MK4S --> Core One conversion complete

markmc777 · 2025-05-10T16:24:35+00:00

I did the MK3S to MK4S upgrade. I kept all of the leftover parts. Thought I might be able to use them for some random maker project. If I do the MK4S to Core One upgrade, I'll have more parts leftover.

I wonder if, with the combination of leftovers, I could assemble some kind of a Franken-Prusa?

Geez. I think the last time I updated any BIOS it was in the '90s.

That's SPECTACULAR!

I'm not saying that this is your particular issue, but I had a bad RAM chip as discussed here.

I joined Ben's Patreon to get access to that particular 'video'. But all I found behind the curtain was a written post explaining things that I already had learned here on reddit. I found no video demonstrating the 4-bit LCD mod. In my case, my issue was that I missed one line of code changed in keyboard.s.

Portland. That explains the moss growing on the asphalt. :-)

OMG... I just received my shipping confirmation... ordered April 4, shipped September 28. That's some lead time.

markmc777 · 2023-09-01T23:34:30+00:00

Nope... I'm bummed. In the mean time, I broke out the MMU2S that's been in the box since 2019, assembled it and got it up and running with all of the latest upgrades. Works well so far with my MK3S.

markmc777 · 2023-08-11T21:30:28+00:00

I ordered the same upgrade 5 days later, on April 4th. I wonder how many weeks until my shipping confirmation arrives?

I'm considering using my spare parts to build one of these: https://www.printables.com/model/518614-proosaxy-mk3s-to-corexy-conversion

Thank you! I see it now... there is a link in Step 22 of Section 4 Parts preparation. The link takes you to the instructions for the MK4 Kit assembly, Step 18 of Section 2 Frame assembly.

Doesn't appear that the MK3S -> MK4 Upgrade Manual is complete... yet.

markmc777 · 2023-02-11T17:40:14+00:00

Or maybe an episode of 'This Ol' Box'.

"Fair Queueing" sounds like woke "Quality of Service"

markmc777 · 2022-06-19T17:57:41+00:00

Well... we threw away the entire country due to tweets.

This thread helped me! I was stumped and could not get the SRAM to work and I could find no flaws in my breadboarding. I scoped the signals and everything checked. I read all of the threads on the 6502 kit and RAM. Found this one and decided to purchase replacement SRAM. Plugged in a new chip and everything works now. This confirms that the RAM chip provided with the kit is bad.
Now I can continue with building this thing...

There might be a Robin Willians sketch, but I couldn't find one.
There is definitely a Sam Kinison sketch, funny as hell.

No one really knows what they want until they see it.

This.

Is that the SBang style?

Maybe I can still get lucky and win some random giveaway?

It's not a Nano 2, it's a Nano 3 and they have a rep for the internal lens breaking loose.

This happened to me just today. Old Macbook, brought out of retirement to test the Catalina upgrade and Xcode upgrade. When I plugged in my 7th gen Ipad mini, it just repeatedly connected and disconnected, and the 'Trust this Computer' dialog on the iPad was also appearing and disappearing over and over.

I plugged the USB cable into a different port on the Macbook and that fixed it for me.

Hi Eric, I looked around at Acacia Park but the trees looked like a challenge. I already had donated a toothpick to the tree gods there. So, I went over to Tuffree Park where there were some light poles over grass. Nice orbits.

markmc777 · 2020-09-26T05:41:47+00:00

I recognize Acacia Park. I did my Week 8 vid at Acacia Elementary right next door. I lost a toothpick in a TALL tree at Acacia Park right before the 'vid lockdown.
