So I am going to try converting a Shuttle HOT-613 (Single) into a Shuttle HOT-613 (Dual) by adding a CPU socket and VRM socket since it has the open spaces available on the motherboard. It appears I just need to remove the solder from the holes, then mount the two sockets. I have the connectors (new …

The two digit was easier from a starting point, as proof of concept. Scaling up to 3 digits (or 4+ for that matter) is easier. I also went with a 2-digit to start with since that is what the majority of cases support. (unless a small 3-digit is used) I can find 3 digit (xxx) and 2 digit (xx) …

Ebay has the widest variety and tons of new stuff daily.. however they have extremely high prices. If you want to use Ebay, you have to be very particular and set search alerts -- then hope when your alert triggers it isn't highway robbery. The best way to purchase off Ebay is to scavenge and look …

Well, I designed the turbo switch input incorrectly. It needs to pass through to ground, with the input line to the PIC tapped off of it. I'll make that correction.. don't know what I was thinking. Maybe just too many hours awake -- I usually sleep less than 5hrs a night, with a wife and 2 year old …

Got it mostly working.. I may have to fix some code, because the turbo switch isn't working to swap between values. Weird, because it works in the simulator. I guess I'll have to recheck connections. But, progress.. Edit: it may be the way the Tl866 flashes the chip. I think it is setting config …

Thanks, I was just curious because I thought they looked slightly smaller than the standard 2.54mm (0.1") connector. I'm currently reworking the schematic in KiCAD with a PCB design. Also, making everything through-hole would be much easier for a DIY kit (instead of the PLCC socket for the …

Converted my weird BTC 5100C to a 5-pin DIN instead of the oddball 6-pin DIN. Removed the PIC processor which does some conversion for an unknown keyboard type, moved the connector to the keyboard controller board, then soldered on a metal 5-pin DIN connector.

Thanks for the large nVidia badges, I had been looking for some larger ones before I was going to remake them. :) Here's some more creative labs related logos that can be used in badges. https://imgur.com/Is41ruk.png https://imgur.com/1JcIOHN.png https://imgur.com/LnsPq01.png https://imgur.com/ …

Found 2 cases on Ebay this morning, and they're within 20 miles of my house so I selected the local pickup option to save ridiculous shipping. I think this is the first time this has happened haha. About $35 each. The display on that first case looks interesting! If it's complete you could do some …
