well that's roughly 3 hours, i'm impressed!

tlp reports an issue on the X61t because i think battery protection kicks in before it reaches proper 0% but it's still a full run anyway

and this one has the proper shape for an X61t extended battery, meaning tabby will no longer wobble uneven on a desk! 🎉​

bought a new battery for tabby, our X61t ThinkPad

at first was worried it was bad because the battery light was flashing and then flickering, and the OS reported charging but no actual charge estimate and voltage was around 10V, but a few hours plugged and turned off seems to have brought it up to 100% (i'd have expected longer but got impatient)

doing a tlp recalibrate now and i'll believe "3 hours remaining" when i see it but if the readings are accurate, the trend so far looks good!

thank you @chaseahrens for commissioning me for a portrait!

found an ebay seller with these ones which have TTL, RS485 and RS232 which is wonderful, but it's a whole 10 pounds 😬

Show thread

is there a single small board like these that has both an FT232 and a MAX232 together to convert USB to true RS232 serial, not TTL?

does anyone have any remaining software/peripherals for the original Valiant Roamer LOGO turtles? Valiant themselves, being mostly direct suppliers to schools and not individuals, haven't been too helpful. we have one, but not the pen attachment, or the serial cable, and i'd like to put it to better use :boost_ok:
