I'll be giving a talk at #dorkbot #bristol on Tuesday 2026-06-09 about the Pisan-O-Matic musical bicycle wheels that we built back in 2009 https://dorkbotbristol.org/ @dorkbotbristol

Someone at the office gave me a fancy reconfigurable RS-232 cable the other day. 10 DIP-switches at each end, and a schematic on the back of the plugs to help you work out how to configure them

2026-05-07 #mayke 7: soldering some bright red sockets to a blue solderable breadboard PCB. Wiring up the sockets in a parallel bus arrangement. Arduino Nano for scale

An 8-bit computer smaller than a grain of rice: the Atmel (Microchip) ATtiny10 in SOT23-6 package. White cylinder on left of photo is a grain of basmati rice

2026-05-04 #mayke 4: soldered two microcontrollers to SOT23-6 break-out boards. One is a PIC10F322, the other an ATtiny10. Solderless breadboard for scale

2026-05-02 #mayke 2: soldered an STM32F405 microcontroller in TQFP-64 package to the Igloo64 prototyping board. 0.5mm pitch pins

Went into Bristol today and saw the Jack-in-the-Green. He sets off from the M Shed, passes through the city, and ends up at Horfield Common
