Thanks so much, Patrick, for sharing your color palettes for projects like the Open DMG Display. Your palettes really elevated the project. Looking forward to seeing what you create next!
Patrick Adams / パトリック・アダムス@thewolfbunny64.bsky.social · 4w agoThe final update for all my custom #GameBoy palettes is now live. To Libretro, FPGAming, and the retro gaming community who's supported me ever since I began doing this in 2019... thank you all very much. I'm a bit sad myself that it's over. Happy gaming! thewolfbunny64.itch.io/game-boy-cus...
Currently revisiting an eleven-year-old design. The #mouthoperatedmouse still gets some attention on Thingiverse, so I'm giving it an update. I'm finishing the documentation now, and there should be a blog post about the project within the next couple of weeks.

3D Printed Pressure Sensor
You wouldn't download a pressure sensor... or would you? A DIY pressure sensor for measuring relative sip-and-puff strength, built from 3D-printed parts and inexpensive strain gauges.

Happy 25th birthday, Game Boy Advance! To celebrate, I am happy to announce the Game Boy Enhance is FINALLY here! The Game Boy Enhance (AGBM) is a circuit-level recreation of the Game Boy Advance. It uses almost all-new components, but still uses the original CPU - it's not emulation!
New post: A very niche topic for anyone tinkering with strain gauges using #Avia ADCs like the HX717. Covers running multiple HX717s from the same clock and working around undocumented protocol quirks (which might affect the older HX711 as well). www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/260513...

25 years ago, the GBA was released in Japan. Today, I've got a new design to show off :) I'm calling this design the "Game Boy Enhance," or the AGBM. (Thank you White from MGGC for the name suggestion) Check out this overview! www.youtube.com/watch?v=QqZR...

New post on my blog: I built a joystick using a 2-layer PCB and some strain gauges. The #StrainStick works very similarly to a TrackPoint. There's also a small demo software that lets you use it as a mouse by connecting it to a CH32V203 dev board. #OSHW www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/260305...
The Strainstick - Building a joystick from strain gauges
The Strainstick is a joystick which works by measuring pressure, not movement. It can be built from a single 2-layer PCB and a couple of cost effective parts.

I wanted some mounting capabilities on my desk, so I added a SKÅDIS to the side. I used a 36×56 cm panel, which I cut in half. Maybe this is useful for others. You can find the printed parts at: www.printables.com/model/161717... www.printables.com/model/161720...
I did another take on SMD storage containers and added wire storage. Fully 3D‑printable and customizable, you only need an aditional spring per container. There’s even a mount for IKEA Skådis ;) Hope it helps you stay organized! www.embedded-ideas.de/posts/260214...
