Re: Modular VMU [In Progress]

This is a cool little project. It's almost a baby tricorder! Module ideas off the top of my head: Camera. IR Camera? A universal remote control with an IR emitter and receiver. Multimeter, or low frequency oscilloscope. AVR or pic programmer. Clip it on to the target circuit, and burn with a stored ...

Re: So many boards my head hurts! Help please!

Yeah, this sounds like a pretty complex goal. If I was gonna tackle this, I'd take (at least) three projects I'd suggest start simple.

Re: Game Boy Null Kit

Looks like the screw holes are sized for M2.5 screws. Those should be readily available through McMaster-Carr (for Americans) or Amazon small parts. That said, they should also accommodate a #4-40 SAE machine screw if you are stuck on that sort of thing. If you are comfortable drilling, you can use ...

Re: Apple Pi Baker

FWIW, I've used etcher" to image SD cards on a Mac, and haven't had any issues.

Normally I'm pretty happy in a terminal (I'm a vim user), but it's nice to have a tool that will keep me from nuking my primary drive :lol:
