Another satisfied customer with my #ASR33 controller board (and free 3D printed answer back drum).

I was wrong about my #ASR33, the re-crimping was fluke, it was random.
I took apart (hard work) to find that decoder clutch was not tripping, so it is not a BREAK at all, but the print drum was spinning on anyway.
Further investigation (by poking with a finger, not ideal in a moving mechanical machine) identified the end stop for the print drum was not catching all the time.
I "tightened" the spring (twisted the loop with fine nosed pliers). After, of course, losing the spring.
All OK now.

Panic for a bit...
I updated code on my #ASR33 driver, and screwed up as it is an old ESP32-S1 which crashed. Simple to fix.
But I figured, why not update to latest ESP32-S3 board. Did that.
Constantly showing break, "constant chatter of NULL characters", well, mostly, occasionally stopped and worked for a bit.
Tried old s/w, no joy.
Tried another new board.
And another...
Fixed old board and put back, still no joy.
Finally, re-crimped the connector.
Phew, that simple. Working again.

OK, call me mad, but I have ordered a handful of these. They'll be on sale in a couple of weeks.
This will be a very specialised and limited market I feel 🙂 and not make me any money (C.M.O.T.RevK again).
Tempted to throw in a 3D printed custom answer back drum with each order though...
It was definitely a fun project though. https://youtu.be/IrIK8SgE8c8
P.S. Self contained Colossal Cave Adventure is included 🙂

#Retrocomputing My first experience with "computers" was as a deaf kid being bludgeoned by computer assisted instruction —spelling and arithmetic drills. Acoustic modem connected to #Stanford. In my first ever #ActuallyAutistic #DirectAction I broke the #ASR33 teletype. "The button said "Press To Start". Pressed it into the chassis. (Haven't played the innocent as well before or since).
