  1. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned.

    The manufacturer reused pins 4 and 5 for i2c on the cheapest board. I forgot that+kicad gave me no hint

    So now the touch I wired to pin 5 is useless. I can use this PCB without another iteration if I get rid of touch functionality and instead focus on code/personality core loading!

  5. We have a domain now! It doesn't do much so I added a preview of the thing! Kicad generating the model as glb and used Google's Model Viewer library to render it directly in your browser!

  6. Week 0 Progress! The video is from around August 6th and there's been tons of work since!

    Expect week 2 update veeeery soon! If all goes well, it'll be on a PCB

    For now, here's a quick "Hello World" kind of intro video filmed with @layogtima

    Apologies for the awkwardness, it was an extremely impromptu video :3

  7. Experimenting with IIC displays!

    The board driving it is PcbCupid's Glyph C3

  8. This post is a little different from what I usually do - I'm working on a little project for my College Intership and to hopefully present something for IndiaFOSS 2025!

    I'm going to give weekly updates(or biweekly if I get excited!) along with a demo if I can

    Big thanks for supporting this project:
