Blinking LED enthusiast. Lover of old technology. Won't leave anything with electronics alone. Tinkered enough with the Raspberry Pi Pico and the ISA bus to happen to make a retro sound card emulator (https://github.com/polpo/picogus).

Happy Pride! Semi related, here is the giant Ikea rainbow pride bag that I’ve used to take all PicoGUS orders over to the post office.

@polpo that's right: these soundcards are GAY and there's nothing you can do about it.

In my abundant free time, I want to make a phone app optimized for taking photo or video of CRTs, with quick access to shutter speeds of 1/25, 1/29.97, 1/30, 1/50, 1/59.94, and 1/60 of a second. I've tried so many camera apps with manual settings and each one has annoyances or too many settings.

@foone @polpo that is a very good question... even if there's some delay inherent in it, you can calibrate that out

@foone @vxo @polpo microphone sensitive enough to pick up flyback noise?

For the latest issue of Make Magazine, I wrote a feature article about #PicoGUS! The online version of the article is now up. Come read about my beginnings as a teenage #demoscene fan, how I was introduced to the GUS and how I decided to make an emulator for it so many years later. https://makezine.com/article/technology/computers-mobile/democratizing-the-demoscene-picogus-brings-the-90s-tracker-sound-to-the-masses/

@foone and @h0ffman get shoutouts for inspiration in the article. And big thanks to @ishotjr for editing and sheperding my way, and @inversephase for making the all important social connection. 😁

@polpo @h0ffman @ishotjr @inversephase thanks for that. I'm always happy to see something I suggested get picked up and turned into a real thing!
