Найкращий експеримент з LLM

Поки ми тут щоденними проблемами зайняті, люди зробили охуєнній експеримент: дати роботам божевільні інструкції і спостерігати, як бляшанка не розуміє, що робить.

Need to figure out a connector: double row, 2.54mm pins

I've got these two devices by M5stack and Waveshare, and they've got these two-row connectors: 2.54mm female, two rows, one is 30 pins, the other one is 32.

I can't figure out a corresponding connector that would hold well and would be easy to use. I use individual Dupont pins while prototyping and testing, but what would be a connector for the final setup?

I don't need all the pins (my current project needs 4, but they're on two rows), I just need something that is easy to insert and it would hold there.

Ideas for an ergonomic portable setup?

So, I've tested a few devices with Draftling firmware, and there's one fundamental problem: if I sit on the couch or in a chair, it's kinda difficult to place the little screen and a keyboard on your knees. It needs something better:

* It should be possible to work while sitting in a chair (on a train, or, for example, waiting in a doctor's office). A laptop is still the most convenient option here.

* It should be convenient to work at the desk. So, the screen should be high enough above the surface, so that you don't break your neck. Again, a laptop is winning here.

* It should be easy to throw it in a backpack and go.

Photos of some of my devices:

Some devices are magsafe compatible, and some are easy to make compatible, if needed.

I'll add the best ideas to GitHub, with respective credits, if you wish.

USB console output from T-Display P4?

I'm trying to run official examples on T-Display P4, but I never get any USB console output, although one of the USB port exposes an UART interface. Did anyone manage to make it work?

Шукаю помічника в Миколаєві

У мене є благодійний проєкт, ми сумісно з отримачем розробляємо спеціальну клавіатуру. У нього ДЦП і робота зі стандартною клавіатурою виходить дуже повільно. Він живе у Миколаєві, і тому потрібно, щоби хтось був поруч: щось підлаштувати, щось заново зробити, якщо зламається.

Отут отримувач зробив про себе кіно: https://youtu.be/Me2Kc75UiWs

Отут мій поточний прототип, поки що в розробці: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbRMZQ9npKJRurm1\_IdCB4-oDc54Ccasw

Робота за ідею, але дуже цікава. Ще пара ідей крутиться в голові, тобто нудно точно не буде.

А якщо ви студент і шукаєте тему для дипломної роботи, тут просто поле неоране. І я буду радий допомогти в якості ментора.

M5STACK Tab5 keyboard

The keyboard has just arrived, I'll look into the software part. A few things that I see immediately: the blue LED is always on, even if the main board is in deep sleep. It seems to be possible to turn the LED off, but I don't see any details on how to put the keyboard in sleep.

​

Also, once attached, it's difficult to detach. Needs a screw driver to unlock the latches.

​

The typing seems alright, good enough considering the size.

​

I'll keep you posted.

MNT Pocket Reform, almost a cyberdeck

https://mntre.com/reform.html

Almost, because you don't get to assemble one yourself :)

But if you're craving for a cyberdeck experience, but aren't ready to make your own hardware, it would be a nice device for you. I had the opportunity to type a bit on such a device at the Open Hardware Summit that is happening in Berlin this weekend. It's a neat and fully hackable Linux laptop. The keyboard needs time to get used to, but in general, a very nice feeling. And it's a truly mechanical low profile keyboard!

Mellow WiScreen7

This looks like the cheapest Linux-capable device with a screen:

https://a.aliexpress.com/\_Ejz366I

I haven't yet found the schematics, but it looks like it's possible to use BusyBox and build a writerdeck with it. No Bluetooth, but a USB port should be sufficient for adding peripherals.

If someone fiddled with it already, feedback will be appreciated.

My own journey is to find alternatives to Bigtreetech Pad7, which isn't too bad for its price, but a bit bulky, and there's no shutdown button.

Looking for recommendations: small Linux device with a screen, speaker and USB

I'm developing a specialized keyboard for disabled users, and the central element is a Linux device with a screen and speakers:

https://github.com/clackups/smart-keyboard

Work in progress videos, if you're interested: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbRMZQ9npKJRurm1\_IdCB4-oDc54Ccasw

So far, I'm using the Bigtreetech Pad 7 (with CB1 inside), it works quite alright, but it has disadvantages: it's rather bulky, and because the SBC is rather old, it's a second class citizen in the vendor's GitHub. For example, you need to patch the source manually to compile for the board, and also there's no sound in the newly developed kernel (although it's not released yet).

I also tried Orange Pi Zero 2w under Armbian, and the HDMI sound doesn't work, whatever I tried.

Bigtreetech Pad 5 is a neat device, but it needs a Raspberry Pi CM5 for full function, which makes it expensive. Also, no sound onboard.

So, I'll appreciate your input in choosing a device:

-- it has to be cheap, ideally under $120 with the screen, or $50-60 without a screen.

-- it needs to be supported in some popular Linux distribution (many vendors just release one kernel and never update it). Armbian would be ideal.

-- ideally, with onboard screen, or at least, HDMI audio should work under Linux without headaches.

-- at least one USB port for external devices.

CPU performance doesn't really matter, the application can run on potatoes.

UPD: as it's an open source project for the disabled, I'm looking for options that require as little assembly as possible. This Bigtreetech Pad7 is a good example of that, as it doesn't require any assembly at all.
