designing my next keyboard PCB is going well

EDIT: There's a typo in the alt text. It's supposed to read "Some people, when confronted with a problem, think 'I know, I'll design a keyboard.' Now they have two problems"

@nexvie nah, it's a control board for my microfiche-scanning job at the internet archive

OKAY the text on these buttons is horrible but they're labeled for now. I can always re-label them later, but for now they're just ugly

@acb I pulled them off an old POS keyboard. Something similar to this:

@crenfrow vice versa I think you mean?

Improved the labels.

@ruby control board for a microfiche scanning setup

@listrophy good idea, I'll have to do that for the next version

@foone y'know, I am curious, is the giant stone tablet from I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream just a static image of text, or could it be made into a Death Generator?

Cause if the latter, the potential for comedy is huge

@GeorgeWL good question! I'll have to look into that

GAH. working with the raspi pico just makes me angry because of how confusing and unhelpful it can be. like I wrote some code, which I know works (because I've used it before!) and I copy it onto the device. I reconnect the device and... it doesn't enumerate. it doesn't even error. it just acts like there's no USB there

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

which would normally suggest that there's some issue with the hardware but I can push the BOOTSEL and and reconnect and get it back into programming mode just fine!

and I can flash circuitpython onto it and have that work just fine too

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

so there's something wrong with my code, I guess. what is it? I have no way to know, because I have no errors and no debugging feedback

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

ARGH my codebase has two copies of the known-working code and the code is identical but the CMakeFiles are different and one works and the other doesn't

foone OP , vor 4 Tagen

both compile just fine without errors, but one of them apparently results in a dead pico that can't enumerate

I fixed it (god only knows how) but now the printer won't print.

Hey @foone! It's not the GPL, but does this still count?

@mcc @Ronflaix pretty offensive to masochists
