Electronics projects mentioned by friends
Today on IRC some of my friends recommended or mentioned:
Also, honorable mention: Eliza for the Neo6502 running Morpheus firmware and Neobasic.
And there are heaps more boxes at HackerBoxes.
The Descent Classic Collection
Today I purchased The Descent Classic Collection. I’m looking forward to playing these, but not before I get my Logitech G 4021846 H.O.T.A.S. RGB Throttle and Stick Controller X56.
Decade Resistor Box
I got two of these Resistance Box 0-9999.9Ω Adjustable Lab Resistor Substitution Box Precision 1W Variable Knob Switch Boxes from AliExpress, but they kind of suck a bit. The resistors are only 1/4 Watt, the precision only 5% or 10%, and I had to mod it myself to replace the terminals with banana sockets.
Today I came across Build a Pro Decade Resistor Box for Cheap! PCB & 3D Print Files Included which includes all the plans necessary to make my own resistor box and with 1 Watt resistors.
I might take this on some time.
PS1 Programming with MIPS Assembly & C
In another life I would totally take the time to do this: PS1 Programming with MIPS Assembly & C.
Rory Sutherland reading list
I just watched this presentation from Rory Sutherland: Rory Sutherland: Want Fewer People to go to A&E? Change the Name | Health | WIRED.
At the end he provides this reading list:
- Thinking, Fast and Slow
- Why Everyone (Else) Is a Hypocrite: Evolution and the Modular Mind
- The Company of Strangers: A Natural History of Economic Life
- The Righteous Mind: Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion
- Irrationality: the enemy within
- The Darwin Economy: Liberty, Competition, and the Common Good
- Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions
- Nudge: The Final Edition
- The Rational Animal: How Evolution Made Us Smarter Than We Think
I don’t have the time (or money) to read all of those books, the book I picked to read was Nudge.
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.
Faulty Peak DCA55 Component Tester
I watched this great video: Faulty Peak DCA55 Component Tester – I was shocked! | Can I Fix It? They had an excellent result from Peak Electronic Design Limited when they sought support for the DCA55.
One day, when I am rich, I plan to get the full set of measurement devices manufactured by Peak Electronics.
Jumperless V5
Today I heard about the Jumperless V5 over on Hackaday: Jumperless Breadboard V5 Readies For Launch. Looking forward to hearing more about that when it launches in a few days…
Sigrok and Logic Analyzers
I found this old series of videos from OpenTechLab which starts here: [001] Sigrok and Logic Analyzers.
There is more about sigrok over here:
