TLV320DAC3100 first bops 🔊🎶💃🕺

OK, after many hours spent with Claude on writing a driver for the TLV320DAC3100 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TLV320DAC3100IRHBR/2260591), we finally have it configured using our driver, and playing an MP3 stream on this ESP32. This I2S DAC has a particularly complex PLL and audio-routing system, so it's not one where you can just pipe in I2S data and have it magically play. One nice thing we got working on is the MCLK, which is generated from the BCLK, so it'll work great with anything from an Arduino-compatible to a single-board computer like Raspberry Pi. We're hoping to get the headphone detection working next so that we can turn off the amp when the headphone is plugged in. Also, it should be able to control the volume from the headset buttons. Also, we want to get the internal beep generator going so we can make tones separate from the audio stream for UI notifications.

let’s dispel once and for all the fiction that mechanical keyswitches are good. They aren’t that much better than the alternatives.

More earnestly: the number one benefit of mechanical keyswitches is that they grant a designer an extraordinary degree of latitude when it comes to the structure and design of a keyboard. Unless you really highly value clickiness the majority of their features can be matched by high quality rubber domes from any decent keyboard manufacturer.

Their real strength is that you can pick consistent, reliable switches and put them anywhere you want in 3D space and just run wires to them to make a unique 1 of 1 keyboard that perfectly fits you, and you can easily stick a microcontroller with custom firmware in there to implement whatever features you want.

I got a Logitech ergo rubber dome today and it feels great, the biggest issue is that I wish it didn’t have a numpad and I wish it had more thumb buttons so that they could do more work. And of course I would! That’s what my homemade custom mechanical split keyboard looks like! I could make that to exact specs with some wood tools and a laser cut sheet of brass for the switchplate, whereas this Logitech is a miracle made of over a dozen unique injection moulded parts with an overall mould cost probably exceeding USD 50k!

I would love to have exactly the perfect high end rubber dome mass-produced keyboard of my dreams, but no one makes it, and that’s, reasonable, I have very specific dreams, but I have never understood bog standard layout mechanicals. You could be having a much better time with something with nicer switches!

Sorely tempted to figure out if I can physically hack off the numpad here and sneakily hot-glue some kailh choc switches to the wristrest as thumb keys. At the moment I'm just putting my trackball square on top of the numpad which works fine. I'll print a cap for it later. This is going to end up at Gainful Employment Location not home. At the very least I want to see if there's a way to distinguish the two spacebars in software and use some clever hacks to make them behave as enter/backspace/both.

ISO enter keys were sent by the devil but I don't really have a lot of good options unless I want to import ANSI keyboards.

For future reference (my own and others), if your TI SilverLink USB cable stops working and starts showing up as "TUSB3410 Boot Device" or similar under device manager (AKA this issue on TI's help page), this is how you can fix it:

Download the TUSB3x10 EEPROM Burner. This is a Windows-only program, but to my knowledge will work on basically any windows machine from XP on -- so long as it's got USB ports. No clue if it'll work in a VM. (You might want to consult this user's manual.)

Download the SilverLink firmware. I got it from here, and compiled it from their de-compilation. It's just a standard 'make' to build. The output file you're looking for is called "ti_graph_link_silver.eep".

Rename "ti_graph_link_silver.eep" to "ti_graph_link_silver.bin".

Open the TUSB3x10 EEPROM Burner, click on the options dropdown and click "Show the 'Program Full Binary Image' button". (page 7 of the manual).

Select the entry under "Computer" labeled "TUSB3410 EEPROM Burner Instance (1.00)".

Set EEPROM size to "64Kb".

Set "File Path" to point to "ti_graph_link_silver.bin". (The renamed .eep, not the original .bin)

I don't know if the VID, PID, Manufacturer string, Product string and Serial # need to be set manually or not with a 'Full Binary Image' burn. Just to be safe, I set VID to 0451, PID to e001, Manufacturer to "Texas Instruments", Product to "TI-GRAPH LINK USB", and checked "Not Serialized"*.

Click the "Program Full Binary Image" button (yellow triangle with the exclamation point), and proceed with the write.

Unplug and re-plug your cable, and it should show up as a SilverLink again!

Additional notes:

The reason that this happens is because the SilverLink cable (revision b, at least) is based on the TUSB3410 microcontroller. That microcontroller's boot process involves checking for an I2C EEPROM containing program code. If it finds that EEPROM and its contents are properly formatted, it'll copy that code into internal RAM and start executing it. If it can't find the EEPROM, or its contents aren't properly formatted, it'll fall back to looking for boot code over USB. Thus: "TUSB3410 Boot Device". Your cable has, in essence, forgotten who it is and and is begging for you to give it a purpose.

The default page-write buffer size (32 bytes) and I2C bus speed (400 KHz) in the burner app are already correct, so no need to change them.

*I don't remember exactly what the Manufacturer string, Product string, or serial number fields were set to pre-corruption. Likewise, no idea about the advanced descriptor options. If someone wants to send the output of lsusb -v -s [whatever their silverlink's bus/id numbers are], I'd really appreciate it!

You might be able to skip the header rigamarole by taking the ti_graph_link_silver.bin file directly ("directly coming from the compiler") -- but I again I don't know exactly what information is in the .eep file and what isn't. Are the PID and VID encoded somewhere in there? I peeked with a hex editor but have no clue. If someone has hardware lying around they're willing to experiment with/potentially brick, I'd love to hear your results!

If you mess up and accidentally forget to do a "Full Binary Image" write, or otherwise brick the firmware, you can force the TUSB3410 to fall back to USB boot mode by opening the plastic shell around the PCB (one Torx screw under the sticker, then just normal plastic tabs) and shorting the right-bottom (Vss) and right-top (SDA), or right-bottom (Vss) and center right-top (SCL) pins of the EEPROM (the chip labeled "24LC64") as you plug it into the USB port. You may need multiple attempts. This works because it temporarily convinces the TUSB3410 that the EEPROM is missing/corrupt, and thus it decides to fall back into USB boot mode -- until you reset it. It might be better to do this with a ~1k resistor instead of a jumper wire, but IDK I'm not an electrical engineer. All I know is that shorting Vss and SDA worked for me. Again, would love feedback.

No clue what causes the corruption in the first place, or how long this fix will last. It might be because the EEPROM's write protect pin is set to "write enable"? It could also just be degrading hardware, for all I know, so no idea how long the fix will last. All I do know is that everything seems nominal right now (immediately after performing this procedure).

what's the plan for the jukeboxes? curious about how v2 is coming along 👀

also i love mine to bits, wanna wire it up for a soundboard at some point hehe

OH BOY I GET TO TALK ABOUT MY OTHER WEIRD PROJECTS!

Jukebox development has been on hold for a while now! Between the work on the next version (which would've been v4, btw, not v2. (I've been working on this for fuckin ever dude good god) Fun fact, you and some others got a v3!) and life just kind of happening to me, I haven't made much progress. Part of that life bit was also because I'm actually going to be doing an independent study with a prof at my university to develop the (hopefully last) version of the Jukebox.

The plan is to use a cheaper microcontroller (v4 had one that cost $2.50 to $4 per chip, v5 will be using one that's only $1 with a $0.25 memory chip) but keep pretty much everything else the same from the previous version. That means USB-C, Cherry MX and Kailh Choc key switch support, and open source everything. It would also have another 4 keys for the "modifier" (ctrl, alt, shift, super) keys for even more hotkey-ability.

I actually have a bunch of v4's built, and have been meaning to give them away to local friends or swap them with existing Jukeboxes I have given/sold to people. I also use a v4 with some "relegendable" key caps.

Ideally, the final version of the Jukebox would be sold with these (or similar) key caps, with a fun sticker sheet or something. The current "stickers" are made of printer paper, held in by the top and bottom halves of the keycap. I regularly use this while streaming and when I'm in Discord calls. It's great!

A big part of the reason the Jukebox still isn't finished, even with the whole independent study thing, is that I want it to be basically "finished" when I release it. Nothing new should need to be done with it once its out in the world. No firmware revisions, no bloated desktop applications. I want it to be something you can buy once and be happy with for the rest of your computing days, because lord knows we already have enough e-waste in the world. Designing products that last and that people want to use can be hard, especially when you're self funded and solo!

But I still have more plans for this thing, like this screen add-on for monitoring PC performance for weird PC building nerds like myself (or just anything, because it's a screen), and hopefully by next May it'll be ready for order proper. (Also ideally any old jukeboxes out there would just get a simple swap with the new ones. I'm already super in-the-red in terms of profit off these things, going in further wouldn't be so bad if it meant I got some of my old equipment and stuff back so I can use it for other things :D)

The PicKit 2 is a USB PIC programmer tool that can utilize Windows Platform with MPLAB Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to program or debug PIC Microcontrollers that support In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP). Meaning the PIC can be programmed with only 2-wires (2-pins) PGD and PGC excluding the power pins. It's great for beginners who wish to program or flash their PIC Microcontrollers which supports ICSP or for any firmware update. ICSP ensures that the microcontroller can be programmed without removing it from the circuit. This makes the debugging of the circuit easier and more convenient.

so excited to wire my diy boxx 2morrow <3

kind of anxious about measuring the red wires and whether or not i should tape the microcontroller to the box or let it just hang there so that vibrations and jostling don't mess w the chip as much. wires should be fine though since i bought stranded ones.

this is what it looks like outside. ive made myself a little guide to make it easier soldering each button to the default pinhole set in the firmware, but again anxious about that part. i'll defo (probably) have it in the center to save on wire. the ground though, that part i found pretty fun on my stream deck.

thing im most anxious abt is the usb wire. im hoping i can find one lying around that i can leave inside to have a dedicated wire since i dont have a breakout. but if it comes to it, i can share the one i use for my drawing tablet. unplugging its gonna be a bitch though.

hope in the future i can also wire a gamecube usb, so i can play on my wii or at locals that use gamecubes.

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.

goddammit.

My SilverLink cable is dead -- somehow either the firmware was lost or corrupted, and it's just showing up as a generic microcontroller to lsusb. Doesn't seem like there's a way to flash it, though I am still looking.

So much for going back to calculator programming tonight.
