Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards

Today I found Quake ported to Arduino Nano Matter and Sparkfun Thing Plus Matter Boards via this article from Hackaday: Quake In 276 KB Of RAM.

The code is on GitHub and there’s a YouTube video with a high-level explanation.

My day at ElectroneX with my friend

Well. Wow. What a day!

Today was the opening day of ElectroneX in Sydney.

I had the great privilege of spending the day with my very good friend Aleksei. Between us I think we managed to talk to every single exhibitor. By the time I got home my legs were sore and my lips were parched, so much walking, standing, and talking!

I turned up in character. I wore my costume. A lot of people thought that was fun, as did I. :)

I met Dave Jones of EEVblog fame, which really made my day. I knew he would be there and I was really hoping to see him, and I did! He was nice enough to plug my channel, what an excellent human being! <3

And as if things couldn’t get better they went on and did! It was an honour and a privilege to meet Nicholas Vinen, the editor of Silicon Chip magazine. I had hoped that he would be there and I would run into him… and then he was and I did!

All round a super great day. I had a lot of fun, learned a few things about the state of the art, and I even netted a few new subscriptions on the channel. :)
