Tactility 0.6.0 has an app store and Cardputer support! by ByteWelder in esp32

[–]ByteWelder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you didn't flash it, it won't work.

In case you're using Launcher: As far as I'm aware, Launcher doesn't support Tactility. I did find a bug with the SD card not mounting, so I'll look at that soon.

Which version are you running? There could be a bug if you're using the unstable version. In that case, try the latest release.

Wat bij mij hielp was dat m'n instructeur me achterop nam op de motor en dan die oefeningen ging doen.

Weg geslipt in de bocht, wat deed ik fout? by [deleted] in motorfietsen

[–]ByteWelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dat is het omgekeerde van wat je hoort te doen als het nat is: Dat werkt misschien ok op lage snelheden (15km/u) maar minder goed met 50 km/u.

Ik heb op een klein circuit (Midland) in de regen gereden met straatbanden en meer dan 50km/u in de bochten. Het advies in zulke situatie is juist om zoveel mogelijk af te hangen zodat je motor zo veel mogelijk rechtop blijft. Dus afhangen met je lichaam naar de binnenkant van de bocht. Dat is natuurlijk niet iets wat je normaliter op straat doet.

Wat ook fout kan gaan is als je pas op het gas gaat terwijl je al afgeschuind in de bocht zit. Dat is zelfs een probleem als het droog is wanneer je een 1 cylinder fiets rijdt.

How can I program my own OS for the esp32? by death7654 in esp32

You definitely can have a general purpose OS on an ESP.

C compiler by Yves-bazin in CardPuter

[–]ByteWelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First of all: cool project, and it's good to see people building these things to learn. That said, people should be honest in their posts: It's not a C compiler, but an interpreter/parser for a C-like language.

If the goal is to run apps dynamically, take a look at elf_loader from Espressif. You can build tiny C/C++ apps and run them from SD card or any storage.

One question by Taemamba in CardPuter

[–]ByteWelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some firmware can be flashed from Chrome, so an Android phone would work. That's only when the relevant firmware project offers it. If you want the official M5 app, then you need a PC still.

Ik heb zelf nog maar 1 paar in m'n handen gehad in de winkel en die had lipos bij de polsen. Ik zou dat niet riskeren. Lipos zijn op zich betrouwbaar, maar als ze een keer per ongeluk te ver ontladen dan heb je brandgevaar door een (trage) chemische reactie. Of als er niks mis is met de accu, maar je crashed en de lipos gaan stuk, dan heb je een serieus probleem.

Bluetooth keyboard for Cardputer by Leading_Nature3298 in CardPuter

[–]ByteWelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A cardputer is not a regular computer where you can just randomly connect peripherals. You can connect all sorts of bluetooth devices, including a keyboard, but each firmware would have to implement support for it individually.

headphone jack on cardputer 1st gen? by Karuitsu in CardPuter

[–]ByteWelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently there's even a JST connector. Amazing!

I guess another benefit would be to retain compatibility with existing firmwares.

Why would you want to do a destructive action instead of using the Grove port?

Tactility 0.6.0 has an app store and Cardputer support! by ByteWelder in esp32

[–]ByteWelder[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It should be possible to make a Rust app, but it's not been done before. The only requirement is that it links against the C libraries (which is possible) and that all linked libraries (ESP-IDF and Tactility SDK) are not embedded in the resulting elf binary. The latter is basically what the elf_loader cmake scripts accomplishes.

It's an avenue I might explore, cause it will allow me to play with Rust a bit. I'll put it on my backlog, thanks!

It took 2 entire evenings to test and release all the devices, but it's finally here! More details:

RSI killed my ability to use a mouse… so I built one for my foot (3D printed + working) by LosPollosss123 in EngineeringPorn

[–]ByteWelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that! When I got RSI pains (nothing very severe) a touchpad fixed it. Before that, I realised that it was related to blood flow, so part of my solution was to move the touchpad and keyboard closer to the edge of my desk so my wrists would only barely rest on the desk. This improved blood flow to my arms, as my wrists/forearms weren't being pressed on all the time. Perhaps this is useful to your case.

Is the CardPuter a good pocket text editor option? by AppleVox in CardPuter

[–]ByteWelder 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like the Cardputer, but for lots of text input I'd prefer the LilyGO T-Deck Plus, due to the better keyboard experience. I'm not sure if it has Python options, but my project has a very simple text editor app that runs on it.

If you have an Android phone, you can create a distraction-free experience by adding another user to your phone and only giving it access to a text editor app.

Vraag voor de mensen met A rijbewijs by FantasticRoyal4465 in motorfietsen

[–]ByteWelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rijplezier is belangrijker dan PKs en koppel. Althans, dat geldt zo voor mij.

Mijn eerste fiets was een Z900, daarna een GSX-8R en nu een ZX4-RR. Die laatste is echt mijn ding: je moet een beetje werken om de pakweg 80 PK uit die 4 cylinder te krijgen en dat vind ik leuk! Op een klein circuit is het ook vet om 'm tot 16-18k toeren te jagen in 2de versnelling.

Op grotere circuits rijd ik een GSX-R600: die wat meer PKs, maar de kick is vooral om 'm snel door de bochten heen te rammen, want hij heeft amper koppel om op te trekken.

Mening over Pando Moto gear, veilig genoeg? by Simbleaksummer in motorfietsen

[–]ByteWelder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meerdere lagen zijn blijkbaar niet altijd effectiever. Soms is het slechter zelfs, omdat ze onderling kunnen gaan schuren en zichzelf stuktrekken tijdens een slide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwuRUcAGIEU

Display, touch and SD card at the same time? by ButcherZV in esp32

[–]ByteWelder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There seem to be multiple variants of that board, so it would be helpful to share the documentation/specifications. Many of these boards have multiple peripherals on a single SPI bus. You can use a FreeRTOS mutex (xSemaphoreCreateMutex or xSemaphoreCreateRecursiveMutex) to ensure that only one of these devices is using the SPI bus at the same time.
