I've got a bunch of attiny22s and a RTC chip and I want to try to resurrect this project on a PCB with maybe a CMOS battery to keep time. Then eventually wire in TRIAC control and dim the entire room (or re-wire my already-LED room lights to DC and just use the (hopefully) built-in LED controller)

The active balancer will allow it to balance everywhere but the top end, so hopefully it'll improve the charging speed since my top end balancing only happens at about 50mA. Will update when I have that setup.

In other news, it turns out that knocking over a battery and snapping off the charging plug is a great way to smoke a barrel jack. I'm just glad that I had the thing already open for this testing or it'd have sucked to replace.]]>

Currently it's able to read in a .bmp file and convert it to ASCII. I don't feel like doing whacky fractional scaling yet so I'm working on other file formats.

My question is, should I just use the file extension as the file type (and verify the file signature is in fact that file type), or should I try that, and if it fails try to deduce the file type from its signature.

The second approach is more robust, the only problem is it's also much more difficult.]]>

I'm currently working on a Gameboy Emulator called Shatter. It has some accuracy issues, but is able to run some games like Pokémon Red fine. It doesn't have sound yet, and no link cable connectivity, but those are in the works. Eventually I wanna be able to connect it up with something like GBPlay.

I'm also working on an ASCII renderer written in CUDA creatively called cudASCII. There isn't much there atm, but it's mainly to practice CUDA programming, and potentially replace the ASCII renderer in ASCIIPlay.

Finally, I haven't really started on this much (or at all), but I am thinking of maybe making some sort of antenna to pull data off of a weather satellite. Nothing's set in stone yet, but maybe using some code from the Open Satellite Project to grab some weather data from GOES.

If any of these sound interesting I'd be glad to work with someone, or if you have other side project ideas that are interesting. I think sharing ideas here, bouncing off of each other, and showing progress/results could be cool.]]>
