I assembled and tested the new controller for the @revisionparty tunnel LED strips today. Feels great to do some electronics tinkering again after all this time! 🥰

The controller system is a successor to the breadboard contraption we used since 2019 - see https://chaos.social/@dojoe/110089761829771465It's literally the same two micros running the same firmwares, I just finally converted that breadboard layout into a proper PCB.

I did make a small update: Instead of abusing XLR cables for the WS2812 signals I am now abusing Cat5 cables ;) I'm sending the WS2812 data through a 26LS31 differential driver on the controller board for signal fidelity. Two of the twisted pairs carry one WS2812 stream each, the other two provide VDD and GND to the controller from the strips.The tiny board at the other end of the cable has a 26LS32 to go back to single ended, and a 100 Ohm termination to match the Cat5 impedance.

Love how everyone's like "the modern web is great, everything that used to be an app is now a website, true platform independence" and then follows up with "please install our native client which is electron running a copy of our website and only available on win and mac"

@jtruk @revisionpartyI'm not sure that's entirely accurate though: The bullseye is not intact and there's many more than the two data rings required for a ShotCode. Also the sector and ring borders are inconsistent and not lining up in a lot of places.To me it looks like an artistic rendering inspired by one of the several similar but incompatible circular barcode schemes circulating in the 2000s.It might well be encoding some hidden message but I'm certain it's not a ShotCode :)

@jtruk @revisionparty References:- SpotCode (predecessor of ShotCode) spec: https://web.archive.org/web/20040803155556/http://www.highenergymagic.com/spotcode/symbols.html- Another circular barcode from the SpotCode group with specs: https://anil.recoil.org/papers/2005-mc2r-bluespot.pdf- Counting the example image on the Wikipedia page for ShotCode implies two rings of 24 sectors each which would make sense for 40 bits plus some sync and checksum

Fun times when your supposed code bug turns out to be an emulator bug.

Holy shit, I'm not fine with GenAI in general already, but I didn't realize it would also undermine the credibility of skill.I spent a day preparing hilarious high quality meme images for a presentation, like "Santa gives little Suzie a silicon wafer for christmas." From photos, using GIMP. After the prez I was asked whether I was ok with using so many AI images.My brother in christ, has it ever occured to you that I may just be GOOD AT IMAGE EDITING?

@cR0w wait it's only 50 years? It's such a timelesa classic to me, in my head canon it might as well be 100.

One of my biggest gripes with "AI" technology is that it's ruining the ✨ emoji.

Is it just me or does "2.2 million files" strike anyone else as... not something a global cloud backup provider should brag? Customers, yes ok - but files?I mean I'm backing up my mom's laptop rn; she doesn't have a lot of stuff and still there's some 47k files in her home dir.2.2 million files is like 50 moms.

FWIW I told their support and the response was "woops yeah that can't be right, I let our marketing dept know" plus they gifted me a free subscription month as a little thankyou :)
