[Bas BotBerg] wanted to use a portable Bluetooth thermal printer to run off reports on sensor data collected by an ESP32-C3 microcontroller. But as is so often the case these …read more

Being able to monitor voltages and currents is essential for many applications, with the national electrical grid being no exception. The obvious complication here is that the voltages and currents …read more

There are many uninterruptible power supply (UPS) solutions for the Raspberry Pi that take the form of HATs with a battery on board, but they’re not suitable for every situation. …read more

With VHDL being arguably more deterministic and bullet-proof than Verilog, it’s good to see another open source VHDL simulator joining the fray that is not a variation of ghdl. Written …read more

From the GitHub release page: This is CircuitPython 10.3.1, a bugfix revision of CircuitPython, and is a new stable release. Highlights of changes since 10.3.0 Allow importing turbo (@viper and @native) .mpy files on RP2xxx boards. More to come. Espressif ESP32-C5 support. Espressif and nordic BLE fixes that improve BLE workflow. Many other bug fixes. […]

A new project called zSST is a SystemVerilog implementation of the 3dfx Voodoo Graphics chipset, the SST-1. Paired with the z486 soft CPU and the rest of a PC’s hardware, it forms z486 XL: a DOS machine with Voodoo graphics running entirely in the programmable logic of a Xilinx KV260 board. Tomb Raider runs on […]

Marko Štamcar, writing for the Računalniški muzej in Ljubljana, traced the origins of the plastic case used by the Iskra Delta Partner, the most successful Slovenian microcomputer. The 1983 Partner was built around the Zilog Z80 family and CP/M 2.2, with boards made to order in Italy, enclosures made in England, and assembly and BIOS […]

Kenton Varda documented the LAN party house he and Jade Wang built in Austin, Texas, at lanparty.house. The basement game room has 12 PCs built into the walls that fold away when not in use. A conference table in the office opens to reveal six more stations. Twenty identical game machines live in a separate […]

Ken Shirriff has published another look inside Intel’s 8087 floating-point coprocessor on righto.com, this time tracing the microcode behind a single instruction: FSCALE. He is working with the Opcode Collective, a group reverse engineering the chip’s microcode ROM, which holds 1648 micro-instructions. FSCALE multiplies a number by a power of two by adding to its […]
