i have word that the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms have started shipping to backers (non-hyper, black case, white kailh choc switches). anyone got a notification?

also, we have packed another shipment of 30 Pocket Reforms that's going out on tuesday (after customs clearance). that one also contains devices with Red Pro switches.

so what exactly is the display tech in the daylight dc-1? high res monochrome lcd with the backlight removed/replaced with something transflective?

after a lot of trial and error and reverse engineering of a hdmi adapter from the seller i got the alternative display panel for pocket reform up and running today, finally. this was hard because docs were severely limited and @timonsku and me were extremely puzzled why nothing was working. in the end the escape clock frequency was too high, setting it to 24MHz worked.

anyone can get me the datasheet for Erised ER88477?

Microsoft suddenly going to town again with ARM/qualcomm surely will be good for us in terms of more arm64 software compat and Linux mainlining efforts for Qualcomm hw.

also, people who are tired of all these AI anti-features can be sure that the MNT Reform family will be free of that stuff.

what's the easiest way to forward input events (mouse, keyboard) from a wayland (wlroots) session on one computer to the other (also wayland/wlroots)?

done with the second revision of the RK3588 module for MNT Reform (and Pocket Reform as soon as there are DSI display drivers mainlined). i've been running the first rev in my laptop for weeks (months? lost track of time on this one). this rev has a bunch of fixes and new stuff:
—"wifi/bt" connector to support any kind of off-board sdio/uart/usb module for wifi/bt or other things
—lpc spi connection for system controller
—hdmi fixes (4k@60 works now!)
—extra sai audio lines for phone/modem

the same MNT RCORE module in the pcb editor of kicad, 6 layers, it's a maze of crisscrossing signals

forbidden SD card! (i was looking for some ad hoc non-soldered standard interface for SDIO wifi)

ok, customs release was one day early so the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms are going out to @crowdsupply today

there's a MNT Pocket Reform and a MNT Reform both installing more MNT Pocket Reform motherboards.

the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms are fully packed and declared and will go out to Crowd Supply this friday. these are all "single" (non-Hyper), black case, white (clicky) kailh choc key models. many more to come.

ominous comment in one of my kicad documents

mntmn, 12 days ago to random

today, in a really bad move, i plugged in a displayport breakout thing i was working on the wrong way around and fried the DP section of my trusted 10 year old eizo monitor. RIP

also a lot of other little frustrations, and a few minutes ago on the way home the cops suddenly blocked the one way road (left their car there and ran to some crime scene). after a while the cars behind me decided to go backwards so we all drove backwards for a while onto a big crossing. 😵‍💫

it occured to me that if the web is full of junk (like ai-generated seo content etc), are there search engines where you can create and share with others your own (potentially big) sets of domains to include in the search? (edit for clarification: people would cobble together their own curated subset(s) of the web and just ignore the junk)

did you ever encounter some RP2040 GPIOs just not... working? i.e. you tell it to output a logic high level, but the actual pin is close to GND? we have some pocket keyboards that are like that. there is no short on the board. so i'm wondering how this can happen. damage during soldering, handling?
