In the latest news on the BeefyDuino frontier, my friend Ryan who is the founder of elequa, the company I am helping to start, assembled eight BeefyDuino prototypes (with a little help from his friends including me). He did this because he was going...
I recovered the project file from my drive and made some changes to it. The question is, which wire goes where? I won't know for sure until the dummy plug arrives, but the AUX line is definitely used for this purpose. I even created an EDID data for...
A laptop keyboard is a diode-less key matrix. Its keys are distributed in a way that you can press the most important key combinations at once, despite the lack of diodes - to the point where some rows only contain one or two keys. Often, there's also...
An unexpected cold shower made it clear that I need a new controller for our solar warm water heating system ("split architecture" which is typical for installation in middle and northern Europe - thanks @Saabman for helping me understand that I had...
Detecting and identifying a card As stated in an earlier log, the card insertion is detected by grounding the pin *CD. But this is not enough to make the scope believe he have a know card inside him. You need to indicate him what type of card was inserted....
As you can see below, I am breadboarding the new peak detector changes before committing to a new PC board. One of the changes involves using a MAX5387 digital potentiometer to control the square wave amplitude and EC amplifier gain. The...
sub_F374 has caught my interest because it seems to be painting the LCD with the currently selected file's contents according to several state variables that I have not fully reverse-engineered.The routine begins like this:F374 sub_F374: F374 BD F6 18...
An article recently published on MOONGIFT, a Japanese developer site, has showcased RasDash! The article is entirely in Japanese and Google Translate won't accept the URL as it has special characters but YANDEX does. Below are some links and a basic...
Just a quick picture to show off the tremendous root growth. The plants are about 5 weeks old except the one on the bottom of the frame which is six weeks old. Click on the picture and zoom in to get a good view of how dense the roots are.You...
The main differences between the E6400 and the T400 are the SuperIO, the EC, and the use of DDR2 RAM instead of DDR3. The SuperIO is supported by coreboot, so it should just be a matter of including it in one of the files, but I may have to write new...
Redford did a whole lotta work reverse engineering the BIOS code and figured out that most of the interesting stuff (password check, challenge/response for lost password) is actually done by something off the main x86 processor. We figured out that it's...
The gist of this unit is that you type text into a discrete 'file' and then you can edit and later transfer to a separate computer via the keyboard emulation. While whizzing through the code doing other things, various strings caught my eye, such...
The first step in reverse-engineering any radio protocol is to listen to it on the air. The advent of software-defined radio makes this much, much, easier than before. For this project I've used a nuand bladeRF board and the GNURadio software stack,...
Now that i know how to access and decode the data lets try the Raspi GATTTOOL default BLE handler:Native to Debian and a lso to a bunch of linux distros or so i've heard of . First i reset the bluetooth of the raspi, just in case: sudo service bluetooth...
