pretty diy but progress on my little raspberry pi + power supply enclosure bonus - my little hinge stand that my phone goes on, will have another little hinge for the spi display

after listening to entire yks backlog, I made the deal with myself that I could subscribe to the patreon if I also restarted therapy. therapist messaged, patreon subscribed!

Overnight to LA for some exciting XR dev stuff, but also keen to catch up if anyone’s doing any cool electronics - I bought my soldering iron!

I have reached peak computer

So yesterday my 8 month year old son pointed at my VR headset and said something like ‘wa da’ (or we think that’s his ‘huh’ noise, who knows) and I had to say ‘well, son, these are VR goggles, and inside them, well … you won’t believe it … its another computer’

I’ll be in LA next month 11-15th feb, heading to Android XR boot camp. If anyone in the area wants to catch up to chat xr, ai or electronics I’d be keen!

It’s Alive

Cool little battery charger bypassing battery IC, getting charge from 5v but with a little buck step down to 3.7, and monitoring with multimeter with a little double adapter, helping me bring a lithium battery back to health. Can then short the negative of battery and controller to reactivate

Android XR first glances :

Resoldering some switches and trying out new ck tweezers and pcb epoxy - love it

Software Ad: Using the power of AI you can talk to your pdfs instead of reading them Pdf: I don’t want to be a pdf. I wish I was human. I want to feel sunlight on my skin

Had a bit of a brain wave for my little diy keyboard base, pivot on inside bottom cnr of case to outside bottom of base, gives me an arc to open up to split and fold away to butterfly.

My grandma and grandpa passed away a while ago now (grandpa 20yrs ago grandma 2yrs ago) One thing of theirs I requested was these lamps - they had matching chairs where they’d do crosswords and read the paper, so each lamp sat at the angle of their attention.

I'd like you to meet Nova : http://samueltate.com/nova Nova can be your personal AI assistant, story teller and creative partner. I'm a solo dev (aside from Nova) but think we've made something special. We've included $10 credit, and we'd love to see you.
