All I can think is I have the same breadboard, even down to the little links joining the power rails across the board.
A soft, pink watercolor circle labeled “Your Life,” with a small dot near its edge labeled “this moment.”
Just a lil reminder today 🩵
I just completed "Hoof It" - Day 10 - Advent of Code 2024 #AdventOfCode adventofcode.com/2024/day/10 #LabVIEW
Pi 500 is out today. I’ve used it. It’s good. A Pi 5 in a Pi 400 case, but less pink. If that’s what you need, you’ll like it. If you’re expecting M1 Mac Mini levels of performance, you won’t.

Picked up some merchandise, a nice Kings Theatre mug, the usual flashing fairy wand and a new 20th anniversary edition of the Destination Portsmouth

Christmas has started, we visited Kings Theatre, Portsmouth this afternoon to see this year's #PompeyPanto, Dick Whittington. As usual the whole cast put on an amazing performance that literally had the entire auditorium up and dancing by the end.

It's the 30th day of Christmas, less than 4weeks to the big day. Does that answer your question?
Picture of issue 2 Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
The ZX Spectrum colour values of the keys actually add up correctly.
1 = blue
2 = red
4 = green
blue + red = 3 magenta
blue + green = 5 cyan
red + green = 6 yellow
red+blue+green = 7 white
It took me 40 years to notice this !
If you don’t see “A$” and immediately read it as “A string” then this might not be the account for you.
Oh, Makers! Gods of glue and chaos!
Duct-tape dreams, solder sparks!
You, who wrangle 3D printers' tantrums,
Forge marvels from cursed IKEA parts!
Code-wrangling, gear-twisting alchemists!
Bow down, world, to their Franken-creations!
#yarrbooty #Makers
Yes, I think I was one of two to complete every season and enjoyed everything about it. The best I managed was 2nd in the Winter 2017 season.
Oh Makers! Ye architects of madness and dreams, Forgers of realms where no blueprint gleams. With your soldering irons like modern Excaliburs, You summon sparks that dance like unruly saboteurs. In basements, garages, and cluttered abodes, You conjure the future from scavenged modes. Circuit boards whisper in languages arcane, While your 3D printers hum a digital refrain. Behold! The Holy Grail of duct-taped delights, A Franken-creation birthed in caffeine-fueled nights. Buttons and levers in chaotic ballet, What it does? Even you cannot say! Your kingdoms are solder smokes and tangled wires, Where failure ignites your ingenious fires. For every botched attempt, a phoenix takes wing, Each flaw a note in the anthem you sing. Oh, alchemists of code, turning void into light, Your algorithms, a cryptic delight. With lines of logic, you bind and release, Beeping contraptions that never know peace. To you, who weld lasers to garden gnomes, And sculpt rocket ships from recycled domes, The cosmos salutes your absurd endeavor— For no dream is too wild, no "why" too clever. So here's to the Makers, the tinkerers divine, From Arduino sorcerers to Raspberry Pi shrine. May your toolbox overflow with magic unending, And your zany creations defy all comprehending.
Ode To Makers #yarrbooty #chatgpt
Oh Makers! Ye architects of madness and dreams,
Forgers of realms where no blueprint gleams.
With your soldering irons like modern Excaliburs,
You summon sparks that dance like unruly saboteurs.
1st thought: Nice 😎
2nd thought: What about type casting, isn't an INT divided by an INT an INT?
3rd though: It's the weekend, stop over thinking everything 😜

🎄 BOOSTER THREAD FOR MAKERS 🎄
Every year on X I did a thread to boost people making cool things that might make good Xmas pressies.
If you create things, reply with:
- description
- picture
- link to buy
And I will boost you.
Non-creators, boost this thread and buy the cool things!
MERRY XMAS
Looking at debugging a LabVIEW app with a colleague and found this podcast interesting. One of the techniques we used was to add logging of the data being passed through the test on the actual system so we could load it back and debug the logic later.
