Ep 276: A Mac on a Pico, Ropes on the Test Stand, A Battleship up on Blocks
The week gone by was rich with fun hacks, and Elliot and Dan teamed up this time around to run them down for everyone. The focus this week seemed to trend to old hardware, from the recently revived Voyager 1 to a 1940s car radio, a homebrew instrument from 1979, a paper tape reader, and a 128k Mac emulator built from an RP2040.
Newer hacks include a 3D-printed bottle labeler, a very hackable smart ring, and lessons learned about programming robots. We also took a look at turning old cell phones into Linux machines, making sure climbing ropes don't let you down, and snooping on orbital junk with a cool new satellite.
We wrapped things up with a discussion of just how weird our solar system is, and Dan getting really jealous about Tom Nardi's recent trip to see the battleship New Jersey from an up close and personal perspective.
Head on over to Hackaday to check out the links and leave your thoughts!

Supercon 2023: James Lewis Builds His Own Portable Apple IIe
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Місяць тому
This talk spans a four-year project initially intended to be a quick and easy “just wire this chip up” idea. (Sound familiar?) James set out to build a portable Apple IIe based on the Apple “Mega-II” chip from the late 1980s. Something that not even Apple ever did! To make it happen, he had to reverse engineer the (mostly) undocumented ASIC and learn more about the Apple II hardware architectur...

    I love this presentation! There is such a fast progression in technology, yet there is so much knowledge to absorb from the past. I'm curious about the book that you hold up at the beginning of the video, do you have an ISBN number?

    What an amazing video!!! I think everyone on earth should be required to watch this and learn it. I've been working with electronics for about 15 years. I love it so much for many reasons. The most important of which, is that I always learn something new. No matter how much you think you know, something comes along to show you that you don't know as much as you thought you did. Lol. Superb demonstration sir!

    The quote at the end of Sam's talk has stuck with me, the one about experience.... is only a bookmark in my memory, but all the things he says included with this quote has inspired me and encouraged me to let my curiosity sort of be the compass to get past all the unfinished and finished projects, that helps in a subtle way to choose amongst the seemingly blind and really scary paths forward....99 percent of the people that have ever been involved in life almost always run away from doing tough things, saying things like, "Why in the world would you want to do that?!''' It makes for a lonely world for me....because of a tendency to be curious about computers, TVs, but it's christmas everyday when there's something to take apart, or try to repair, or go into a deep dive down the rabbit hole into a kind of pure thinking kind of mode....it's not a lot of christmas to get into that mode, only super neat if you can get over those few hurdles to get there. Just wanted to say thanks, Sam, for your positive impact.

    Many years ago I maintained a system that had a PDP-8i. I remember toggling in the RIM loader. One thing I recall from the programmers reference was they actually recommended using self modifying code! 😮 That was normally considered taboo! Back in those days I also worked on some PDP-11s & VAX 11/780s, Data General Nova & Eclipse, Collins 8500 and some Prime computers. My own computer was an IMSAI 8080, which also had a front panel.

    As mentioned there are trade-offs one has to make. When the set of flags was mentioned I immediately recognized there was no mention of a negative flag. It would have been possible to use the middle four bits of opcode 0 to have several pages of 16 instructions so some useful ones could be added but, as was pointed out, it would add to the complexity of the CPU design and cost.
