Solenoids go clicky-clacky 🔩🔊🤖

We're testing out an I2C-to-solenoid driver today. It uses an MCP23017 expander. We like this particular chip for this usage because it has push-pull outputs, making it ideal for driving our N-channel FETs and flyback diodes. The A port connects to the 8 drivers, while the B port remains available for other GPIO purposes. For this demo, whenever we 'touch' a pin on port B to ground, the corresponding solenoid triggers provide an easy way to check speed and power usage.

Today I made a case for my raspberry pi with lego:

(Ignore the ugly chunky hdmi cable and micro-hdmi adapter. these are some rigid chonkers.)

It even has a lid for the display:

The air can circulate thru the literal "windows". i might add some more cooling bodies inside.

Hi, I just got into tech (actually 1 year in but I still feel like I don't know anything).

I learnt python, R, SQL, Tableau and concepts in Data Structures, Algorithms.

[Just the Basic level of the listed.]

But I can't write my own programs on python or create anything.

I was hella impressed by your microprocessor project, and when I took up tech (ai and data science) I assumed I would do something like that or at least code.

Now, I am just venting but where do I start, how do I make projects what are some interesting projects, what should I learn? A lot of my seniors tell me to have a wide range of knowledge like focus on one thing by depth but add other things. For example: you can study data analytics in depth but have some knowledge in ethical hacking and web development etc. Like an all rounder.

Wow ok a lot to unpack here, I'll get started

Lots of places recommend that you start with Arduino, as there are a lot of good tutorials out there. I somewhat disagree

I think that raspberry pi is better because it's usually a lot cheaper to buy the stuff you want to play around with

But an even cooler way to do it, go to wokwi.com and start a project on a Raspberry Pi Pico (make sure it's the micropython version) and then you can get started there

Google something like "Blink led with Pi Pico micropython" and there will be a tutorial or two

Then, once you've played around for a while you can buy a Pi Pico for very little money and see your stuff work irl!

If you need any more help or have any questions, feel free to DM me and I'll see what I can do

Text mode HSTX DVI output on the Fruit Jam 🔡🖥️🍓

Jepler has been working round the clock to get HSTX DVI

) output support for the Fruit Jam

) working - this mode is neat because its 'text only' - you get 3-bit color text, it does that by creating a 'resolution' of 91 x 30 characters, you can only set the color and glyph. However, the monitor output is a non-buffered 1280x720, with each scanline generated 'on the fly', so you don't need any SRAM. This could be great for something like a Z-machine emulator (

) or other text-mode-only computation.
