jepler is working on a Pull Request to FluxEngine to add support for the "a2r" flux format, commonly used in Apple II software archiving. Together with open source passport.py, this can be used to bring a copy-protected floppy disk into an emulator. This video shows "Pow! Zap! Ker-plunk! The Comic Book Maker!" for Apple 2. Saved in the a2r format by an experimental build of FluxEngine, converted t...

We were flipping through a cool old book on how computers were made and there was a section on 'core memory'. This is how data was stored dynamically on computers before capacitive-based RAM. Instead of storing a charge on a transistor's gate, the flip of a ferromagnetic core in a grid could store a single bit. Some folks make core memory for fun now - you just need some enameled wire and miniatur...

Before we stock the upcoming TSC2007 resistive touch driver breakout https://www.adafruit.com/product/5423 we have to write and test the arduino and circuitpython driver code. this is me whipping up a quick example - the chip itself is quite simple, just send a command byte and read 2 bytes of data back. we peeked at the linux driver for any insights in case we were missing something, we're used t...
