...i measure against EMI_GND instead
i tried briefly sounding off with the continuity meter to tell where this diode goes but i couldn't find anything. i'm happy to take higher resolution pictures and answer questions, unfortunately the daughtercard where this diode is does not have its schematics released unlike the main computer board and there aren't many people left active in the chumby forum
#electronics #chumby #reverseengineeing can anyone help me figure out what diode might've been here? another one in the same board with the same footprint reads 3U and in a pinch i could take apart another working chumby but because it involves peeling off glue i would rather not (and i don't think looking at that one would tell me anything)
i believe this diode is keeping the chumby from powering as without it RAW_PWR and GND on the chumbilical read 0V although i can see the input 12V if...
@grote remember, kids: "sideloading" is just "installing software that isn't on the app store." the corpos are just calling it "sideloading" because it sounds shadier.

i use the Ditherinator very often, tysm for making it <3 — i'm glad!! i love seeing pictures people make with it! https://alterspring.org/@maple/a/116247221258444826
i have automatic test deployment set up from pressing F5 in #flashdevelop to seeing my widget running on my #chumby
this involves FTPing the output SWF to my server and then making the chumby play that file from the internet. no USB drives needed!
I said it before, and I'll say it again: These cheap mid-90s, late 486 systems are like cockroaches - disgusting, but will survive just about anything, including a nuclear apocalypse.
This one was first used as some desktop machine in a library. When that life ended, it ran 12 years 24/7 as my first Linux server, until the HDD died. Then the next 15 years it rot in corners of various basements. Almost got thrown away several times.
And it lives. 1995 World Domination. 😅
Despite making major headway on my debts (no more credit card!), I do still have a student loan to pay, and this month's payment is due in two days. And I... haven't earned any money this month. It looks like I will need about $75. Grateful for help/shares. 🙇♂️ #MutualAid
