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).
New features added to the Open DMG Display. There was a significant code contribution by tonyjih (https://www.facebook.com/tony.jih/) which adds:
Localization with support for English, Chinese, and Japanese
A more polished UI with improved appearance and many refined details
A UI simulator for easier interface development
Updated palette handling
Pudding as the default custom logo (might be changed in the next release ;)

The Open xGB Display (OXD) is a TFT driver board for Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance systems with USB video output. It is designed as a modular platform for display mods and supports a range of RGB TFT panels.
Tito from Macho Nacho Productions did an awesome job covering the #OpenDMGDisplay in his latest video. He shares his experience building the ODD and dives into the details of its features.
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.
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:

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!
