The USB-C battery pack has arrived; let the testing begin! At first glance it looks like the battery pack is working great. I had the machine fully running on battery power. However, there are some issues… The battery is supposed to switch on automatically when a load is attached via one of the two USB-C […]

The original DIY laptop design used a small UPS with a home-made lithium ion battery pack. This works, but has a potential safety issue. There’s no way to guarantee that the batteries you buy are authentic and of high quality without doing your own testing. Poorly made counterfeits could spontaneously ignite or explode, and that […]
ZitaFTP Server v1.19 has just been released. It brings us a step closer to dropping the “pre-release” label with the following updates:Overwriting a file wasn’t truncating it back to 0 (i.e., overwriting with a smaller file wouldn’t change the file size).

The current 14″ panel is 18-bit, and I can see banding where there should be smooth gradients. In brief, here’s a list of the specifications that […]

It’s a side project of a side project…The video above shows me getting the first temperature sensor up and running with an Arduino […]

Here’s a quick summary of what’s new in v1.18: The quick configuration wizard now has a logging settings page (which I forgot in the previous version) The main UI also has a logging settings page Various bug-fixes […]
Almost all modern GPUs use the Single-Instruction Multiple-Thread (SIMT) architecture. With SIMT a group of threads (or wavefront) execute the same instruction in lock-step. Apart from making it a pain to program, it also means that when threads execute different code paths (e.g., if/else), the GPU must execute each branch one-by-one instead of simultaneously. This […]
