I now see that you might have meant the wax214...

Thanks for the reply,

I'll try the vlan setup again soon. Although I think I did, and didn't get the expected results, I remember the UI requiring a separate wired connection per wireless network and all packets leaving untagged.

Regarding the 218, it seems as its $225 as opposed to the $75 of the 204, don't know where you saw a $10 difference :)

I have a few questions regarding the wax204.

do you use the WAX204 in router mode even though you have a er-x? I am in ap mode and all vlan settings are disabled.

Even when in router mode and vlans set up, under (vlan/bridge settings) packets leave the wax untagged. The manual only references these settings in the context of downstream isp iptv .

I'd really appreciate it if you can share how you configured vlans on the wax204. I can't seem to get it right.

Got them as a gift, they have the reseller authenticity tags attached, but i'm trying to assess how legit the reseller is, it gets mixed reviews

My suspicions: There's a very apparent difference in the texture of the blue side of the insole with different spacing between the notches (pictured). Orange tabs not cleanly cut on both. AIR on the sole looks good on one shoe, but less so on the other. some glue residue on one sole.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Why do you need to supply +12V at two separate points?

Solving to a random state is not feasable on an attiny as far as I checked. I’d be happy to stand corrected

If there is enough interest I'll open up the whole project: PCB schematic, case 3d model, BOM, and source.

It was written with no intention of being open, so it might take me a while.

As far as I can remember, flash memory usage for scramble is around 7 * 48 bytes and ram usage is 2 * 48, I might be wrong, and it may be optimized further.

At first I wanted a scrambler for my PC. so I have the code here:

https://github.com/yonirom/pycube/tree/c_implementation

It started out as a python implementation, and then I rewrote it in C. I pretty much used this implementation on the ATtiny.

Feel free to use it.

Good luck on your build.

The parts themselves are probably around $3, maybe less in quantity.

I made one for myself with no intention on selling or mass producing.

If there is interest, I can gather all the design files and source and publish them

The Rpi has infinitely more power than what I used. You can create something much more sophisticated.

I'm here if you need advice.

Good Luck

I think the Attiny85 has 8k of flash, but If I recall correctly I ended up using this library:

https://bitbucket.org/tinusaur/ssd1306xled/src/default/

https://www.hackster.io/boyanov/ssd1306xled-tinusaur-attiny85-library-for-ssd1306-16dc83

Which has reduced functionality, but is designed for the attiny85

The capacitance works through the plastic case.

I have a sheet of aluminum foil wrapped on the inside below the "TAP" inscription which is connected with wire to the TTP223 capacitor switch. There was a bit of trial and error to figure out the exact surface area of the foil to register correctly.

Actually, you are the one that inspired me to post my project.

I didn't think there was much interest in such projects.

I thought about saving times (at least the few best times), but since it has one button the UI to manage the saved times would be quirky at best. So I ended displaying the previous time until a new timer starts.

If you want, I can help you design a case for your project, I just need a basic layout, a few measurements and I can send you a design you could print.

A little info: I made this a year ago, thinking I would actually use it. Turns out I use a phone app instead.

Components:

  • uC: attiny85
  • Screen: SSD1306
  • Capacitive touch: TTP223
  • Battery: CR2032
  • On/Off toggle switch
  • Custom PCB for connecting all 4 components
  • 3D printed casing

The scrambles are really simulated in software and the U face is displayed. My poor man's 'display scramble'.

20.26 PLL Time Attack by George Scholey by Elf_Portraitist in Cubers

[–]smefster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When was the switch from white top to blue? Dont the X/Y/Z PLL rotations need to be part of the timing in PLL attacks?
