Hi,

Is there a Real Time Exec for the ESP32 series?

I mean something that will support multiple tasks and inter-task communication?

On the 8051, 8085/186/286 I rolled my own but thought there might be something off the shelf I could use?

Thanks

Update:

I suppose there are pros and cons to using a standard Exec, I found that for instance, using the Intel version tired you to their processors and sometimes components so I wrote my own exec in assembler that was easy to port to other processors like Motorola or Fairchild.

For single core operations there's only really one "Magic" Part and that's saving and restoring the context the rest is just some cleaver code, tricky but much easier when you have done it multiple times in the past.

I will probably end up using the ESP in built in version mainly because of the N core stuff and because I don't know enough about the processor at the moment

Hi,

What is the official name of the Power Socket (Female) and the Plug (Male) on the Mac Pro 5,1?

I'm building something that needs its own power and want to copy the Mac Pro.

Cheers

Hi All,

Got my Cardputer today, but still waiting one a USB cable and Micro SD card, so can't do much. I played around with the things I could do but soon got stuck by got know what keys to press to get it to do something. I figured how to select on the main menu by using the arrow keys and the return key. But that's about as far as I've managed to get.

Is there a guide I can look at that explains it?

Thanks

Hi,

I can't find the Docs for the ESP32 Instruction set/Assembler. I've something that has some of instructions like LD and ST but nothing about CALL and PUSH/POP and other instructions that I am familiar with from using older Microcontrollers. I found some same code that uses CALL but can't find anything that describes the full instruction set.

Is it available anywhere?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

... I found an old floor sweeper robot that I bought a couple of years ago.

I was wondering if it's worth taking apart and using as a basis as for an ESP32 project. Is it worth it? I was thinking it might make a cute robot and already has the power system, motors, wheels, sensors and chassis. I think it has wifi as well as an infrared remote control unit and a charging station that it's supposed to return to when it's about to die. It was useless as a cleaner and the software just didn't work.

Any comments/advice appreciated

Hi,

I saw a post somewhere that said to always connect the Cardputer to a WiFi nextwork hotspot on you mobile phone, never to you router. Is this the case? I can see that there is a risk involved but I was wondering how safe are the Apps on M5Burner, are they virus scanned for Malware?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I'm wondering if I could connect a Label Printer to the Cardputer ADV? I have a Brother P-Touch H110. It uses little spool tape and the printer itself is great. however the rest of it is the pits! It's big heavy and either uses 6 AA batteries or a clunky power adapter. I would love to build my own.

Things I would love to do with it are:

1. Store and Retrieve Labels, edit and copy.
2. Have font files you can add to so as to get new/more fonts.
3. Be able to preview the label before it is actually printed.
4. Be able to print a batch of labels in one go, leading to...
5. Minimalize Tape usage (which of course Brother don't/'won't ever do!)

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I've got a Cardputer ADV on order, it should arrive next in the next couple of days.

One of the things I'd love to do with it is explore Shortwave radio? Is there a module and software I can get to achieve this?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I'd love to dump Trakt, the only reason I haven't is because I have 1000's of watched movies and shows already marked as watched in Trakt.

Is there anyway to transfer all the history to anther tracking service?

Thanks

Hi,

I have an old Mac Pro that I'm running OpenCore/Monterey, I'm happy with it, but recently App's have stopped getting updates, so I think it's time to upgrade to Sequoia (with OpenCore).

But first I need to backup my system. From digging about and asking, I've been told that Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper are the best tools for this?

I have a 500GB SSD as my bootdisk that I'd like to backup to a 2 TB HDD, I would also like to be able to boot from the 2 TB HDD if I need to. Both these drives are internal SATA, is this ok or do I need to use an external drive?

1. What is the best tool for this. SuperDuper, CCC or something else?
2. Once I've updated to Sequoia, if I need to back it up, can I use the same tool. The reason I ask this, is because there seems to be different versions of CCC between Monterey and Sequoia.
3. Can I backup from an internal 500GB SDD to 2TB HDD. What about the other way round? e.g. 2 TB HDD to 500GB SDD.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

I was thinking that wouldn't it be better to have the Debrid handlers as separate AddOns rather than built into the individual Video AddOns? You would then just download the AddOns for Debrid services you have, TB, RD, PM, etc.

I can see upsides and downsides to this though, the main upside is that, if you wanted to add a new feature that is only available in TB, you only need update one AddOn, also you would only have to authorise it once for all the AddOns, rather than in each AddOn.

Downside is another thing you need to download and install and keep up to date.

Comments?

Hi,

When local scraping, do the Movie/Show files get read or can I use a proxy with the same name?

Put another way, do the local scrapers just use the file name to Scrape or do they read other meta data from the files?

Thanks a lot

Hi,

Is the ability to mark a file as locked/unlocked available to the API?

Hi,

I'd like to make a suggestion, that if possible, a way of setting the TorBox "AirLocked" status be added to POV, RedLight or any other appropriate Add-on.

I'm guessing the best place to add it is to the Sources window, e.g. Right Click, "Mark as AirLocked in TB".

I suppose you need a way of unlocking too, a bit like Mark as Watched/Unwatched but Locked/Unlocked

You can achieve this in the TB Dashboard, but it would be cool to be able to do it from a TV

Edit: Thinking about it more it might be better placed in the TB Debrid management section?

Hi,

I'm about to backup my OC/Monterey system using SuperDuper. I'd like to back from an Internal 480GB SATA SSD to 2TB SATA HDD. I'm doing in preparation for updating firstly OCLP from V1.4.3 to the latest and then upgrading to the latest supported MacOS version.

Is this possible or does the backup volume need to be external?

Does the Destination drive need to be the same size as the Source?

If not, will the rest of the HDD be unusable as far as MacOS is concerned?

Can I boot and use the HDD?

Can I Copy the HDD back to the original SSD and return to where I started?

Thanks for any tips, advice or comments

Hi,

I've been exploring TorBox, I saw a feature called "AirLock" which keep files in your cache, but couldn't figure out how to use it.

I think I just found out how to do it, assuming the file is in the TB Cloud, find and select it in the Dashboard and click the 3 dots on the right (...), select Edit from the menu, it will take you to a page where you can mark it as "AirLocked", as well as changing the filename. Be sure to click the "Edit Download" button to save the changes, you should see the Airlocked data in your user stats

Just thought I'd share!

Hi,

I noticed a new feature with TorBox, you can Airlock a file and it will stay in the cache forever or until you un-Airlock it. Anyone used this yet? How do you mark a file to be Airlocked?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm currently running OC/Monterey on a Mac Pro 5,1 with an RX580 GPU. I'm happy with Monterey, but some Apps have stopped being supported so I guess it's time to upgrade. What is the highest version of MacOS can run on this setup?

I am running OCLP 1.4.3, not sure of the Open Core version and I'd like to bring this up to date too.

Are there any instructions for updating OCLP/OC?

Can I install "Over the Top" of Monterey or do I need to do a clean install on a new drive?

Any advice or help greatly appreciated

Thanks
