hkz<p>Look 'ma! No corruption!!!</p><p>Ok the flex is very promising. But far from perfect.</p><p>First of all, I wrongly assumed the pins were spaced 2.54mm, and it seems not. They probably are 2.5mm apart. I did not measure, and it bit me in the ass. The adapter can be assembled, but it doesn't stay perfectly flat, which irks me to no end.</p><p>Second, I should have made it 2 or 3mm shorter. It's slightly too long, makes too much of a bend.</p><p>Third, I should have made it thinner. 0.1mm and not 0.2.</p><p>Too long and thick make it so that it pushes against the connector on the bottom side, making the connection a bit too precarious for my tastes.</p><p><a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/pcbway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcbway</span></a></p>
hkz<p>I retrieved the prototypes kindly sponsored by <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/pcbway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcbway</span></a> ! They all look fine and good quality, especially the flex.</p><p>I'll probably begin building and testing them next week, I guess starting with the interconnection flex for the NES, followed by the second revision of the TK2000 floppy disk interface.</p>
hkz<p>Looks like the package with protos from <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/pcbway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcbway</span></a> got to destination!<br>To my old house, as I am often away these days and I risk missing packages, so I'll just go at my parents' to pick it up at the earliest convenience.</p><p>It's a very busy time: lots to do at the farm in preparation for fairs and summer markets. And this is a good thing.</p><p>And lots to do at my job, and that is because of union-related (or at least what we have here in Italy that can be translated to "union") matters I can't share much about. And this is not really a good thing.</p><p>Still, I finally got home. Time to lay down, read a bit and dream of soldering the protos.</p>
hkz<p>Great, <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/PCBWay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCBWay</span></a> has kindly offered a sponsorship for my next run of boards to print.</p><p>This month I'll have:<br>- New revision of the NoCIC (<a href="https://github.com/hkzlab/NoCIC" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/hkzlab/NoCIC</span><span class="invisible"></span></a>), which adds an optional connection to the CIC-RST signal, so the NoCIC can reset its counterpart in the game cart, plus two resistors to load the data-in/out pins (these should be tested on those weird unlicensed carts that zap the CIC)<br>- New revision of the TK2000 disk controller that does away with bodges and unneeded circuitry<br>- An experimental flexible PCB to use with the NES Slotmaster. This tries to interleave the traces with a ground fill to reduce the noise</p>

Daniel Tufvesson<p>After fiddling with various VoIP adapters and Asterisk for way too many hours trying to get modem traffic to pass reasonably well I decided the world needs a new and open analog phone exchange project! Let’s see how far I can take it.

hkz<p>Wait. What the fuck is happening with <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/pcbway" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcbway</span></a> ?</p><p>The difference in price for the same board with JLCPCB is a bit too high to make me think this is not a problem on their end.</p>
hkz<p>About time to pick this <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/NES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NES</span></a> project back up!<br>I swapped out the defective spring-load cart mechanism with a Slotmaster (<a href="https://github.com/ShawMerlin/NES-Slotmaster" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ShawMerlin/NES-Slot</span><span class="invisible">master</span></a>) that seems to be working great!</p><p>BTW I had this printed by <a href="https://social.chinwag.org/tags/PCBWay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PCBWay</span></a>, and it came out perfect. Also want to thank everyone that printed my PCBs there, as I was able to pay for this print with those credits!</p><p>Next step is deciding which replacement power module to use from <a href="https://github.com/ShawMerlin/NES-Power-Module-Redesign" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/ShawMerlin/NES-Powe</span><span class="invisible">r-Module-Redesign</span></a></p><p>Fundamentally the decision is: do I want to use a PPUDigitizer/RGBtoHDMI or an internal FPGA based RGB solution that brings out analog signals?</p>

I still need the damn ZIF socket. It should arrive within the week, hopefully.

If that passes, it's pcb drawing time!</p>
