Ugh autocorrect... changjiang connectors

Maybe CJT (changing connectors)? Lcsc.com carries them and they are similar but not exactly the same as JST

Apple IIc Keyboard by MatzElectronics on Tindie Replacement Keyboard for an early (Model A2S4000) Apple IIc Computer

...I sell a keyboard replacement kit in my Tindoe store: www.tindie.com/products/mat...

Check it out! I love seeing classic tech brought back to life

Happy 50th Apple! I grew up with an Apple //c, then one of the cool transparent Macs, then one of the first Powerbooks in college. We now have M1 and M4s. Every one has just been a solid, dependable computer.

I still have the //c. If you have one and want to restore it... 1/2

Do you just need them soldered up?

Hi! I'm looking for broken Apple II keyboards. I successfully designed a replacement keyboard for the Apple IIc, and I'd like to do the same for other vintage computers. Is anyone willing to let me "rent" a keyboard so I can get measurements? I'd happily send $$ or a prototype replacement.

I'm determined to figure out how to do a 4-wire XY capacitive sensing trackpad.

This is attempt 3.

OMG yes! The ladies at 7-11 know my usual by heart. Two Buffalo chicken rollers and a taco taquito.

My kiddo has a super restricted diet for medical reasons. I just paid $137 for a single bag of groceries. Fuck this.

Thanks!

Which module is that?

I love the ATTINY 16xx and 32xx chips! UPDI programming is super easy, Arduino support is great, and good balance of features, size, GPIO, etc. Also inexpensive ;) I use them a lot in sensor modules as i2c peripherals. Shameless plug: I also sell an ATTINY 3217 dev board on my Tindie store.

I used to look so much like this guy, my students in the early 2000's thought it was me ;)

I put one side of the handle of the crimp tool in a small vice. Then I can use both hands to align the wire and end, then smash the crimp tool closed.

I would have never thought of this. Do you glue this to a container with water/liquid?

Also, if you are into creating 8-bit games, this is a great way to add the ability to connect an HID device like a USB mouse, keyboard, gamepad, or joystick.

CH559 USB Host Breakout Board by MatzElectronics on Tindie Breakout Board for the CH559 USB Host IC

I'm selling this breakout board $5.50 right now: www.tindie.com/products/mat...

I've got a new version in the works, but I need to sell of the small amount of stock I have left of the current version. If you've never played with the CH559 MCU before, it's kind of fun ;) 1/2

Oh I had this and loved it so much! I can hear "mar-ee-o paint!" In my head!

Oof! I feel that pain! Good luck sir!

It's a jig for programming circuit modules. You load a panel of them into the bottom, pull the handle down to press the conductive spring pins into the modules, and it programs and tests 8 at a time with the push of a single button. It's a lot to put one of these together, but its a huge timesaver!

Oh yeah!

That I will try for sure. I was referring to modifying the code so it behaves as a websocket server instead of a telnet server.

I might have to try and dive in and see if I can make that work...but this is very much on the edge of (probably past) what I know how to do ;)

This is amazing! This is the closest thing I have seen to getting a serial connection on an iOS device. iOS doesn't allow WebSerial, so I've been searching for a workaround on and off for some time. If this was a WebSocket server instead of a telnet server, I think it would work. 1/2
