wrongbaud on Twitter: “Happy Friday! Looking for weekend reading about hardware hacking? JTAG, I2C, SPI, UART: …”

From many Fridays back: [Archive.is] wrongbaud on Twitter: “Happy Friday! Looking for weekend reading about hardware hacking? JTAG: https://t.co/PWSXXDqlcj SWD: https://t.co/vG1cTacfFM I2C: https://t.co/V3WAL5sS5e SPI: https://t.co/V4lvqVlyXE UART: https://t.co/PjGNMLnegG”:

Last days until the May Contain Hackers 2022 camp; the badge project can still use some help on the software side: Python apps, FPGA, documentation, etc

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/07/11

After yesterdays post (which I will be editing to add some more pictures) MCH2022 badge sneak previews from tweeps that attended the Bitlair 20220709 Sweatshop (@MCH2022Camp) now a call for help:

The Badge Team needs volunteers helping them on the software side.

At the badge event, the version 1.0 firmware was flashed so the badge will function perfectly fine during the event, but it would be cool if more features are available that attendees can get when upgrading at the event or downloading from the hatchery.

There is a virtual environment to test and a GitHub projects page with open issues to get started.

See the links below on how you can help:

MCH2022 badge sneak previews from tweeps that attended the Bitlair 20220709 Sweatshop (@MCH2022Camp)

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/07/10

The MCH2022 badge has an ESP32 (with WiFi!), a RP2040 and an FPGA next to a full colour TFT LCD, buttons (including joystick!), LEDs, LiPo battery, USB-C connector, micro SD-card slot and more (see below) and SHA2017 badge compatibility. How cool is that!

There is a wealth on information for this at [Wayback/Archive] Badge.team (some 22 repositories and counting: [Wayback/Archive] Badge.team: search for repositories containing mch2022).

Good starts are [Wayback/Archive] MCH2022 badge | BADGE.TEAM and [Wayback/Archive] Software Development | BADGE.TEAM (yes of course you can write your own software for it and even distribute it through the [Wayback/Archive] hatchery.badge.team Hatchery).

Below are lots of tweets including some of the Twitter retrospect that organically grew (just like the sweatschop event) on Twitter the day after.

From the original announcement [Wayback/Archive] May Contain Hackers 2022: Presenting: The MCH2022 badge! , this is what hardware is in it

Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “I plug computers into my computers…” is indeed a PCIe KVM board based on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/05/10

Last month, I wrote

Hopefully the picture below is the board of a PCIe KVM board based on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE). At least it seems to looking at the thread started by…

The thread was by Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “I plug computers into my computers…”.

Jeff followed up on this much sooner than I expected with [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “Hey look! That computer inside a computer thing is real now! It’s the PCIe version of the Blicube KVM: …”

ThinkPad T440p Touchpad Swap: Installing Correct Drivers – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/02/08

[Wayback/Archive.is] ThinkPad T440p Touchpad Swap: Installing Correct Drivers – YouTube

One of the most common upgrades for any Haswell (xx40) series ThinkPad is to replace the awful button-less touchpad (sometimes referred to as the ClunkPad) with a T450 touchpad that has the proper buttons for TrackPoint users. However, getting the buttons to work properly on xx40 hardware can be tricky – particularly if you are running Windows 10. In this video you will see how to get drivers installed that will allow you to use the TrackPoint as if this were a T450! As always thanks for watching! Some of the guides I used for this video:

I have edited the link so they show forum post titles, added way-back links, and added some crucial information:
