I did something similar once but for an SSD1331 display and in Javascript. The beauty was that Javascript and C share similar syntax, so it was stupidly easy to port the C driver to a web-based simulator.

I LOVED our Chrysler minivan. It got totaled when an ice chunk that fell off a semi in front of us ripped a hole in the oil pan. That thing hauled just about anything we ever needed it to, and with a small utility trailer it was unstoppable.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work in that sliver of overlap. But the economy is stacked against my company because 1) we don't really do AI, 2) our primary customers are schools, and 3) we assemble and mfg in the US, but many of our parts are imported (tariffs).

If you have a non-stick skillet, you can just use that on the stove. I have an old one just for this that I don't use for food. It's not perfect, but it works. Watch it closely and lift it up slowly from the heat once the solder wets. Its better than hot air for the really fine-pitch stuff.

I mean, why not write some code to filter out the "please", and give a canned response to "thank you"? If it uses too many resources maybe just do something intelligent about it? But instead, you choose to whine and tell people to be less kind? FFS.

Damn that looks good!

I haven't tested it, but it should work well. ;) Plus my board uses the larger memory and larger pin count version of the ATtiny, so you've got room to stretch!

Thanks! It was truly serendipity. And with all of the supply chain issues at the time, it was about the only thing that had consistent stock, which turned out to be a huge bonus.

We are having to spend time in hospitals because my FIL is sick. If you don't mind my asking, what kind of masks were you wearing? Surgical? N95?

Exactly. I'm trying to get something as cheap as I can that can at least visualize audio frequencies. Seeing if I can do a proof of concept for an ed-tech idea.
