Other / Lego CNC/3D printer/plotter 2 on instructables
« on: May 16, 2012, 02:57:44 am »
So if you remember my first printer, and how excited I was, then you'll know I'm even more excited for this! It's the second printer, and it's a CNC now too! Awesome! Well, please vote for it, and try and get the word out so other people can vote for it!

On a side note, sorry I haven't been around much.  Omnimaga loads super super super slowly from my school, or sometimes not even at all.  It took a few minutes to load from here, too.  I guess I need more internet points.  Anyway, sorry I haven't been around much.

Go Omnimaga!

Oh, and did I mention there are 3D printers up for grabs. Yes, I'm excited. A grid of all the emoticons Omnimaga has wouldn't be enough to express my excitement!

Casio Calculators / Re: Who Wants to Help With a TI83+ Emulator?

We do not have enough information about the prizm to do full emulation of all the ports, and sh3 and z80 are most definitely different beasts.  This would be difficult to say the least.

It would be difficult, but it would also be awesome. :D
True, but just saying something like "I can't, but who wants to work with me on it" is usually a terrible idea, and usually doesn't go over well.  If you learn C to a high degree, and know how the 83+ works to a high degree, I wouldn't mind it.

I can program both the nxt and the computer.  No, grayscale shouldn't work on the nxt.  It's not really made for games like that.  What are you programming the nxt with?

Might I suggest, if you want to use it as a controller, to use the usb routines from lejos, and write a computer program that emulates itself as a virtual key-board.  You can configure the buttons on the nxt to respond to certain key-presses.

My main question, though, is why you want to do this.

We did some malloc tests on cemtech for the prizm, topic here in C, and found that the total memory allocatable is 131060 bytes, or 12 bytes shy of 128 KB.  I'm not sure about allocating variables on the stack, though.  This is only for the heap using malloc.  So we can allocate more than 61KB.

Do you know how to program in C first of all? And I mean more than a simple "Hello World".  Do you know what an #include'd file is?

After making an sh3 cross compiler, and getting everything set up, documented here (http://prizm.cemetech.net/index.php?title=PrizmSDK_Setup_Guide), you post here saying it worked somehow on the first try.

If it didn't work, then of course, post errors.  Oh, hey, what distribution are you running anyway?

I'm learning C++! I could actually continue this project, but I don't want to either at this point.

EDIT: Not entirely true, I'm in a transient state between learning C++ and knowing it, but that's just semantics.
EDIT2: It's really weird when someone posts in this topic, and it's announced in OmnomIRC...

Well, considering both RS and farnell ended up having a "register your interest page", and weren't actually selling it, yes, it ended miserably.
Heh, I didn't think of it that way, but now that you mention it... but hey, we'll get it in a few months instead of a few years, right? :D

As of now, not a single person that I know of has confirmation of owning a prizm.
You're tired. ;) I own a PRIZM! :D (And a certain community is obsessed with them because they own PRIZMs! :D)

The only guy I know of that might own one paid an extra $20 from element14's site, which has a month or more lead time.
Yeah, I was a bit puzzled at first at the price inflation, but I guess that's why.
Yeah, I was a bit tired, thanks. I edited it.  I own a prizm too, actually.  The price inflation has something to do with importing or exporting goods.

Well, I guess they ran out of stock real fast. Seems they didn't made enough for the launch. Also which one is better between the two stores?

here's something i found on elemental14's threads:

The Pi people can't be blamed. They did the best they could. 10,000 boards will have cost them about $250,000. That's a huge amount of money for six people to gamble - and until about 0800 on Wednesday they didn't KNOW how it would go.  Getting a million boards produced for the launch would have been a huge gamble, they could easily have been left with 900,000 unsold boards that needed to be dumped.The surge of interest might have died down shortly after release time and the number needed could have been only a few times the original batch size.
This totally makes sense. The guys behind the Pi didn't had any way to predict how much people will buy it at first launch and how much boards they needed.
I saw a small and fleeting update that they had changed from the original 10,000 boards to how ever many were bought would be how ever many were made.

I also saw a recent twitter update about how they are working on rev2 because of a small hardware bug.

Also, please don't triple or double post, especially not in so short a time period.  There are rules about this, if you click "rules" at the top.

They're not ripping people off.  In fact, they say they are putting all profit back in to it to make more boards.  The problem is their launch failed miserably.  Too many things were done badly, and their partnership companies didn't do what they said they would.

you know that you can store values to the xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax variables in order to force change the screen dimensions for a program, yes?

yes, technically, one of the things I'm looking into while disassembling the OS is the ability to have a GBA emulator.

Casio Calculators / Re: Prizm IO Hardware - What is known?
« on: January 30, 2012, 03:59:04 am »
So far, everything that I recorded included both channels, that includes what I have done and what the OS has done.  The last posts that I read about IO stuffs were from the middle of last year.  Also, if there's a topic on disassembling the Prizm OS, then let me know as that could greatly help me as I can see what the OS does :-)
As for disassembling the OS, that's what I started on, but I need to update my prizm, and analyze the USB of it which takes time that I currently don't have.

Well, for TheStorm's SDK is not complete, as we do not know or have documented all the routines.

Also, I can't find a topic about Epic Coaster.  What do you mean test the platform type?
