the annoying thing about doing the hardware and software of a project is that sometimes you want to work on the software part but the hardware part isn't there yetand you don't want to work on the hardware right now

did some relatively quick 3d print design so I can do hardware soon.also I think my disk is dying in front of me: I tried to write an 80 track image, and it failed at track 49. I try again, and it fails at track 39I'm trying again, for science

so I'm going to specifically leave HAMBOG4 unprinted until I've assembled HAMBOG3 and integrated any lessons I learn from that. rather than just whacking print as soon as I've yanked HAMBOG3 out of the printer

HAMBOG2 was mainly printed so it wouldn't be completely broken like HAMBOG1 (HAMBOG1 is only partially 3d printed, some of it is tape)but it had problems I fixed in HAMBOG3, which is printing now.

finally got a ammeter on the power. So right now this thing is idling at 200-250mA (I haven't tried optimizing that yet)Copying a floppy disk bumps it up to 350-400mAThe total usage indicator says 11mAh after zeroing it and copying a disk

@SvenGeier well I'm still probably going to do one of those. HAMBOG is mainly a stopgap so that I have some hardware, no matter how janky or ugly, so I can work on software for now. Eventually that same software will run on a more elegant hamburger/hotdog

@sif @epithumia hmm. I'm not sure what a "cheseburger" design would be, but I'll have to figure it out for more portmanteaus.Hamburger vs Hotdog has to do with how the machine "eats" floppies: hotdog has a drive at the front, hamburger has a drive facing to the right (or left, I suppose)The names make more sense in my head, but they're also references to designs I haven't actually created yet, so I can't explain them very well
