I'm looking for a pixel artist for an #ArtCommission to help design a logo for an open source project. Send me a DM if you're interested!
Today I learned that coin-operated gas meters used to be a thing in the Netherlands

Keyboardio doesn't have a corporate fediverse account yet, so I'm posting this from my personal account:
We're fine, but, uh, our bank failed this morning.
We're using that as a pretext to hold a giant 72 hour sale on keyboards, caps, switches, & accessories.
Use discount code BANKRUN for 20% off everything we sell at https://shop.keyboard.io.
That includes the Model 100, Atreus, keycaps, and switches.
@th Also, we should start doing a craft night.
@th Consider your modem managed!
Just when I thought I had defeated modemmanager and recovered my USB serial devices, a new (old?) challenger appears!
cant sleep, ACPI will crash me

Found a method to see inside some chips, without having to unmount or destroy the chips.
Best part - the method only relies on lightly modded off-the-shelf cameras and lenses.

@chris_gammell Depends on the item?
It would be ideal to generate the insert plates automatically from test pad lists using OpenSCAD as part of the board release process.
The printed test jig seems fine- even with the wrong size plunger hardware (oops) and lazy standoffs, the test pins make contact. I put x marks on the PCB insert plates- those can be swapped out to use the jig to test a different board.
@th did you wake it up? I think the ice40 might put it to sleep after loading the bitstream

@jwildeboer Thanks for the link! Those are really close; ideally though I'd like to have the whole root hub appear on the virtual machine, so that I can diagnose low-level connection issues (I'm developing the USB device firmware). PCIe passthrough + PCIe USB cards is probably closest to what I want, but seems like a hassle to maintain.
I'd really like a way to attach a USB host controller (not just pass through single devices) to a virtual machine, to make remote USB device development more realistic. Anyone know of a device that does this, even just for USB 2? The diagram shows a possible way to do it
Protip: If you're designing cylindrical hardware for 3d printing, put some flats on it so that you can use a wrench to tighten it down.
