... Aaaand today I learn that the #Adafruit USB to Serial cable is incompatible with the Pine 0x64, because the cable can't do 2,000,000 baud and the pine only speaks that.

whee....

Sticking with a Pico W UART if/when the Pine ever gets wifi or other device support.

#SoC #microcontrollers #FunWithTech

(PPP) is better engineered, has more features, and does not require its IP address configuration to be set before it is established. On #microcontrollers, however, SLIP is still the preferred way of encapsulating IP packets, due to its very small overhead
SLIP requires a serial port configuration of 8 data bits, no parity, and either EIA hardware flow control, or CLOCAL mode (3-wire null-modem) #UART operation settings.

SLIP does not provide error detection, being reliant on upper layer protocols for this. Therefore, SLIP on its own is not satisfactory over an error-prone dial-up connection. It is however still useful for testing operating systems' response capabilities under load (by looking at flood-ping statistics).

So, I have finally gotten to where I was trying to go. I had to give up on VSCode and PlatformIO, and then hand patch webserial.h to use the ESPAsyncWebSrv version of the library, because ESPAsynceWebServer library wouldn’t compile.

But now, I can connect to the serial console over wifi (read, when I have it on the electronics bench), while the things are on a breadboard.

The first functional prototype of the #ObliquePalette is complete! Corners have been cut to get the prototype ready for creative experimentation, integrating the whole #ObliquePalette into a #SynthDiy #Eurorack.

When it’s done, the Easel will be fully, graphically programmable with #plugdata operating not only stand-alone, but also programming #microcontrollers, VST plugins, and purpose-built Easels that will run the patch on your own one-off hardware.

The front panel of the Oblique Palette is six knobs and two buttons, each with a 3.5mm input jack, female DuPont headers, and an LED indicator.

It also has four (very bad) analog outputs with servo-compatible DuPont jacks.

@hotkey Retro projects can be challenging when you consider the hassle of getting some of the parts and then the construction complexity due to the usually high chip count. I find it a barrier for a lot of my casual tinkering.

Using #microcontrollers like the #RasPi #Pico and the #Arduino converts these hardware problems to software ones.

I think the whilst it might not tick all the "purist" boxes, it does make things more accessible and keeps the retro stuff alive 🙂

When I first started with #Microcontrollers - it was all #PIC and #BASIC (#BasicStamp) - Much later, when I got back into Microcontrollers - it was all #ATMega (#Arduino) - Then I went a little crazy when the #ESP8266 came out - I was all in with using them, every project. And I have lots of 8266s, Now It's all #ESP32 when I think of projects, it's grab a ESP32 & build a project. I'm pretty much all in with them now. Now mostly I buy the C3 and S3 controllers

Hey y'all! I finished the first part of the SIM module series (where I review and test the cheapest LTE modules from #aliexpress).
This is about the cheapest module I could find, the 7€ FS800E.

Here's the link: https://tudbut.de/fs800e.html

In short: It connects to the network fine and seems to work in theory, but it seems to have issues with the APN setup, resulting in internet not being available. If I find a fix (which I've been searching for and asking the seller about for a few days now to no avail), I will update the article.

Please consider donating at https://paypal.me/tudbut to keep this series alive as I can't afford it otherwise (make sure to specify that its for the SIM module reviews). I already have 3 other modules being shipped to me right now, and some ideas for which to review next.

Whenever I review a module (including this one), I include documentation and any quirks I come across that got me stuck at first.

@mastar2323 Because #Scheme is the most minimized of the practical Lisps.

It’s hygienic macros make mistakes much less likely and most of its design choices are sound (in my opinion after using it for 10 years in my hobby projects).

And there are many implementations, suitable for different domains (from #microcontrollers to #webservices).

I have quite a lot more followers than I did when I first wrote my introduction, so it’s only fair that I’m writing a new one, bump up the major version.

#introduction #intro #introductions

Hi! o/

I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).

Tried a lot of programming languages in my childhood up until now, a non-chronological list of ones that stuck with me for one reason or another being: VB6 (that’s what I started on at 8 years old), #pascal (+ #freepascal and #delphi), #perl (+ #raku), #tcl #tcltk, #lisp (usually #scheme, on a good day #elisp #emacslisp and #commonlisp), #elixir, #php, #forth, #lua, #oberon, #modula-2, #cpp #c++, #ocaml, #fsharp, #smalltalk (+ #squeak #pharo #self), #ada, #powershell, #dart, #matlab, #rlang, #zig, #nim, #cobol and #julia. I don’t claim full proficiency in all of these, but I’m familiar enough with these (+ some others not mentioned here) that I could get along just fine with 2 weeks at most of studying and looking through cookbooks and examples). I’m flexible in learning new languages and technologies if needed.

I also do #sudoku and #math for fun (especially functional equations and number theory problems, sometimes calculus and geometric algebra). I am interested in #linguists, #conlangs (#lojban and #esperanto) and #nlp, contemporary (post-‘45, usually post-‘89 for me) history, #balkan history, lower-level stuff (I like to learn about how tools around me work, I’m most interested in #compilers, #emulators and #microcontrollers), #typography and #latex, #linux + #bsd, #msdos, #amiga, #oberon, #plan9, #philosophy, #astronomy (especially in a worldbuilding context) and #philosophy, along with other less notable interests.

I engage in #politics relatively often irl, although I’m not inserting it in absolutely every scenario in my life. As I mentioned, I’m a #leftist and #progressive (or… um… #woke) (Nazis and fascists can have a merry fuck off, DNI with me). I am also a spiritual person, a #deist (if you really want to put it that way, an agnostic, although it’s not quite true) and I find #astrology and #tarot interesting (I’ll let you guess my moon and ascendant, let’s see how close you are).

With that being said, I hope I’m welcome here, you can pick your subset of things that interest you from this list, you have plenty of options. :P Quite a bit longer than last time, but oh well…

Due to my ADHD, I'm picking up (and neglecting) new interests pretty frequently. Currently I'm into #cnc, #woodworking, #lasercutting, #microcontrollers and will try to use this space to share a couple of projects.

In the past, I've played #bassguitar in a couple of bands, done some #analog #bwfilm #photography and #musicproduction. Musically, I'm very much into #mathrock and slowly getting into #jazz.

Oh, I also maintain a collection of #rubiks #puzzles of various shapes and dimensions.

2 weeks later #introduction

I'm a free software developer, I created the #AtomVM project which allows running software written in #Erlang and #Elixir on #microcontrollers, I also used to work on #KDE #Plasma in the past.

I will post here on this account mostly about computers, software and the projects I work on.

My other account in italian: @bettio@patavium.social where I will post about hiking, cats and other stuff I find interesting.

From Padova, Italy. I speak Italian, English and Japanese.

Hey there,

I'm Ellis and I've been a developer using PHP since 4.0. I'm in my 40s and have a 4 year old kid, so I'm perpetually tired. I'm also in into #3DPrinting, #electronics, #microcontrollers, #microphones, #crafting (vinyl cutting stuff), and other stuff I forget about. 👋 #introduction

Nerds! If you want to release code on GitHub that’s a (mainly) a bunch of different MIT licensed code smushed together to make something new, what’s best practice in terms of referencing the originals? #programming #python #microcontrollers

🌌 New themed servers in Fedi network (2/3):

https://indiepocalypse.social - for independent #creators of all sorts

https://makerspace.social - space for makers (#CNC, #woodworking, #microcontrollers, etc)

https://3dp.chat - #3D printing

https://brettspiel.space - for #boardgame players

https://podcasts.social - for #podcasters

#fediworld

I guess everyone else is, so I'll do an #introduction as well.

I'm Andy, but most people, especially online, know me as Bob (due to a manager at Yahoo! in the late 90's playing a practical joke and it stuck).
I've actually been on here since 2019 but mostly kept lurking occasionally.

I have a wife and 13yo son. Like fiddling with #3dPrinting and #microcontrollers and #robotics. I'm also a #marksman shooting in county rifle teams for full-bore and small-bore.

I'm not officially in #infosec but have been working in networking and sysadmining since token ring networks were the latest hotness and the Internet consisted of telnet, ftp, gopher and email.

I currently work as an #cloud #infrastructure #architect for an #ecommerce startup and am notionally in charge of #security as no one else is interested.

I follow #infosec where I can and keep having ideas about stuff I'd like to research.

I am a self-taught #programmer, #sysadmin, and #hacker. I started with HyperTalk. I used to be "popular" on #Neopets. I can breathe #HTML and #CSS. I learnt Java, C, PHP, and more. These days I mostly write in #Python (and #CircuitPython), and work with #TypeScript and #Ruby. I do a lot of fun things with #microcontrollers.

Hello 👋

An #introduction. We are #MCQN_Ltd, an #IndieMfg company in #Liverpool.

We make (and sell) gentle, Internet-connected objects, and help others build their #embedded and #IoT projects. So expect anything from Internet-connected bubble machines to sensors on wave-energy #prototypes.

We're strong believers in #OpenSource; both #firmware and #electronics/#PCB.

#OpenHardware #OSHW.

And we work with many #microcontrollers including #ESP32 #ESP8266 #Arduino and #RaspberryPi.

#Introduction

I'm a retired software engineer in #PDX. I worked on #LLVM and other #compilers. Earlier, I did #DSP and #embedded computing. I was trained in #mathematics originally. I like #electronics and #microcontrollers.

I started a #woodworking hobby. I prefer to work with hand tools and go slow. I'm not starting a table factory to feed my family, so it's okay.

I learned recently that I'm #ActuallyAutistic. Currently recovering from #burnout that's likely related to this.

Title: #Introduction
Author: episode0x01
Bio: UK-based US-born anarchist working in healthcare tech
Interests:
- Seeing the human behind the keyboard
- #Python <3
- #Microcontrollers and single-board computers
- #Chiptunes #nerdcore #synthwave
- Infosec (looking forward to #thotcon 0xc)
- Fantasy Premier League
- #Foraging
- #solarpunk

Since there has been a huge burst of new activity out there, and everyone has been doing #introductions I guess I should (re)do a hashtag-laden #introduction of my own.

I am a mid-century modern weirdo from #YYC aka #Calgary #Alberta #Canada that runs https://coales.co Hometown/Mastodon site out of the garage in his back yard (the servers are literally bolted to the ceiling in there...told you I was weird)

Like a lot of people here I am a computer nerd who codes a lot of #Python and tinker with #microcontrollers and #OpenHardware and uses #Linux mostly. Professionally I do #IndustrialAutomation #SCADA stuff.

That said I often (sometimes mostly) post random and sometimes weird stuff. Occasionally political but put it behind content warnings. I am generally #AntiAuthoritarian and I dunno maybe #mutualist if I had to label it.

Also like weird #WatchParties like #Monsterdon and #WeAreNameless, and cute fuzzy animals (not like THAT jeez) and #ShitPosting and I'm occasionally a necromancer of old #Memes
