turns out the carriage starts at an offset of 60 steps, so when i was scaling data to a full page width of 960 steps everything was offcenter to the right. i've corrected this in pypenwriter and made it not issue redundant moves to minimise penup/pendown noise

(this picture being offcenter is just due to the scale not matching the paper)

silly me for expecting quality control on a 300 gbp piece of professional equipment

my oscilloscope stopped working inexplicably today showing no signs of life whatsoever

i decided to ignore the "no operator serviceable parts inside" warning and went to look over the power supply board

the AC in header was not at all soldered to the board. i have no idea how this scope worked for years until now

i wanted a more permanent solution to the true RS232 to USB adapter my panasonic RK-P400C typewriter plotter needed so i shoved everything as best as i could into a DB25 shell

ok here's my proof of work. stealth modchip installed in PS1 that isn't one of the any motherboards that's properly documented (that i've found). the modchip is custom burnt on an attiny

i made this a while ago following a fairly specific conversation/mocking of what a metaverse is. i'm still proud of it
