginning. Too bad I didn't find out about it sooner as we had about 2.5 months before...
I promised this log for several times and now it is finally here. Let's start with how a rising edge looks.RisetimeThe orange and light blue ones were measured using commercial devices, the Agilent 86100C and LeCroy WaveRunner (this one was already mentioned...
By whygee on Sunday 14 July 2013, 17:24 - ArchitectureThe YASEP is my playground so I can experiment freely with computer science and architecture. It lets me consider the whole software and hardware stack, not just some pieces here and there. A recent...
This is (hopefully) the last log. The project is complete at this point. There are some bits of code that is necessary to get the UPS working properly. Paul Versteeg upgraded the code to include a logging capability and also provided a service file for...

I have signed up for the RetroChallenge 2023/10 - my goal is to turn this into the multi-functional Microtronic extension I've been dreaming of. As described on the RetroChallenge page: My goal is to create a multi-purpose expansion for the Busch Microtronic...
Alright! Lets get started. Welcome to Hack Chat @kevin ! While we wait for people to post their questions to https://hackaday.io/event/159091-art-cars-and-flame-effects-with-kevin-bracken can you tell us about about yourself ? kevin3:02 PMCertainly!...
The mane feature of the GUI is the setting for mixing the 4 ADC's. Mixing down before writing was deemed necessary, since the storage goes from 10 hours for a single channel to 2 hours for 4 channels & multiple files with differential pairs are...
Stephen Tranovich12:08 PMCool, let's get rolling! This hack chat is going to be more of a community discussion around Prize entries, unique ways of energy harvesting, and anything else about the Prize. Orlando Hoilett12:09 PMIt's kind of a neat way to...
The critical part of the "bitslice" architecture defined by #AMBAP: A Modest Bitslice Architecture Proposal is the register set. It uses quite a lot of parts ! An 8-registers implementation with 16 bits each requires 128 bits of storage ! So that's a...
Part of me has gained quite a bit of interest in trying to implement this thing (at least read-back) with discrete logic, like TTL/7400-series. Sync: There's no reason it has to be the same duration as a PWM-nibble. 4us seems better to me. The key concept...
As I complete each module of the computer, I like to revisit Ben's videos both to make sure I haven't missed anything and also to see what I can learn from the design choices made. Now that I am starting to design PCBs for each module, I am also finding...
