Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 14/09/2026Alright who in the world buys this and keeps it in the box for 30 years unused except for having cut out the barcode for whatever rebate was being offered 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 14/09/2026Even I have to admit my reflexes aren't quite what they've been :( Therefore announcing today I have acquired a macro pad and will be playing with that moving forward lol 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 03/09/2026Ooh, it does start in Windows 11! I need to test Wine/Proton. Maaaaaybe I can even get far enough to test the physics bug! 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 01/09/2026I forgot this thing was coming, the SN Operator! I will now dump all my super Nintendo games and no one can stop me! And the next time I'm playing SNES Mario Kart in public and someone asks if that's my copy of the game I can confidently say "YES OFFICER in strangely tight shorts!" 030
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 23/08/2026Added basic display of buttons to my HyperCard viewer! I have no idea how i really want to deal with resource forks for icons 020
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 17/08/2026Me forgetting the Internet exists and tracing the center terminal in the DC adapter socket lol (center negative!) I really didn't have to even trace it as it was well labeled (except to double check the board markings because, well lol) 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 27/07/2026Here's the main menu after pressing Control+V to reveal the version! 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 27/07/2026I found these pictures lurking in the Apple IIgs version of "The Print Shop," likely the dev team and the QA team. There's evidence of a hidden menu called "La la land" that shows these, but I haven't found it yet. I haven't found much online about the photos either. 141
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 16/07/2026Girlslop Mark 3, the "I really need to go to the store" edition. Found some frozen steam in bag corn and sure that will make up for the lack of eggs, potatoes and black beans lol Honestly never tried corn like this, I'm scared 250
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 19/06/2026I would like for these cursed objects to be locked in some SCP universe 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 15/06/2026Oh, neato! The UI design sketches I did for my hypercard stack I was making in like 9th grade that could send Apple events to remote machines! This poor stack was lost in an HD failure though, I'm sure :( Yes we totally used it to message one another during classes in the computer lab lol 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 15/06/2026Thought I'd poke at old HyperCard stuff and boy howdy this clipart is nostalgic lol 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 09/06/2026WHAT Well I'm glad it checked to see if 'foo' was in the expected format but why is it trying to open an image file named foo? Lol was this my fault? 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 07/06/2026And then reconnecting a pull up resistor got me this 100
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 07/06/2026Messing about with the present of the clock signals got me this 100
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 07/06/2026A couple people on the look mum no computer discord were looking at the bass 3 synth output I was getting from my oscilloscope and gave some advice. The output was this. Not quite the stepped saw. 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 08/05/2026I GIVE YOU.... The World's Least Ambitious Keyboard Controller!!! 120
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 08/05/2026Lollllll this has been what bluesky on my phone has been opening to for the past week 030
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 03/05/2026THERE I forgive you if you don't believe me but I think we can start over now lol 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 03/05/2026By the way this is tonight's recipe ideally, I just turned the desoldering pump off bc there's no suction >:( 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 03/05/2026Ope lol welp so much for luck, we've gone pear shaped already lol dangnabbit, hmmmmm 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 03/05/2026I would like to finish this tonight though first thing I need to strip these first tries off lol wish me luck! 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 02/05/2026Woooo hot dang big thanks to @adriansdigitalbasement.com for giving me the idea to use hot air to get these components off this board FINALLY lol Like no joke this has been on my bench for three+ years. I can now properly figure out how I destroyed it and I get two free log pots woohoo 030
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 26/04/2026KEYBOARD WORKS(ish) Somehow the lvgl font disappeared too and lvgl was complaining the fonts are compressed but not set via define as enabled which was frustrating but whatever lol I wonder if these are bugs or oversights due to the keyboard really still being developmental? I doooon't knooooooow 100
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Okay well at full speed it's obvious it thinks most keys are down lol got a problem there boss sir It's back to my wiring but things make sense now I THINK lollll? 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026lol yes way irritatingly i'm still not getting a response from the calculator but I can pull out my debug info and restore to full speed lol dang 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026It looks like it isn't getting in the for loop? We're bounded by CONNECTED_COLS, let's check that 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Okay cool the serial write during keyscan is happening, so IT SHOULD BE WORKING WHY ISN'T IT LOL 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026lol oh good margatroid okay let's send it to the esp32 instead lol geeeeez 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Okay, i'll comment out the ifdef for a minute, though there's an unclosed ifndef up above that has me curious.. 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026See? Although.. it is wrapped by an ifdef.. hm.... 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026This seems like the correct location! Hmmmmmmmmmmm 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Yoooo okay, i think this is where the magic is! And it looks intact, so now I'm confused about the wiring again.. I'm adding the Serial.printf to make sure this is getting called and recompiling. 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Note: this is being called by the serial bridge to handle keystrokes from the serial port, so from handlekey() things seem to be working 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Okay it looks like it's polling the keyboard, let's find this definition 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Hidden/Experimental? We do not hide things here unless they are ugly! lol This might be a place to build an icon to start the hardware test, let's keep going... 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 24/04/2026Well ok, this is the main loop. It looks like if lvgl is active it lets that update, then runs g_app.update() which is in the SystemApp.cpp file, then writes a heartbeat to the serial port every 5000 ticks (5s) and sleeps till the next time to poll everything. So into SystemApp.cpp we go..! 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 22/04/2026I just realized nowhere in this red box does the bluesky app think when I touch I intend to scroll down 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 22/04/2026Okay seriously listen to me, four bands are USELESS if I can't tell which end is what now! Leave some space! I think the right side brown stripe is thinner than everyone else but that is not consistent and maybe a manufacturing error argh STOP IT YOU ONLY NEED THREE (+1) lol 120
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 22/04/2026I started working on this and think I forgot to tell anyone? I'm playing with NumOS and hit a wall of not understanding what I'm supposed to be doing with the button array. The continuity checks out.. I think I need vss or ground somewhere on the buttons and it's not in the documentation, :l 020
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 22/04/2026I am genuinely kind of shocked to see -- instead of — on a product from 1978.. I thought people knew how to typeset back then! 000
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 15/04/2026No, it's fine! It's just named skirizi , that can mean all sorts of meaningless things you are not having a stroke... Ah? 010
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 15/04/2026Oh this is .. huh. I wonder if it will restart the bottle? 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 15/04/2026Good old nostalgia flash bang from the installer here 110
Dorknerd Succubus 🤪🏳️⚧️ @techcubus.monster · 14/04/2026And finally we have this. It is a discontinued version of a computer controlled radio and I have no idea if I can make it work in this day and age lol. I imagine the PCMCIA adapter card is not easy to track down, but it's not necessary apparently? I need a serial connection and a power supply. 120
