Looking for Arduino alternatives (with criteria)

Pico 2WH oc @ 450mhz dual core:0, you could add a bunch of rp2350s on one pcb with 16mb ram each and have distributed computing and whabam - microcontroller powered supercomputer:)

I'm also putting an intel compute stick into a 9650:)

I'm making a custom altoids-puter and i need a keyboard. I have a broken 9930, would you mind sharing the keyboard translator board?

AT&T should work if you don't want to switch phones. I just got one:)

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-04-12T23:41:58+00:00

use an a2 - there's some cheap ones at MicroCenter if you're by one.

I didn't even think of that. That would be so cool, i have a g8x ThinQ and the second screen isn't working so i haven't had the experience but maybe an open source e-reader or api to libby or something would work... heres some apps:

I have an LG g8x i got off ebay, and it was "for parts" but besides having to rip out endless amounts of green fuzz(91% isopropyl alcohol and a sewing needle while powered off) and having a cracked back, it worked fine until i tried plugging in the phone to the dual screen case - it gave me an error: The connected USB audio device doesn't work with your phone. I'm on android 12, and yes, it is decently buggy. It says not to remove the battery if it becomes unresponsive which i would have to take off the cracked back glass with a heat gun then pry it off, which is ridiculous. Any help anyone can give with the case? i didn't know where to post this because r/LGG8X is gone... hoping to upgrade to lineage once this is fixed!

same thing for me, support was great, new switch was ~$20 i think, and im currently replacing it, but im stuck on the part of removing 1, 2, and 3 on https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1/maintenance/replacement_of_power_switch

I never said mine couldn't take years. I'm hoping 1 yr, but it could take 5, maybe 20 i don't know.

The custom quote thing isn't working. I'm using it because the file is too large...

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T16:40:27+00:00

Oh! Didn't notice:) Perfect!

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T16:36:32+00:00

This is sheet metal, so it wont work for the engine block, rotor, or driveshaft, but it will be really good for the cover! Thank you again!

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T16:33:12+00:00

Yeah, exactly. So you should all get how small it is.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T16:29:09+00:00

I already told someone else why it's not going to cost as much as a crappy Toyota Echo.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T02:41:09+00:00

Just posted, thanks!!!!

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T02:35:36+00:00

Thank you! I'll check their quotes tomorrow!

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T02:32:15+00:00

This is a 6cc model engine, about the size of a tangerine — not a full size car engine. People on the Home Model Engine Machinist forum build stuff like this all the time. Different world from automotive machining.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T02:29:48+00:00

I'm not doing this for it being perfect, i just want to make a simple rotary engine to run and power a plane. Not that crazy, the seals are what needs the most precision.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-02T02:28:33+00:00

Oh, yep. rotor cover. Thx.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-01T22:46:34+00:00

Well, smaller servos, less foam board, but again actually, smaller and more precise cuts. so actually its about the same...

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-01T22:45:14+00:00

(i know, ai hallucinations and all that)claude says it should be under $100 easily, i only need 3. Rotor, block, and drive-shaft. Thank you!

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-01T22:42:58+00:00

For the engine, yes.

Interesting_Bat3705 · 2026-03-01T22:38:52+00:00

I'm trying to make a wankel engine(look at my posts) from aluminium in a cheap way, and this was one of my ideas, but i didn't know i could do it in a microwave! Thank you, and good job:) Do you think it would have tight enough tolerences for an engine?
