Recalculating everything for my current novel to account for every fourth light-year being longer by a factor of 366/365, except for multiples of 100 that are not multiples of 400.

A looping animation. I didn’t expect to need to scroll the shapes to loop correctly.

We've lost a great man here

just used a calculator to divide 232 by 100 #timeforbed

@millihertz hmm, some specifics would be nice. could be a layout or power supply issue, or anything really

@john_newall that looks like a nice little hot plate

I had a silly idea to try to use an LED as a capacitor for mutual-capacitance capacitive touch sensing, while still maintaining the ability to drive the LED, and it worked! It's not very reliable with this kind of setup but if my idea works out I can put these in a 2d matrix and multiplex them.

I want a display for $personalproject. Preferably something about 2.5" and full colour. Not overly fussed about resolution, it's just for text statuses and rough graphs. Can anyone recommend one that's easily available via the usual suppliers and preferably with an FFC connection option. This design is going open so I'd rather something widely available. Aliexpress is fine but must be available from other places too.

Edit: preferably talked to with SPI.

I had a look on CPC but they're limited to about 1" and being CPC the choice is limited. The 1" one did come with a proper datasheet though, even though it was just a rebadged Chinese module.

@jamesb buydisplay.com maybe? e.g. https://www.buydisplay.com/color-2-4-inch-tft-lcd-module-display-touch-panel-240x320-dot-serial-spi

it seems to be unreasonably difficult to make an embedded device that 1. you can send files to over usb 2. doesn't use FAT as its filesystem

this is what MTP is for. in theory it's good. but in practice it is bad

USB, MSC, MTP, VID, PID, FAT. these are the TLAs making me sad at the moment

how do you pronounce RoHS
