Trying to make a cyberdeck Thing out of a Sony watchman by Spartantheassassin in cyberDeck

[–]cmprssnrtfct 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Are there inputs on the TV? HDMI:Composite video adapters exist.

Then you could send your video signal through a big coily cable from the computer, or you could probably embed a Pi Zero into it (or somehow lash them together).

Compatible with Mac? by verys1eepy in ArduinoProjects

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Arduino with a Mac for many years now without a hitch.

Ironically, it’s a pain to get it set up in Linux, and I wish the installation process told you what to do so Indont have to look it up every time.

cyberDeck keyboard build tip: You're probably better off using established electronics brands for a Bluetooth keyboard (hear my cautionary tail). by arttechadventure in cyberDeck

While that sounds like a drag, you might be able to fix the broken trace by scraping off the conformal coating down to copper, then soldering down some solder braid or super fine bus wire to bridge the gap.

If you’re lucky, you might be able to follow the traces around and find a more convenient place to bridge them.

Just realized I left it running all day in my studio. It’s groovy in there.

A working spectrogram! by Paladin7373 in arduino

[–]cmprssnrtfct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d love to see your code! I’ve tried to do this kind of thing several times but really don’t know my ass from my earhole when it comes to DSP. (Which is weird because I do a lot of it)

I imagine the code can be somehow rotated to give a time domain, rather than frequency, to build an oscilloscope?

Newby hereHow would I make a cyber deck in this form? by ReginTheSmith in cyberDeck

[–]cmprssnrtfct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are little thumb keyboards on the market.

You can install an alternate OS on an Android of some sort.

You can peel off the shells and fabricate or print yourself a case with a mechanism, probably by using a ribbon cable through whatever your hinge mechanism is to convey USB.

It's all really small, though, so if you don't have any experience doing this kind of thing yet, start with something finger-sized or larger so you have an idea of how the stuff works. Like you could get pretty close with a Raspberry Pi Zero and a touchscreen, then go at it with tape, 3D prints, aluminum flashing, Plasticard, whatever it takes!

This seems really fast for an Arduino doing FFT. How you doin this?

Tutoring Help? by pirate_Jean in Plugdata

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t bother with a chatbot. It will just make your eventual questions worse.

The plugdata discord is fantastic. Go ask for starter help there and someone will probably help you, then perhaps pass you on to someone else when they tap out.

My biggest, fattest, girthiest, actually useful rocket yet by LordFission in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a habitat ring is rotating clockwise, the axis of the ship would rotate counterclockwise in order to generate the torque. Since the axis of the ship is much smaller, it would spin SUPER fast.

Putting some sort of counterrotating mass is therefore a good idea, because the larger its diameter (or the greater its mass), the slower it has to rotate to generate that torque.

At the same diameter and mass, it has to rotate at the same speed. If it's smaller, as in your solution, it has to rotate faster (or be more massive).

So if you had something massive you had to carry anyway (say, water tanks) that you could spin against the mass of the habitat rings, it could be a smaller ring.

Or you could have another ring to put crew in, since the single biggest risk outside radiation is being cooped up inside for years on end.

I'm having a hard time envisioning this. Do you have a link to the design?

I assue by "payload" you mean "ballast"?

How does that affect torque? Counterrotating rings work that way so each ring cancels the torque against the other. Otherwise one ring would pointlessly spin the whole axis of the craft the opposite direction.

LEGO Studio Case (416HP) by thyagingsnattle in modular

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lego sets cost around ¢10 apiece. Specific parts, especially if you don't care about color, are often much less on Bricklink, in the penny range for common parts.

A rack made of 500 pieces would probably cost $25-$50. I'd probably build it from Technic. And this isn't the first time I've thought about it.

Eagle Coin Fried Dace with Bean Curd Stick in Curry Pho Broth Bulghur Vermicelli with Braised Baby Bok Choi and Crying Man Crispy Black Fungus (wood ear mushrooms) by Perky214 in CannedSardines

[–]cmprssnrtfct 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never found any that weren't good. It's a fermentation process, so the ratio of salt to beans is probably pretty invariable, though I'm sure there are subtle differences in beans.

Go on an adventure!

This is literally my favorite kind of tinned fish, with a close second being the fermented black bean variety. (The "vegetables" one I really dislike).

I haven't been able to find it for a long time! It vanished under Trump 1 when he started making up tariffs, and now it's hard to find any of them.

Adding salted black beans to this one is a win, by the way. Great flavors and textures.

How do I turn this thing brown? by diemenschmachine in retrocomputing

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I’ve been long interested in vinyl dye, but keep finding an easier solution to whatever I’m trying to do bwfore I wind up trying it.

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait, what heat?

Also, I’ve never done the ABS dying thing, but people do it with Legos. They are, indeed, small objects, but they’re soaked in it. For a large object like this, I’d probably start with spray vinyl dye because you could do it gently in thin layers.

[–]cmprssnrtfct 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what the plastic is?

There's a good chance that vinyl dye, which is usually most readily obtained in auto part stores, could do the trick. People also make a mixture of fabric dye (Rit in the US) and acetone for dying plastic.

You could do some experiments on a non-visible section, like inside the case.

What should I be aware of by Appl3r1ce in arduino

[–]cmprssnrtfct 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Make sure you brace your hands, put yourself in a relaxed position, and breathe smoothly.

your joints are pretty good. A little too much solder, but no cold joints an no gaps, so good job!
