hackaday a day

Post date: Feb 29, 2016 5:42:3 AM

It looks like I can post a project a day for a little while! This contest is forcing me to improve my project documentation, and even finish a few projects. That's always a good thing.

I copied my pi2hd44780 project to Hackaday yesterday. I re-did the Zero mounting: it uses the jumper wires for support instead of a mounting plate. It's much simpler to build, and thinner. I also added a bunch of pictures and re-wrote the instructions. It looks like someone could actually build it now!

I copied my ps2pi project to Hackaday today. I re-wrote the code a bunch first: it now uses a device tree overlay to configure the GPIO pin. THAT was a bit of a learning curve! Sometime I need to figure out pinctrl too, then the module won't have any hacks left in it. Oh, and I need to include code so that the dividers can be set in config.txt.
