There are a lot of problems with this proposal, and it's also not clear what problem it's solving. Battery life prevents using this for long hauls, but the idea of using these small pods that can easily split up on small industria

I designed and made a Nintendo Switch ornament with a 1.14” 240x135 LCD display [0] that plays videos (actually animated gifs) off an SD card. It’s based on a small ESP32 module (Lilygo T-Micro32 Plus [1], which is pretty much just a ESP32-

Let me know if you have any questions about the project or split-flaps in general! I built a big one for a City of Palo Alto art festival recently which was a lot of work but really rewarding: https://youtu.be/g9EPabcxBsM T

My favorite was the single egg carton: https://i.imgur.com/tLAIx5Z.jpg Sure, maybe it's not actually that much extra packaging compared to 1/12th of a normal egg carton, but it certainly felt ridiculous to recei

One of the recipes I tried listed "Add salt and pepper to taste" after basically every intermediate step, so I could certainly understand why someone might end up with too much salt if they're not paying too much attention or

Is that actually the case? The reference I see for 1-9 in the spec is not talking about length of the number, but is referring to digits 1,2,3...,9 as a single token in the grammar. digit1-9 is a token that's used to disallow leading z

I think there's two distinct notions of type safety being discussed here: most deserializers in typed languages provide type safety once successfully deserialized, but the IDL/shared-schema approach helps guarantee that you'l

Currently using an IR reflectance sensor and a hole on the spool gear - you can kind of see it here: https://github.com/scottbez1/splitflap/wiki/Electronics The sensor is mounted on a PCB that can be physical

Heh, I don't have any near-term plans to sell fully assembled modules, though I may consider making kits or something once I've refined things further. In the meantime, you could maybe try https://www.flapit.com ? No i

Thanks! Yeah that's a tradeoff that I've been struggling with. I still think there's a lot of additional learning potential with through-hole components you can breadboard, though you do sacrifice board space, availability of

Thanks! Yeah, they've sadly been disappearing over time. But now that I've really gotten familiar with the complexity and precision required for each individual character I can totally understand why digital makes more sense than

As a hardware side project I've been designing and building an open source split-flap display - the kind of electro-mechanical displays you used to see in train stations and airports that loudly flip through letters and numbers as they

The thing that really got me excited about FPGAs was working with the "HappyBoard" that was used for MIT's 6.270 robotics competition[1]: it's similar to an Arduino (AVR microcontroller with pin headers broken out and US

If anyone wants more evidence of just how easily the Nexus 4 slides off things, here's a very unscientific video I took after witnessing my Nexus 4 slide off something and shatter the rear glass: http://www.youtube.com/

If you click the "Kind" column header a few times it will change to "Size" - it's not the most obvious, but at least it's still there. Unfortunately the column switches back to Kind when you navigate to a new folder though.
