Thur 11/30 Stream: Let's correct some things on the Mega IIe rev 3 design!

https://youtube.com/live/JioWtT54z_8

Mega IIe: An Apple IIe-compatible computer build around the Mega-II chip from an Apple IIGS.

I streamed this project for a couple of years.

Here's the final video.

@48kRAM No judgement! I didn’t even pay attention to form factor. @adistuder showed me a cool project he made with a view finder, so I wanted to play with one of those.

@48kRAM @adistuder lol no no no. compact VHS!

@adistuder It was maybe $15 shipped. So I figured I'd find something in it that I like.

Related to Supercon, look what arrived today, @adistuder ...

@sad_electronics The biggest sin is that the polygon isn't filled in. ffs.

@adistuder Oh. I mis read that! I thought you meant 3 amp output. You meant the fixed 5V output, right?

@adistuder You might have the camera ready for that! I only tested mine to a few hundred milliamps, so far.

@adistuder Looks good. I hope you find it useful. I've been using mine this weekend to turn-on some USB-powered boards!

@freemo Beause it is aweasome! (I saw one, but do not have one... yet) Nathan said there are 100 (or so) on order, so they should be available for sale soon:

This talk on restoring the Apollo Guidence Computer given by Marc is the one I looked most forward to… and it did not disappoint! https://youtube.com/curiousmarc #HackadaySupercon

These surfaces borrow concepts from Orgami to fold into different shapes.

Check out these “Robotic Surfaces” presented by Jesse Gonzalez. The bubbles are individually controlled. (You can see some demos here: https://gonzalez.ink). These are built with a layer-by-layer design with a PCB as a base. #HackadaySupercon

Pathfinder (prototype)

Pierce Nicols shows off Pathfinder: A robot prototype that sails. It started with laser cut plywood, 3d printed parts, and RC model components. Then we learned about what changed. #HackadaySupercon

Dr. Prutchi shows how armatures can participate pin deep space exploration by receiving signals from spacecraft. (and compares it to watching blades of grass grow, lol.) #hackadaysupercon

Oh yeah. THIS GUY talked about some weird Apple II project at #hackadaysupercon.

Nathan Jones is expertly explaining how last year’s #hackadaysupercon badge, the Voja4, is more than just a blinky toy—its a full computer.
