@unixb0y what are you up to these days?

@unixb0y back in EU and on your PhD?

@33MHz yessir! visiting NYC soon for a week though. 😉
also hacking on a #nabu pc right now if you know that machine... :)

@unixb0y what are you trying to get running on the Nabu?
1218610
@33MHz I'm not at the stage of writing my software for it, yet. :D
So far I've replaced the PSU and fan (both were running on 110V) and got it up & running using the existing software for it.
Then I've made my own RS422 to serial & USB adapter.
1218611
@33MHz Right now I'm trying to port someone's Raspberry Pi Pico software to an ESP32-S3 so that it can act as the internet adapter for NABU.
It just doesn't feel right having a MacBook sitting there just to serve a 64K binary to NABU. xD

@33MHz Long-term, I want 2 ESP32S3-based "adaptors": one with internet access that pulls software from the cloud ("as it was intended") and the other one that makes it a boring old offline computer that executes code from an SD card. ;)
1218615
@unixb0y aha. :) Does the os/software it comes with allow for writing for it, on it?
1218613
@33MHz It comes with a super basic OS that cannot do anything but load binaries from an "Internet Adapter" (it was a separate box) and execute that.
There is a CloudCPM for NABU already, though. Inside there you can write NABU software, *on* NABU.

@unixb0y sounds like fun! Does it come with its own monitor? Or can that be configured?
1218619
@33MHz There is no dedicated monitor for it, but it has RF and Composite output. :) Only 40-columns but I'm getting a pretty good picture, rather happy with it!
1218628
@unixb0y a fixed canvas is a lot easier to program for, too. ;)
