Tonight's fun evening project: synthesizing 74-series discrete logic circuitry from verilog code with #yosys and 74xx-liberty:

Amazing!

libtorrent merged support for #WebTorrent enabling BitTorrent over WebSockets

Great news for scalable video distribution without being locked into centralised hosting services.

Lots of exciting updates for the LKV373A project!

The #blender tracker/stabilizer features take a little time to get the hang of, but the results are extremely pleasing

This is going to be my first video edited in #Blender.

v2.80 is such an amazing leap forward in UI design.

All my other videos have been edited with #kdenlive. Comparing the two, there are some pros and cons, but overall Blender gets the job done very well.

I'm impressed.

His YouTube channel is criminally under-subscribed.

In this video we're digging deeper into the boot-ROM of the IT9919

More on hacking the IT9919. This time I'm digging into the firmware to see if I can manipulate the device behaviour

Ok, I'm seriously impressed with Blender's 3D camera tracking. I think this will come in very handy for illustrating things in the future

The Lenkeng rig is rather pretty when I turn the lights off

More experimentation with the IT9919 media processor in the Lenkeng HDMI capture device. Enjoy!

I'm starting a new series about hacking the IT9919, and this video focuses on reading firmware with flashrom

Today's favorite method of electronics prototyping: Pad Board + Wrapping Wire + SMT Discretes.

Works quite well for simple builds. Reasonable density. Better than strip-board.

PCBs are better of course, but incremental changes are far more painful.

I'm really beginning to love #mastadon - far better features than Twitter.

Just wish the user base was a little larger.
