I'm sure you've checked all the usual sources for conflict-free, but the Tantalum caps in some specs are not too much more expensive; tantalum in general is pricier than you like but the conflict free.. 10x the price is okay in small quantity? I've never looked too hard, but we have Kemet...

Lol; "The Osbourne Effect" strikes again :)

Sure; most racks I've worked with have either monitor or panel, and keyboard/mouse in each rack, or readily available on the bench or hanging from side of rack. I mean, if you've got a bunch of racks around, do it right, keyboards are cheap; if you have a single rack in your home basement...

ebay has hundreds of options; Ididnt' read the thread in detail, just popping by .. but you can get VGA-only, HDMI+VGA, HDMI only, composite.. all kinds of options, for $20-$100 depending on the features, size, speed, etc; at this level you're tending to uncased panels and boards, but you can...

Did I write 2017? I will go back and edit the comment. It was 1 or 2 in the morning, and that'd be a fatfinger .. 2018 was what I typed in my head :) I just wanted to jump in and get the mention in, so people would go hit the Pyra site. jeff edit: Caine -- yeah, I don't have the time to keep...

I had just been showing one of mine around again to a few peeps, and still using it for Audacious quite a bit. So had the thing in my hand, and flip on eevblog and wham! ... eevblog is a a huge influence in the electronics nerd community, and one of the few YTs I watch regularly, so it was a...

Well holy crap, Christmas for the Pandora :) Dave of the eevblog got a Pandora in the mailbag! Rebirth edition :) jeff edit: Look at 32mins in

This is probably a simple answer for someone with a better memory than I.. Years ago (search says around 2008) gp32x went down and hando wasn't around, but I recall we had a big kerfuffle and it was preserved? or moved the content to gp32x.de (now here)? or did we import it all in one of the...

With an official BBS and secret handshake too ;) I for one don't have much spare time :(

Theres a few around town for sure :) I was one of the parents of the pandora, and I'm a Torontonian! I know a dozen folks with one around here too.. jeff

"Multi-layer" is mentioned; any details? See, I've often thought about making a simple CNC machine; I started a heavy duty CNC machine, but didn't do my research on the amount of stress, and it bent itself all to shit :) (Also, CNC of metal and wood makes a _serious_ mess, and I didn't want to...

Eagle has a old school ghetto UI, but it does the job .. pretty well. Theres a tonne of videos and tutorials, since the open hardware and OSS and freebie communities rallied behind it long ago, and in CAD land.. big communities is a huge win. Now that Eagle is owned by the big guys and going...

I'm pretty sick today; this is the best pickmeup :)

Eagle has a terrible UI, but is pretty scriptable; one of these days I need to find out how to have it identify dangling traces .. like, if you tear up a component, it leaves the traces leading up to it (should you want to drop something else in, or etc..) -- but after doing some big ripups on a...

Possibly of interest .. I just picked up a piece of astoundingly expensive gear in its day, that is now .. cheapish. Logic Analyzers are notoriously expensive for the 'real ones' - a Salae Logic is a pretty inexpensive USB based LA, with a bytes worth of pins on it. But the industrial strength...

This thread delivers :)

Hey, awesome to see you Chip! :) The PSP battery does some Funny Business, and a lot of the good mods/firmware-hacks do trickery through the battery board firmware to do it. I forget details now, been too long :) The PSP is actualyl really great kit; to me, its a great machine t otake on trips...

Thats what its all about .. never stop learning, never stop making :) jeff

(random aside) .. given bitbox is a subset of Zikzak (but actually in production, unlike Zikzak :), I wonder if I could make a layer to run bitbox stuff on zikzak. ie: bb iirc is just an stm32 with vga out more or less .. but I wonder if I could make the memory map work in ZZ and otherwise be...

Same crowd, just (thankfully) bigger? :) jeff
