Who is refusing to work on it? The issue tracker shows lots of UI improvement activity. Is there work being done on the project that you feel should be prioritized below certain UI changes?

I have a Noritake Itron display with a 256x128 resolution, which is probably the biggest VFD that's widely available. High voltage is generated by an onboard supply, and you drive it with an 8 bit microprocessor interface, so it's

Just about every Windows program I use is styled differently from the others. Right now I'm running Outlook, Firefox, Solidworks Electrical, Solidworks, Skype for Business, and ECi M1. Outlook uses the latest style ribbon and flat UI,

There's a big community built around DIY Z80 systems, if you're interested in that sort of thing. Grant Searle's breadboard CP/M machine: http://searle.x10host.com/cpm/index.html Spencer Owen's

The AVR can't execute programs from the data bus, which means no execution from RAM or external memory, though you could write a virtual machine that could do so.

You can get a 20MHz Z80 that will overclock up to 33MHz or so. A Z8S180 runs at 33MHz and includes timers, uarts, dma, and an MMU. I don't know how much you could overclock one of them, but it's already pretty fast for an 8-bit ch

There are so many buggy I2C devices out there, I wouldn't say you're gaining hardware robustness, either.

I saved money by living off-campus and driving to school using the cheap car that I also needed to get to work. There are a lot of places in the US like that, where you can't afford not to have a car.

Hah, yeah. I like my shitty car projects. I'd like to replace my current daily driver, but I just can't get excited about new stuff, so it hasn't happened yet.

If your car has points-based ignition, you'll find them in your distributor underneath the rotor. They're switch contact points or breaker points or whatever you want to call them, that are driven by a cam on the distributor shaft

by Gracana 7y ago
You can move the points just like you'd rotate a distributor. One set of points drives one coil which provides ignition for two cylinders, one which is firing (near the end of its compression stroke) and the other non-firing (near the

I have no idea what you're going for here. I feel like Programmer Analogies always rely on the reader agreeing with the author... :|

I'd recommend getting something that can do HF, because that's where things get interesting. For 500, maybe you can get a used FT-857D. You'll need a power supply, too. And an antenna. If you have a local club, talk to the fo

You may be aware, but to add to your comment... Good ol' Z80s are still in active production as well, and you can buy a 20MHz chip in a DIP, LQFP, or PLCC package. Anyone who is interested should check out the RC2014 and retrocomp goog

Why would many people complain if they were not affected? That seems like an odd conspiracy theory.

Choosing not to buy products from a company you don't like seems pretty reasonable to me. It doesn't have to be a cunning plot to destroy the company.
