At the OHSummit, I was joined by Amber Cunningham, community manager of Tindie. While Hackaday and Tindie have the same overlords ruling over them, we can't really have Amber going around with a Hackaday logo on her badge, can we?...So I spent 15 minutes...
This is an overview of the layout in which KGE works. Get User String (Round 0)Split String Into PairsIf Not Enough Then Add Specially Made Character Which Is Deleted During DecryptionUse Byte SubstitutionSwitch User Strings To IDs and Find Replacement...
I did another test with the rev1 prototype, this time only measuring voltage, and bringing it all the way to the maximum voltage of 60V. Again I am doing calibration and comparison to my Fluke 101 Multimeter. This has a problem as the Fluke 101 does...
The 5.21E ROM works file with the current board, but the 7.11A ROM uses a different pin for the vertical sync signal. This can be fixed, but then the 5.21E ROM results in no display. Rather than fixing the hardware (with a jumper to be changed when the...
Debugging Need to get this project working. One problem is that the Nano does not have enough pins. So I have used a Meduino (a Mega2560 Pro Mini). Here is the schematic: Here is the PCB: The ports (P1 & P2) match the TTA8 bus. A problem with the Meduino...
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...
With the wiring complete I wrote a small program in Python to test the lights, buttons, and switches on the front panel. To be clear this is NOT the KENBAK-2/5 emulator running a program (yet). As it turns out I did have to replace one of the LEDs...
In this chapter, the fundamental concepts of hexapod robots such as walking gaits, stability, kinematics and dynamics are covered which are essential to obtain a better understanding of the control architecture that is delivered in the next chapter....
Intrigued by the various file-related pointers seen in deleteThisFile_EB9B, I remember that the keyboard scan routine had a final case where the bulk of the keystrokes (the printable ones) are handled, and there was a scan code to ASCII routine before...
It is better to read the EC sensor log before reading this one. I wanted to test the stability and accuracy of the EC sensor! So I replaced the EC probe with a fixed resistor (to mimic the resistance of a solution). The EC probe was replaced...

In this project, instead of using a standard embedded processor and programming it to execute 3 tasks at hand (parsing HEX character stream, generating HEX character stream, and writing character stream to video RAM driving VGA), I created 3 independent...
I tried a couple of other cards and found that they have different MBR formats with no header. I noted this in a previous log. There's an offset at 0x01BE that points to the MBR. My theory is this is true for "bigger" cards. I think the reason I could...
