There is no documentation of what the LEDs were _actually_ doing. There are descriptions, like 'Random and Pleasing is an LFSR', but no actual information that maps to actual pixel…

gettin some real shit hacker news commentors say energy with this one

you'd think so, man. you'd really fuckin think so.

Author here – I did do the ‘think real hard and write Python’ part, but at the netlist level. I used simulated annealing on the 8196 nets to minimize total length / crossings befor…

Hi, author here, for this project, the backplane is as much of the computer as the 'daughter cards'. Think of it like the wire-wrap boards of _really old_ minicomputers. I'm using …

Hey, guy who made this here. This probably deserves a little explanation. First off, I'd like to tell you I'm really, really unemployed, and have the freedom to do some cool stuff.…

It's for a 4096-node cluster arranged in a 12-bit hamming-distance 1 graph. If you know what I'm talking about please don't spoil it for the others. Yeah, it's a very expensive hob…

This project began when I decided it would be easier to write an autorouter than route a 8000+ net backplane by hand. This is a KiCad plugin with a few different algorithms, the co…
