Software/Hardware/Nonsense

#AndroidDev, #KotlinMultiplatform by day, but I don't talk about it as much.

Very into #MusicTech, used to work as an #AudioEngineer

Here you'll find lots of #electronics / #embedded work. Love to design new products as well as modify existing ones. Everything is open source, and I try to share my process on YouTube. Like using #CircuitPython as much as possible, but also reach for #Arduino and native SDKs from time to time.

Also a very tired new dad.

We've got this cheap egg cooker that plays the loudest, most terrifying alarm you've ever heard when it's done cooking. My wife requested that I make it "less aggressive" so I hacked it into the most gentle egg cooker of ALL TIME

(warning: probably loud)

Before shot: egg cooker finishing an egg before modification. Jarring alarm goes off, I say "fuck!" After shot: egg cooker finishes. A few moments later, a small mechanical music box next to the cooker starts playing Pachelbel's Canon

@blitzcitydiy Was it because the basement vibes were off? because I'm about 3 more botched attempts at Amazing Grace from "asking" this person to go downstairs ๐Ÿ˜‚

Still unpacking from Open Hardware Summit (both brain-wise and clothing-wise). I had an impossible amount of fun and was so glad to meet so many of you IRL.

If you missed it, here's my talk:

when you successfully rescue $20 worth of parts from a failed PCB and then promptly apply the wrong voltage on the new version and kill your dev board

@MLE_online about a third in and I absolutely love it. I have a feeling that the review will change by the end.

We need to STOP running DOOM on new things
and START putting new things into DOOM.

For example, today I added micro-transactions to the original game. Any time you pick up an item, the game freezes until you make a payment.

opening DOOM from the command line. start a new game. immediately walk to health item. when the character touches it, the game freezes and a QR code pops up. I scan the qr code with my phone and a credit card payment UI is displayed. I enter fake credit card details, hit submit. A second later the web page on the phone says "Payment Complete" and the game on the computer resumes.

This is my entry for the Boston Stupid Shit Nobody Needs & Terrible Ideas hackathon.

The game is actually modified! I jammed libcurl into the chocolate doom source port and wrote a little python server to generate qr codes and handle the payment info.

I gotta say the mastodon web UI looking/feeling really good to me these days!

I understand the criticisms, but I really, really, miss quote reposts over here. Sharing something with context feels like a fundamental social media feature.

I'm working on a talk and would love your opinion if you are a maker of any kind:

What is a prototype?

What are your primary concerns when working on a prototype? (especially vs. something going to "production")

Open to any off-the-cuff answers or more official definitions if such things exist.

These M5Stack C6Nano boards are so friggin cute. Esp-32 C6, 2 LEDs, nice clicky button, IR, and a couple IO. Pretty limited but if you got something you need networked with little room to spare...

Bought a cheap little USB touchscreen and learned the only(?) option for drivers on Mac costs $150 PER MACHINE. Made a little USB converter with a $1 microcontroller (RP2040) that remaps the touchscreen output to standard mouse/keyboard events understood by any computer.

๐Ÿงต

7" cpacitive touchscreen showing my spotify home page. I start, stop, and skip the music, and click through multiple pages. The camera pans and I show an Adafruit RP2040 Feather USB Host board plugged in via USB.
