@fribbledom Dell has some amazing new 4K displays but I’m still using 3 ancient Dell 2.5k that have a 30-bit-per-pixel mode, working solidly for years

@porsupah @fribbledom @cinnamonvector@snouts.online I print a lot of enclosures for electronics projects, phone mounts and other useful things I’ll design as needed in OpenSCAD. I keep two tiny Micro3D printers in a bag that sometimes bring with me places where I might need to make a part on the go.

@porsupah Yup, full gcc toolchain is on github. It’s RISC-V and there’s some good infos online. Component itself costs $5 and is self contained so expect sub-$10 boards to eventually appear. Paid $20 for this one with LCD display & OmniVision camera sensor included.

This little computer board arrived. It contains a dual-core RISC-V core, audio processor for 8-channel audio beamforming, a neural net accelerator which can do 60FPS image recognition, an FPU and some other neat stuff. It runs MicroPython so just plug in to any computer and play.

Failed 3D print but i think I’ll just put a doll’s Santa Hat on him.

@porsupah There’s a few small places and one place called i think Excess Electronics that is unbelievably meticulous and seems to be about the size of two Fry’s, despite being the only one there for 2 hours.

@porsupah DMX, RS232, RS422, Analog are supported. i have a rackmount DMX control unit but need some cables which ive ordered.

@porsupah nearly bought an hp spectroscopy machine at weirdstuff for $50 but now you can buy sensors that can sense specific wavelengths from adafruit for $25

So I have 20 motorized halogen stage lights formerly part of Pebble Beach Pro-AM when they replaced them with Clay Paky ZCL-360i with nifty full RGB LEDs and ethernet. Now to just figure what to do with them.
