Woah, hey, it's me! I wanted to share this on HN but wasn't sure if it was kosher. I guess someone else did it for me! I just started working on these last week and they were very well received on Twitter. Then, to my astonishment, Edward Tufte retweeted it! https://twitter.com/EdwardTufte/status/954537749234765825 https://twitter.com/EdwardTufte/status/954537749234765825 I have one of his books but didn't realize he was on Twitter until that moment. I was blown away. A lot of folks asked to buy one, so I made the page that this HN post links to on Sunday night. Within hours Tufte reached out to buy 3 of them! :-o I have 6 other buyers so far as well. So I've been busy fulfilling these requests and trying to figure out shipping and stuff. Interestingly, about half of the buyers so far are in neuroscience. http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005268 http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/jou...

Saw this going around #plottertwitter. Very lovely work - congrats! If you want to try running this in a big robotic whiteboard, let me know.

Cool, you wrote your own NES emulator for this? This is off-topic, but I've been meaning to write an emulator for ARM Cortex-M platforms as an introduction to the idea, but haven't had much luck finding good beginner-friendly resources. So...thanks for writing up and collating so much information about the NES in one place!

  Nah, I had already written the emulator a couple years ago.

  I'd recommend having a look at emulators for other chips in general and just tailoring them to ARM Cortex-M. The architecture reference manuals (ARM ARMs, har har) are freely available on ARM's website[0]. I'd recommend the ARMv6-M for Cortex-M0/+ or ARMv7-M for Cortex-M3/4/7. I think the latter manual covers both ARMv7-M (M3) as well as ARMv7E-M (M4 and M7).

Author of that PlosCB paper here, I love these plots! This is such great work, and I've been telling everyone I know to check it out.

  That's awesome!

These are so cool! I think you may have inspired me to buy a pen plotter! I also read your Medium article about programming for the plotter. Great stuff, thank you for sharing the knowledge and for making such a cool project!
