Just a short little #blog update today - with all the good news going on around here, and the usual springtime rush of fresh energy, I'm going to be resuming work on #PETI, the homebrew #VirtualPet I started work on back in 2019.

There's just one itty bitty problem: the development branch is about six months stale and I have no sweet clue what the hell I was up to from back then.

I will be disentangling that during lab hours on my twitch channel tomorrow.

I screwed up so hard.

Does anyone in #EmbeddedDev have the document "Programming Sharp Memory LCDs"? It was a document they themselves created for the obvious purpose and no longer host.

I thought I was keeping all my datasheets locally but I can't find these ones.

I've just pushed an update to my #blog!
In this post:

• Get yourself some updates regarding the state of PETI, my ongoing virtual pet development project!
• Patch rants with unusual brevity about decisions made by major corporations.
• True facts about Patch's Starfield, Fallout 4, and Dwarf Fortress playtime statistics in Steam.

So among the things I did yesterday that I was putting off for fear of their complexity, but which later turned out to be quite straightforward, was writing a custom export module for the font editing tool we've been using for PETI. This new exporter lets anyone use fontedit to spit out a font in a much more standard format, which can then be edited with any additional tooling of their choice which supports it.

It's an unfortunate bit of yak-shaving, but it should get me unblocked on creating the new glyphs I needed to finish the evolution features and get the next update out to you guys much more quickly.

(As always, this toot is the anchor for the comment system for the blog post it links to)

So my DIY virtual pet development kit is nearly sold out! Once this design does sell out, I'm going to hold back on restocking until I take a second pass at the design for the next revision of the hardware - I'm going to offer THAT as PCBs only or as an all-parts-included kit!

Get yours today, because I suspect if you don't you won't have a chance again until nearly christmas by the time I get around to ordering everything.

So, you have a cross compile toolchain and you want to call ldd on a cross compiled binary.
How do you do this?
#Linux #embeddeddev #crosscompile

So there's going to be a longer blog post coming out about this soon, but I'm delighted to announce that I finally got finished with listing the Development Kit boards for PETI, my custom #virtualpet hardware project, on Tindie.

There's links throughout that take you to the project page on my site and to the repo which includes a full service manual.

It's the perfect gizmo if you want to design your own pet around the same microcontroller or follow along with the project itself.
