Here's a rust version i made with bitmapped fonts for both i2c and SPI https://github.com/scopenews/minimalSSD1306driver/ I was running this on my pi as a demo. I normally work wit…

We went to the Dunbrody Famine ship exhibit in New Ross, Ireland a few years back. It was a neat exhibit, first they seat you in a dark small room and show a movie detailing the si…

Is this an actual problem to be solved? I would not want our repo "attached" to devices capable of one click operations.

I enjoy coming up with questions deemed so politically incorrect that alexa responds with a BONK noise.

Ended up on Elmendorf Air Force Base (at the hospital) this way once as a little kid in the early 1980s. The bus actually went from Anchorage onto the air force base and then calle…

Maybe we should take both answers, paste them into a new chat and ask for a summary amalgamation of them

I switched away from full solid copper floods due to this. (Even with nice soldering equipment.) I still use full size floods but they are more like basket-weave patterns, probably…

Four layer boards are so cheap now, it's all I choose. I usually do two internal ground planes and route my power on one side unbroken. I haven't made an interrupted return path si…

As a 1970s kid, a tiny brilliant red LED 7-segment digit is the most nostalgic display possible!

I bet the Earth chuckles at our attempts to label either of these the largest living things. I guess as Guinness Book entries go, these will do until something surpasses them. I've…

Victoria BC is the only place I've walked past someone smoking heroin out in the open on a busy city street. (Last October.)

It's just faster and easier to iterate PCBs anymore than large breadboard creations.

And then all this talk about "NSW"

> How expensive are they to make these days? A good question, I can't answer. But I can tell you, when my daughter had her liver transplant, they gave her an insane amount of medic…

We rented from a place called SAD CARS in Iceland. The car... worked for our entire trip.

What is causing the interrupts? Any change to encoder A or B?

References please. I did not see anything in the article about it affecting BS

The first six weeks are pretty intense. The recovery is amazing as how fast liver labs drop and how fast the jaundice yellow clears. I would probably say six weeks is a fair figure…
