If you've ever played around with TI microcontrollers, you've probably had to use the Code Composer Studio, which is fine and all, but I found out recently they made their own open source C compiler.
It's nice to know that they not only have a compiler I can use (meaning I'm not locked into using an IDE), but that it's also on the AUR!
(`yay -S msp430-elf-binutils msp430-elf-gcc msp430-elf-gdb` :-) )

Welcome to Dallas: The City That Just Can’t Stop Expanding
North of Dallas, communities are growing along a highway locals call ‘liquid gold.’ Texas is about ready to invade Oklahoma.
Where cattle once outnumbered people, new shopping malls, housing developments & office towers now reign, & a region that was once overwhelmingly white & country is now increasingly South Asian & techie.

My #BMS #PCBs arrived from @aislerhq and they look nice. I designed it because I couldn't find 3S BMS for #LiFePO4 cells and didn't like the voltage thresholds of the cheap #LiIon ones.
It uses the #BQ77915 chip from #TexasInstruments. Size is 63x50mm.
While fetching all components according to the BOM, I noticed the #diode had the #footprint SOT-323 assigned. I only have SOT-23 ones :blobcatgoogly:
I'm glad that I can still make it fit, and the third leg isn't used at all (it's a single diode).
Can't wait to find some time to finish soldering a few and try them out.
It supports 3S up to 5S, and I added #silkscreen part to mark how it's configured.
The back has detailed instructions, so I don't forget them.
#Kubuntu now refuses to find the NVMe storage inside the #Sonnetech docking station. 6 weeks ago it worked perfectly. Ran backups to it and everything. I reloaded Kubuntu on that laptop for other reasons, and now it cannot see the 1tB NVMe M.2 stick I've put inside the dock. Swapped NVMe, no change.
There appears to be no #TexasInstruments #TPS #DMC driver.
Anyone have any leads?
ColecoVision und mein persönliches Donkey Kong Desaster
Arkade-Automaten waren im Jahre 1982 für Videospieler das Non plus ultra. Weder die seinerzeit teuren Heimcomputer und schon gar nicht die heimischen Spielkonsolen waren in der Lage die Hits der Videospielautomaten authentisch wiederzugeben.

I attended the #vcfsw in Dallas at the UTDallas campus this weekend. Quite a show! It's considerably smaller than those in Chicago or New Jersey, but still an excellent opportunity to see some vintage hardware in person and attend presentations from some original creators in the industry. The primary focus this year was #texasinstruments and the #TMS9900 and #TMS9918 chips.
Oder auch das hier, beschreibt die Geschichte und Szene von „damals“ recht gut. 👉 https://youtu.be/p_lw4wV3mGo?si=MmXwk9mmN7CsEQpq
Ist das heute eigentlich immer noch so? Sind Spiele auf dem Schul-Taschenrechner immer noch angesagt? #taschenrechner #gaming Welche Rechner nutzt ihr überhaupt in der Schule? Casio CG50? TI Nspire? #casio #texasinstruments #cg50 #nspire #calculators
@askans Hehe, ja, die ganzen alten, grafikfähigen TI Taschenrechner wurden schon früh gehackt. Der gute alte Z80 Prozessor werkelte in denen, von daher war das Portieren diverser Spiele Emulatoren ein netter Spaß der Hacker. Machste nix. Is’ so, wird immer so sein, sobald eine Hardware genügend viel Verbreitung hat. – Netter Überblick: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo_WgbUfNxc #calculators #gaming #texasinstruments
This year's major topic at the Vintage Computer Festival Southwest is Texas Instruments. The first of several great talks and panels included Granville Ott, a major contributor to TI in the 1970s and 1980s, and one of the primary drivers of the TI99xx series processors used in, among other things, the TI-99/4a series of home computers.
Granville is on the left, next to several prominent YouTube creators who cover the tech of the 1970s.

"Texas is famous for embracing other cultures." (m p) #TexasInstruments #LittleProfessor
In Memoriam Johannes Auth. Einige Jahre vor seinem kürzlichen Tod übergab er mir den programmierbaren Taschenrechner TI-59 inkl. gesamten Zubhör. Jetzt habe ich ihn hoffentlich in seinem Sinne der Wissensallmende zur Verfügung gestellt.
