Building a Pi-based MIDI controller / sequencer to access all the features of the Roland ST88Pro I recently bought from @FreakyFwoof

The problem with the Pi is if you want precision timing and the correct baud rate you have to mess with settings, disable devices, possibly rebuild the kernel etc (or go bare metal). My solution: Use a PIC16F688 (which I have alot of) running a tight loop to listen for and queue incoming messages to its UART while using the clock ouput pin as a sync signal. The Pi (in a much faster loop with its interrupts disabled) will poll that and use it to count its delta time intervals.

I guess you've heard some bad jokes about Fibonacci sequences?

Well, this one is as bad as the last two you heard put together.

@Gargron how could you, delete such a masterpiece of a toot?!

"It's alarming enough that people with no history of mental health issues are falling into crisis after talking to AI. But when people with existing mental health struggles come into contact with a chatbot, it often seems to respond in precisely the worst way..."

I was birthday present shopping for my nephew this afternoon…he’s always been obsessed with transport and he’s now of an age where he likes to make and collect models…so I visited #Norwich’s oldest toy/model shop in the Royal Arcade, Langleys.

I know that much of model making scene seems to revolve around the concept of war…but I was still stunned and saddened to see this…

Now that stuff's working again… I'm looking for a new home for these cute fluffs here.

They are a bit more complex to make so they take longer and don't really break even, unless the price would be even higher. Which is problematic as well. So most likely I won't be creating new ones to sell after these. But, if you want to give them a cozy place, they come in cuddle and pocket edition (for traveling): Leggy version and Wolf

Would be very happy to send them on the journey.
