ChatGPT was asked for comment and said "no u"

because of Rayleigh scattering

lol that sounds super weird, I was trying to be quiet and then bsky normalized the audio

here's two work in progress pics from earlier today, I replaced all the coloured wires with the IDC ribbon cable wires, much nicer! (for some level of nice)

tomorrow hopefully we're gonna have bleepy acid again

... and then we'll see if I can actually port all the stuff I built in JS the past month or 2 😅 I just saw the performance of this demo effect take 55% of one core (I thought it was way less) and now I'm a little worried --- but we will see :-)

once I made sure everything works I'll probably try to make it sturdier somehow, then hotglue it shut and never think of these wires again.

well except I do have to make another one, as I promised one as a birthday gift to a friend ... but I guess 3rd time's gonna be even better

(which makes sense because I continuity-checked every connection except the last two buttons or so, cause I was tired .. hm this might also have been why it took longer than I thought hehe)

tomorrow I'll test the other stuff (audio, pots, buttons), but this is very promising

ok good to know :-) in that case I might just cut it off right after the second connector

... in which case this whole exercise has mainly been a weird hack to making an ESP32 dev breakout board, kinda :-)

yeah makes sense :) someone else said it's SCSI, cause IDE has 40 pins

I just looked it up, it's to prevent it from being insrted the wrong way so it's always the last (or first) pin .... that would still work cause you need 38 ;-) but good point to know about and not be surprised by
