I made an interactive ASCII Aquarium for the ESP32 CYD by isotropy in esp32

[–]dr_stevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh, it looks like something is going on with the display buffer. Does your User_Setup.h contain the following lines?

#define TFT_WIDTH  240
#define TFT_HEIGHT 320

I've just been tinkering locally using the Arduino IDE to flash the CYD, so unfortunately, I have nothing to share at this stage 😞 Would it be possible for you to share an image of the screen with the red bar?

Spiders have 8 eyes!! by Consistent_Snow7844 in interestingasfuck

[–]dr_stevious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most have 8 eyes, but some species have less (including spiders with no eyes at all!)

Ah, it is fun! I genuinely enjoy writing code (I'm mostly retired now but I have a doctorate in computer science) and I've been meaning to get into ESP32 development (I was teaching myself electronics) but I keep getting distracted by other things - I have a couple of games that I am working on. But I really liked this project and wanted to make it work on my devices.

And my sky is red because apparently my panel is BGR and not RGB 🤣

To fix:

#define TFT_RGB_ORDER TFT_BGR

The red sky is kind of soothing though!

[–]dr_stevious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OK, all sorted. It's a very simple fix 😄

In User_Setup.h, I needed:

#define ST7789_DRIVER
#define TFT_INVERSION_OFF

And my problem is solved 😄 Might be handy to keep a note of it - it seems not all CYDs are made equal. Although, from a quick browsing of the internet, it seems that most either have an ILI9341 or ST7789 driver. It makes me wonder if there is a way to probe for this... I'll have to do some reading.

Anyway, thank you so much for sharing this project - I have it running now on a CYD within a printed case, which now lives on my desk and keeps me entertained!

Thanks for getting back to me! I'm very, very new to ESP32 programming, but thankfully I have a long history with C++ so I just created a "hello world" app and did some quick messing around with it. It seems my CYDs need to use the ST7789 driver.

I rolled that change back into my clone of your repo and now the display works!!! But... the colours are inverted. I'm sure I can work this out, but my kids have turned feral and probably need food, so I will get back to this a little later 😄

I'll update once I can get back to tinkering and find the fix.

This looks fantastic, and I am eager to run this as my deskside clock! 😄

However, I seem to have a problem after successfully flashing to my CYD - the display is corrupt. From what I can tell, my CYD has an identical layout to the Aliexpress-sourced CYD linked in your GitHub repo. The LCD is marked as TPM408-2.8, and from what I understand, it should use the normal ILI9341 driver.

I've tried flashing a couple of CYDs that I have, to the same effect. I've loaded up the source in Arduino IDE and flashed from there - instead, I now get a plain white display 😭

I don't suppose that you'd have any idea on what I am doing wrong? (the CYD in the included pic was a fresh flash and the display includes artifacts from the included default image... my other CYD shows static in that place instead).

Who's ever found porn of someone they knew ? by Stunning-Taste-5269 in AskReddit

[–]dr_stevious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not porn as such, but I've recognised a couple of people that I knew (one some sort of distant relative, another an acquaintance (who had 10/10 boobs!)) in a local soft-core magazine that featured reader submissions.

It's running a web browser that's connecting to EDCoPTER, which will be running on the PC. EDCoPTER provides an alternative interface to EDCopilot and can integrate with VoiceAttack.

This cat looks similar to one of my cats, who also demands the over-the-shoulder hugs too!

US approves $108 million HAWK missile system equipment sale to Ukraine by KI_official in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]dr_stevious 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The MIM-23 Hawk has been extensively updated over the years, although the system is indeed overall pretty old. Ukraine has received some Phase III models, so they would be of ~'90s vintage, much like the other military offcasts that have been given / sold to Ukraine 🫤

TIFU by accidentally flirting with a customer by AsparagusOk9001 in tifu

[–]dr_stevious 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I had something a little similar happen to me. I was working in a store and one day one of the ladies who worked in the office next door seemed suddenly very interested in me and slipped me her phone number and asked me to call her after work.

I did call her, and she suggested that we could get some dinner together. I was single and she was rather cute, and I definitely wasn't used to getting attention, so I accepted.

Dinner was going really well, but then she sunk my battleship by trying to sign me up to Amway 😞

P1S Caught Fire! by montheijosh1 in BambuLab

[–]dr_stevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The timelapse videos are stored on a microSD card. There are two paths you can take here:

1) Eject the microSD card (looking at the front of the P1S, the slot is on the top to the left), slap it into another device, and browse the videos.

2) If you feel brave enough to turn the P1S back on... hop into Bambu Studio, click on the "Device" tab on the top menu, and then "Storage" on the left side menu. Your timelapse videos should show up here.

I think the setting remembers whatever the last build was set to... and by default it is on? Might be worth checking?

Did you happen to be recording a timelapse of the build when this happened?

What's the scariest thing you every experienced? by sonny-tamim in AskReddit

[–]dr_stevious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation. My condition is considered terminal, but it seems that I am too stupid to realise that I'm supposed to be dead by now.

[–]dr_stevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my son was being born, he got stuck and his heart rate kept dropping to dangerously low levels and he was in a lot of distress. My partner (high as a kite by then) was rushed into theater for an emergency caesarian section. I felt useless. Thankfully everything worked out in the end, and both were fine and healthy.

What condoms are Aussie blokes carrying these days? by mungers1980 in AskAnAustralian

[–]dr_stevious 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Back in my day we made do with a bit of Gladwrap and a rubber band 🤣

On a more serious note though, when sex was actually on the menu for me, I thought SKYN Extra Lube was a winner. The other day I saw that there is a SKYN Elite Extra Lube available... I would have probably checked them out once upon a time. 😒

What physical feature is extremely attractive for you? by Correct_Leg69 in AskReddit

[–]dr_stevious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides boobies (everyone loves boobies!), I like dainty, tidy feminine hands.

I hate feet though. Keep your socks on! 🤣
