hello

Hiya

how are you

Great, thanks!

It's been a while :D

Since we last talked, I've, hmm... moved house (I live in a four people + one dog commune), started playing the accordion and actually started working with ham radios

hey there @Gwideon

oo nice

I occasionally share pics of the dog in the Discord side btw

She's not my dog but we have an agreement I can do so in moderation x)

cool

I've dusted off an old electronics project of mine (assembled and tested a prototype, had the parts for it sitting around since ages)

What's the project?

custom-random-message-player for plush toys

(like one-off custom plushies)

Oh, neat! What kind of hardware do you have?

@kviiri it's based on a standard-ish message-playback chip and a discrete-CMOS-logic PRNG

@Shalvenay Oh hey, I know some of those words!

How do you program it?

@kviiri it's configured through pin-strap options, basically, no real "programming" involved, just a pin to set whether your recording or playing back and some addressing lines

@Shalvenay Okay, fascinating! I guess it makes sense
