Serial port update:
Digging though this data getting ready for the talk (trying to remember where I found bits of info) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q4WfAm9hfiWDh2Sg83zuOpm4JLTHXcnF/view?usp=sharing
There is a subdirectory for the "Serial Adapter Schematics" which has all the info to build one and some sample code that I assume is a test program for it. Looks like they put the polyface into a IO mode then drive a parallel load UART chip to generate serial. If I had to guess I bet there is not support for that in the BIOS to load code into ram. But could be wrong someone with more skill than I would have to do some digging. If the support is there should be possible to emulate it.
Yes, that's were I saw the green hill stub.
The dev's used the green hill debugger to upload... but I'm pretty sure it would work for uploading if they built units, I'm assuming it was for browsing the internet though?

I'm not sure if the schematics is from that device or not, but whoever has that device, please take some high resolution photos! :D

    They are pretty similar, but this one is much less involved than a real CNC. A lot less moving parts

    Happy Monday!

    I've been really into this
  • Varine Varine:
    It's a musical retelling of The Odyssey
  • Varine Varine:
    Also if you want mixed drinks without alcohol, there's a handful of non-alcoholic 'spirits'. Ritual Zero and Free Spirit are the two brands I've tried and they are alright. They don't have a TON of options, but they have some gin and whiskey alternatives that are fun to play with.
  • Varine Varine:
    I got a couple bottles to make some mixy drinks around holidays when I mostly want to drink, they aren't exact replacements but they are surprisingly close.
  • Varine Varine:
    I ended up with some hop water things that I really like instead for when I want to feel like I'm participating
  • Varine Varine:
    I just got moved to unsupervised probation, so I can get away with drinking a bit now. I technically am not supposed to, but I don't think I get checked anymore. I really want to smoke weed but it scares me
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Happy Wednesday! I am not feeling it today, my teeth are bothering me, or the fragments that were left behind are coming up and it is extra painful today. Don't ever let them tell you that getting full dental implants is easy. They have to pull all your teeth to do those and apparently they are not very good at getting all the teeth out all the time.

    That is true with Dentures too. I am taking the day off and working from home. The big difference is though, I am not drinking anymore so I have a nice tea and coffee regimen set up :)
  • Varine Varine:
    I wish i had a 3D scanner
  • Varine Varine:
    That would make what I'm doing SO much easier
  • Varine Varine:
    I guess I could just take a picture of it and then use that as a reference. I have a circuit board with some weird holes I can't get measured right
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh I got a Klipper mod for my big printer! It comes with a bunch of parts and I don't totally understand what it does but apparently it's way better than Marlin, which is I think what it currently runs

    Nice!
  • Varine Varine:
    You're people in Florida safe? The only couple I know are safe but I think they evacuated.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    They are without power but safe. Flood damage and stuff alot of tornados hit east Florida. No fatalities or injuries to any of my people that I know of
  • The Helper The Helper:
    They have been through all the Florida hurricanes they are like me I have been through every texas hurricane for the last 50 years.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Never evacuated.
