Guess who just achieved rudimentary digital to analog conversion!

(FREE LARGE FRIES! - lol, ignore the ad on the free oscilloscope app)

I tweaked the code to use timer B instead of A, which I guess is better for driving audio with PWM (also frees up timer A for some higher bit depth PWM to drive the current on the eventual analog components). Totally changed my sample rate, so I'm back to V/Hz instead of V/Oct until I update the python script to generate the exponential values (I suppose I should do a write up at some point instead of just rambling). I also don't have any LPF on the output, so *maybe* the wiggle is from the 62kHz sample rate.

Next steps:

- V/Octave control

- Wavetable lookups (unrelated to DCO)

- DCO analog circuit

- Adapt code for ATtiny (including adapting Arduino syntax into C)

- Figure out how to even flash the ATtiny

- Build the DCO

Guys I spoke to Mike Wozniak today! I was at the Three Bean Salad live show at Machynlleth, and me and the gang got there super early, so we were in the front row. About half way through (after the inevitable rambling intro) they asked if someone in the front row would ring the bell at 5 minutes to go, and Mike sort of leaned over and held the bell out, and the girl next to me didn’t want to take it so I took it from him. They asked if I wanted to use that normal bell or the small decorative bell they brought to LPF last year, which was very hard to hear, and I said no to that one for that reason. Then Mike asked me if I was more of a “Wozniak or a Paker in terms of their time keeping skills,” and I said I was “definitely more of a Wozniak”. They asked if I would be okay with keeping time (Mike had already spotted my watch) and I said yeah, I could set a timer so it rang at the right time. I enjoyed the show, it was hilarious as all their shows are, but I was a little nervous that I’d ring the bell by accident, so I kept it clamped between my knees, but my legs kept shaking, so I held it from then on! The topic was Cheese, and they ended up talking about milking sheep (naturally) and the lady one away from me in the front row had a lot of expertise, and the Beans were asking a lot of questions, so when the timer rang, I didn’t ring the bell straight away, but held on until there was a natural pause, rang the bell and caught Mike and Ben’s eye at the same time, and said that it was time. As they had started late they questioned whether I had the right timing (very gently), and I explained that I had added 3 or 4 minutes to the 25 minute timer I had set, so it was half an hour since they asked me to keep time. They seem satisfied with this. However, Henry naturally had an extra section where he gave advice using his new Crab Book (the section was called various things, but I remember most distinctly the name “Crabatha Christie”), so the show went on for another 20 minutes anyway 😂 But at the very end as they were saying goodbye I caught Mike’s eye so I could hand the bell back to him, he took it from me, rang it, and popped it back on the table, and they left. What a day!

guys,,, i was just wandering around benkongerike on solstheim whilst en route to saering’s watch for the main quest

i killed two of the reiklings and then the clearing sound played, but when i checked it wasn’t cleared

weird, yeah, but skyrim sure does skyrim so i moved on.

BUT THEN the dragon soul absorption sound went off! AND THE FUCKING ‘MIRAAK HAS ABSORBED THE DRAGON SOUL’ THING SHOWED UP.

So I checked my map and Saering’s Watch (still undiscovered) WAS CLEARED

WHO THE FUCK KILLED THE DRAGON
