Two(ish) modules(ish) that I've been thinking about for a while and finally decided to just do yesterday. I need to populate the left one with power and a bunch of knobs, jacks, and jumper headers, but the idea is to modularize my testbed space for meetups and stuff

Quick Smartphone Rant

honestly, why isn't this shit standardised? cars and the like have interchangeable parts between models or even different makes, but phones are completely fucking proprietary. COMPLETELY. want extra parts? the manufacturer doesn't sell em. is the third party reputable? who knows. even basic wear parts: batteries, charging ports, headphone jacks? those could be modular if the manufacturers wanted to keep stuff going for any amount of time after sale at all, but nooo, that can't happen, think of the profit margins. and headphone jacks: why aren't they everywhere? ik most people don't use em but there's already a DAC and amp in your phone for the speakers. including a bit of switching circuitry and a jack isn't that much of an ask. and for OS support? absolutely fucking barren. sure google does 7 years now, but what about 3rd party stuff? google's the exception, cuz lord knows samsung doesn't in my region and every single fucking phone is one of those or from apple.

anyways. taking suggestions for small (sub-6.5") screened phones with headphone jacks that are available in the americas and have custom rom support or not much bloatware ootb.

october 1st 2024: drafts!

preacher: i'm attaching slightly improved versions of our original drafts, but i'll also include mine and scott's garbage sketches under the cut because i think they're a little bit funny

(image id available through tumblr's accessibility options)

this is a slightly revised version of my original concept for "APRIL".

the main functionality i wanted for "APRIL" was for her to be able to read out words from the templeOS god word app, and ideally without needing keyboard input – hence the microphone. ideally all of her parts are going to fit inside a hollowed out mannequin or doll, which will probably just be the torso, so that she's more portable. for the same reason, i want her to run off a power bank – i want to be able to take her places!

if we manage, we're going to give her an animated LED face which moves to indicate when she's speaking. the way i first pitched it, i wanted it to also change a bit depending on how she "felt" – for example, frowning if the environment was hotter than ideal for the raspberry pi to operate on. but that's a bit beyond our current scope right now. i don't think we even ordered a thermostat.

scott drew the following wiring diagrams based off my original sketch. here revised digitally for readability's sake.

(image id available through the tumblr accessibility options although i fear it's not very good in this case. feedback appreciated).

scott: I decided to go with the raspberry pi zero 2w because it's what I've got experience coding on, it's relatively cheap for the "brains" of the operation (heh) and can perform both tasks from the godword prophecy generation, speaker operation and led matrix operation simultaneously. Plus its small enough to keep the circuit lightweight and fit inside the initial mannequin design.

This drawing fits no kind of engineering standard by the way lol. It was an initial sketch closer to a wiring diagram to see how it'd physically setup and wrap my head around transforming it from mains power to being theoretically portable and running on powerbanks. Unfortunately the LED matrix is really fucking power hungry so needs its own power supply of really specific voltage and current draws hence all the converters.

Also because Im using the smaller and cheaper pi, as oppossed to a stronger system like the pi4, it doesn't have any audio out jack so I plan to use the micro usb for audio out which means yet again I need another adapter for a soundcard and usb to micro usb adapters and all that jazz. Usually sound out can be done through the GPIO pins but the LED matrix takes so many pins that I cant really take anything form them so I had to look for other ways of doing it. Plus this way I get to add a soundcard so if we wanna add microphone support or anything later on we can :)

(Also this is all a little obtuse because I'm trying to do it as much as plug and play and screw terminal style as possible rather than actually solder connections for ease of access and initial setup, but this also works for modular design and component swapping later too so its cool.)

preacher: another reason we're going with plug&play is becauuseeeeee i don't own a soldering iron 😭 it's ok. it's ok.

our silly initial drafts under the cut for your viewing pleasure.

preacher: these were made around 2 weeks ago, so about september 15th ish.

as you can see the first "APRIL" drawing was beautifully drawn with my fat fingers in the facebook messenger photo editor. i think it holds up. lol.

getting to know mutuals!

Tagged by @halestrom on main, but posting here because if people follow me on main they usually already know most of this... 🤣 (And editing to add @nimuetheseawitch and @ghostlykiss who have also since tagged me. I'm not ignoring them, promise!)

what's the origin of your blog title? Sunday - Monday - Tuesday, SunMonTue - it was a three-day period where I was meant to be working on an assignment however instead found fanfic and spent three days reading. Then I needed a username so I could create an account and subscribe and it's been me username/handle for nearly 20 years. Hence sunmontuewrites (main), and JanineSMT and sunmontue on AO3 etc etc...

otp(s) + shipname(s): Jake/Bradley, Hangster. Derek/Stiles, Sterek. Eric/Jack, Zimbits. Dave/Kurt, Kurtofsky. (Only doing fandoms I've written in... I'm generally pretty happy to read most things).

favourite colour: Purple. All shades.

song stuck in your head: Currently an acoustic cover of Simply the Best by John Adams. It's a little bit haunting.

weirdest habit/trait: I honestly have no idea?

hobbies: writing, baking, patchwork, Lego, card making... I also enjoy walking and travelling. And taking photos. And drawing. I also used to do scrapbooking and journalling.

if you work, what's your profession? I don't have a profession as such as a calling. I am the bossy/scary admin person that everyone is a little bit scared of... But I get shit done and people think I'm great at my job. (I studied science and work in engineering and my dad was a maths academic so... that provides some context I hope?)

if you could have any job you wish, what would it be? I legitimately love my job, the amount of variety is crazy, and the team I'm in is amazing, as are the students and 90% of the academics. HOWEVER I cannot wait to retire and write fulltime... still a little while away though. (Much closer for me than most of you though!)

something you're good at: I'd like to think I'm decent at most of my hobbies, I know I'm good at my job... I have KICK ASS hand writing if I do say so myself. I always get compliments on it.

something you hate: Bigots and people who are ignorant by choice. I am scared about becoming intolerant or close minded as I get older.

something you collect: Lego? I collect the Botanicals, Winter Village and also the modular buildings.

something you forget: Oof. I forget SO MUCH now (and I'm blaming the Covid x5 and perimenopause brainfog). I am very good at writing things down so I do not forget. I still sometimes forget.

what's your love language: Feeding people. If people are sad, lonely, happy, I want to make food for them.

favourite movie/show: Top Gun Maverick. I know. You're all shocked.

favourite food: Chinese. So much variety and depth of flavour I could eat nothing but Chinese food for the rest of my life and be happy.

favourite animal: Cats. At one point we had five. It was GLORIOUS.

what were you like as a child: BUSY.

favourite subject at school: Geography.

least favourite subject: Hmm. None. Yes. I was one of those annoying kids.

what's your best character trait? I try to assume people aren't trying to be dicks. Like I ask myself "could they be having a bad day?" before I let their behaviour impact mine negatively, or ruin my day. (I have to TRY really hard at this some days).

what's your worst character trait? I over think things. Also I can come across as snobbish or cold/uncaring. (But I'm just quiet and introverted in person and several of my friends have said they thought I was stand offish before they got to know me).

if you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be? I would love to have my mum be alive.

if you could travel in time, who would you like to meet? Oof. Kate Sheppard probably. Although she'd likely be devasted with the current events going on in the USA.

If you do this please tag me, mutuals or not. I always like getting to know people. 🌻🌻🌻
