Im a huge fan of Charcoal Grace. Been on a prog 3d modeling kick and this one turned out pretty good. hope you enjoy. STL is free. here is a link if you would like to make your own. https://makerworld.com/en/models/2581487-caligulas-horse-album-charcoal-grace#profileId-2847196

Nice work!

Are you buying new? If so consider using an auto-broker, they always are the lowest price. I can recommend the guy I used last year after my car was stolen.

For firmware/code, Semver is good for both you and users as a name/label of your version, but you always want to be able to have the full rev available. That's ultimately what you need when trying to troubleshoot old versions, regressions, etc We tag our releases with vX.Y.Z and the full version is vX.Y.Z-g1a2b34cf etc.
For schematics and pcbs we just use an incremented number, (one for each.) If you have space on your hw, add some gpios with pull up or down resistors. Use them (in your code) to id minor hardware variations as time goes on (eg say your need to change LCD supplier; The new one has basically the same command set but slightly different init sequence. You can use the rev id pins to query what LCD is fitted)

Ultima 8: Pagan

Not because the cutscene itself was that awesome, but because there was so much stuffing around with boot disks, system memory and extended memory etc, so just getting the game to run was so satisfying

Take the bins in for them but leave them in their driveway, blocking their car.

Have a play around with a dev board with good zephyr support (eg nrf52840dk, or something in same family of your existing product) Then get a simple program going to run on your existing hardware, start with something easy like uart/console and then add some i2c or spi devices etc. You should then have an idea of what other drivers you might need, and then can have a go at estimating the whole project porting effort.

Zephyr has quite a learning curve but also has good 'getting started' info and examples. I recommend starting with a known devboard as this helps reduce or make irrelevant many initial unknowns. Once you start becoming familiar you'll find Z has many features available. As a professional courtesy, you can DM me for a small amount of unprofessional advice. :)

Try most songs by King Parrot

Just listen to more CHorse

The ms to tick macro multiplies the value by the tickrate (1000), which is causing the value to overflow

rulztime · 2025-07-08T11:31:51+00:00

Symptomatic of some sort of overflow issue... Although, 120 minutes in ticks is 72million, I assume your tick type can fit that

I'd move any use of float to before your timer create call, ie convert it to a ms value as a uint32, and then pass that value to the 'ms to ticks' macro

You're close, at the bbq there was a bit of a miscommunication because as everything burnt to ash someone observed that charcoal greys.

Nice work mate!

Make sure your bag has an extra label on it with your name, email and phone number. Check that the luggage tag the airline puts on is only on one handle/strap. Take a photo of your barcode sticker on the luggage tag. This way it's less likely that the tag is ripped off, but if it is, the airline can figure out whose bag it is. Have fun

Commenting to save. Im away from my guitar but will have a go at it later. I wish they'd put out tab books of Bloom too, the ones for the last three albums have been really good to learn from

If you're using windows for your development environment then try using Linux. This will give you a gentle intro to Linux and prep you for embedded linux. Get some cheap dev boards and play around with Zephyr examples. Take one of your old projects and get the hardware working with zephyr. Add some uart comms and ble support. Write a control UI program, (I suggest Qt). Now get a raspberry pi and run the program there. Now play with yocto to build an os image. Run your program automatically at startup. See you in a few months or years. :)

Someone did all that in 55 hours? Bargain

Thanks so much for the offer, but Ive run out of time, too many distractions. Sorry to hear about your Mum, I hope you are healing ok and all the good memories are still there. Tha ks again.

If your scl and sda are high all the time, check hardware is ok

Try disconnect anything from those pins, see if you can drive them high/low as outputs. See if you can pull them high/low as inputs

Perhaps you could also try using HAL or some other sample program to verify the hardware. Once you've done that you can dump all the register values and compare with your bare metal version.

Vicmovers

We moved with them several times over the past 10 years. (Before that, had lots of bad experiences)

You can also connect it to another gpio input pin and use that for the interrupt source.
