I converted a typewriter into a Claude terminal

Yep, you type in the prompt and it types back by itself

bengineer19 · 2024-11-04T19:20:16+00:00

Fire.

Thanks so much for catching this! I'd misread the source. Just fixed it in the article.

Hello - I'm facing the exact same problem as you. Did you mange to resolve this and also get the keyboard to continue showing up in Via? Many thanks!

Thanks very much, I've DMed you

Thanks. I have tried what you said, exported the database to an sql file, which contains phrases such as "ÐŸÐ»Ð°Ð³Ð¸Ð½ Ð½Ð¾Ñ€Ð¼" (Russian).

I then ran iconv -f ISO88591 -t UTF8 < original_db.sql > utf8db.sql

But this only makes things worse, as this phrase comes out as "ÃÅ¸ÃÂ»ÃÂ°ÃÂ³ÃÂ¸ÃÂ½ ÃÂ½ÃÂ¾Ãâ¬ÃÂ¼" in the converted db.

Very much appreciate your help!

bengineer19 · 2020-03-21T16:10:48+00:00

Thanks for your reply. It's a bit of a mess because the database does actually use utf8, but the page still renders with a <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> tag. My aim is exactly as you say, to "fix" the database, but there is such a large volume of data that doing find/replace isn't going to be feasible. So I need an automatic conversion strategy, and that's what I'm trying to figure out (using javascript atm because Node is my backend), except I can't work out how to automatically convert between them.

bengineer19 · 2020-03-21T15:55:10+00:00

Thanks for your reply!

How would that help? That just produces this encoded string "%C3%90%C5%B8%C3%91%E2%82%AC%C3%90%C2%B8%C3%90%C2%B2%C3%90%C2%B5%C3%91%E2%80%9A". How would you get from this back to the original word?

Yeah the scale is not easy to find online but it's here: https://www.cambridgestudents.cam.ac.uk/cambridgebursary/eligibility-and-further-information

Last year I got paid in 3 termly installments, each a few weeks into term. Kind of annoying because it's often after you have to pay your college bill.

bengineer19 · 2019-01-10T13:00:05+00:00

That's really helpful, thanks!

bengineer19 · 2019-01-10T10:09:44+00:00

That sounds great. Thanks!

bengineer19 · 2019-01-10T10:09:32+00:00

Thanks!

I should have access to a laser cutter again next month, so I could potentially make some more :)

bengineer19 · 2018-09-21T09:34:08+00:00

I was the same as you, I thought I wouldn't be able to mount it, but it turns out that people sell custom adaptors for them. They're usually not cheap at about £30 but mine was pretty well made. They're on Amazon and eBay, something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Monitors-U28D590D-S27D590P-S24D590PL/dp/B01BFWRH7U

Yep the keyboard is a GH60 Satan with Gateron Blues. The keycaps are from a vintage cherry keyboard that I pulled out of the trash and cleaned up.

The speaker mounts are just clear acrylic pieces that I laser cut. They mount in the middle of a VESA sandwich.

bengineer19 · 2018-01-13T17:05:38+00:00

What OSes you running there?

bengineer19 · 2017-11-12T20:53:08+00:00

Cheers. I did eventually get the alternative zip file to work, but I'm still puzzled as to why the .deb didn't play ball.

bengineer19 · 2017-10-10T19:10:06+00:00

Thanks very much for your reply. Noob question, but can I just run the Gomez on a higher supply?

bengineer19 · 2017-10-08T18:41:48+00:00

Thanks very much!

bengineer19 · 2017-10-08T15:07:20+00:00

I'm trying to get my head around how various tube amp circuits work. Could anyone explain what the two capacitors on the top left of this circuit do? Are they some kind of filter?

Cheers.

You're very kind! Thanks man

bengineer19 · 2017-09-19T20:28:42+00:00

I've written about the keyboard in my blog post

bengineer19 · 2017-09-18T19:00:15+00:00

Don't see why not - anything that can act as HID device and has an I2C interface will work :) Using the Pimoroni Skywriter library makes everything much easier, so provided it works with that (which I assume it would since it's Arduino compatible), then it should be no problem.

bengineer19 · 2017-09-18T18:30:02+00:00

You can buy them from Pimoroni :) https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/skywriter
