I did try β€œringing” the Addmaster 01 Hotline number – but strangely no one answered. So I repaired and restored this vintage 1972 Addmaster calculator myself. It uses an early gas discharge β€œPanaplex” orange display. #VintageElectronics #VintageCalculator #Panaplex

I'm displaying 3D mesh shapes in this C# app on this repaired/restored #VectorScope from the 1970s. Combining new and old - a match in electronic heaven. #3Dgraphics #programming #electronics

Transistor checking using the 1970s made, and the more recent homemade. Can you guess which one is newer? #Tridendifier #TT144 #Electronics #NPN #PNP

Great for testing rebranded #Z80 chips from China.

Did I watch the FCukup this weekend? Of course not! Instead, being an uber-geek I built this Z80-MBC2 board and revisited the groovy 70s computing era. Definitely a nostalgic trip down computer memory lane. #100DaysOfCode #z80mbc2 #RetroComputing #cpm #digitalResearch

Just repaired and restored this 1973 Sinclair Cambridge Type-2 vintage calculator. It uses a TMS0801NC calculator chip by Texas Instruments which requires -10V and -15V supplies since it is a PMOS device. #Sinclair #SinclairCambridge #SirCliveSinclair #RetroComputing

Forget #ChatGPT and Python! Back in 1993 we used C++, 5ΒΌ floppy disks, and a lot of blood, sweat & tears to train a neural network. https://t.co/PM9wmy2dxh

The Bailey Borwein Plouffe (BBP) algorithm for calculating Ο€ was discovered by Simon Plouffe in 1995. Check out https://t.co/NZfUZxqMyp to see how well it performs. #pi #bbp #algorithm #coding #javascript

Finally go around to having a go programming this smart TTGO T-Watch using PlatformIO and C++. My code does nothing fancy, just a simple watch designed to prolong battery power and synchronised using an NTP server. #lilygo #TTGO #TWATCH #PlatformIO #ESP32
