A method of reading analog inputs from digital pins using on the . I like this!

The only thing that I'm not 100% sure about is whether I can slow charging by putting an extra resistor in so that instead of using a 1uf capactor (that I don't have) I can use a 22nf capacitor.

Today I have discovered , an ISA soundcard for DOS PCs powered by a Raspberry Pi Pico. The amount of hardware hacking going on these days is incredible. Microcontrollers were a great idea.

After soldering a bunch to boards and sticking them in a box I've somehow ended up with switch bits. I haven't even pushed it yet 🙄

PicoLoop8 is my latest probably crazy dev board 😀 .

They're UART linked by UART0 on PicoN to UART1 on PicoN+1.

I've also connected 8 consecutive GPIO (GP2-9 on PicoN to GP12-19 on PicoN+1) which I'm hoping to use for parallel PIO communication with GP10/11 on PicoN connected to GP2/27 on PicoN+1 for additional signalling.

The loop is completed either by the link PCB shown in the picture or by using another PicoLoop8 on top those who want 16 (or more 😉 ) Pico 🥳 .

IT LIVES!

Please welcome to the world the , a USB SSD Drive using a .

This works with the SSDs that were used with the SIBO range of computers, including the Series 3 and MC400.

This prototype can only be used to dump SSDs, but future versions of the firmware will let you write to RAM SSDs, and future versions of the board will let you write to Flash SSDs.

I made a WiFi pineaple “Free WiFi” to greet the user with a ‘Hello, World!’ with a . Would be funny to go in town with that hooked to a power bank to make some pranks.

I have finished code for my based 433Mhz weather receiver box and integrated it with .

I have published the code and hardware description on GitHub: github.com/Jajcus/rpp_433mhz_w

It was a fun project. It is working mostly as expected, but I am not happy with the range (the cheap receiver module is not very good, it seems) – not very useful for me right now. Maybe an external antenna will help a bit.

Meanwhile, I wrote a small blog post on the procedure of running the Blink example on module; not new information, but it was a pleasure to write something technical.

It's been a while since I last soldered something. Today, I was soldering headers to a and screwed it up. The two header pads are not well aligned, and so, I can't fix the thing to a breadboard due to the mismatch of the gaps.
But that's okay. There are days like this.

I have built a simple box to receive temperature and humidity data from external sensor of a cheap 'weather station'.

Made of and a cheap 433MHz receiver ('RXB6').

Code that decodes the signal and sends it over USB is written in

The goal is to get the external weather data into my

This should be good as my light sensor for the solar Tracker.
