Pretty big on making, fixing, or modifying my own stuff, when I can! There's always so much more to learn and practice.Profile pic alt-text: A chest bust view of a bipedal, brown, very fluffy warg! Calmly smiling. Relaxed eyelids, lots of white neckfloof, protruding upper and lower fangs, a blepping red tongue, and a big ol' heart-shaped red nose.Also! "Bórquez" is pseudonymous: I chose it because, well, BORK.MakerTube: <a href="https://makertube.net/a/bertohuargo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">https://makertube.net/a/bertohuargo</a>Eventual Codeberg: <a href="https://codeberg.org/BerteBorquez" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"

Prep work is done for two micro-HDMI-plug-to-HDMI-jack dongles, including familiarizing myself the different pinouts of each, plus tinning lots of wires. Now just to solder everything together. These micro-HDMI (or HDMI Type D) plugs don't seem to break out the pins for individual TMDS shields (for 0, 1, 2, and Clock) and Ground for HEAC/CEC/DDC ground; these plugs seem to expect that a device will short them all together to Ground, via a wire that connects the HDMI plug/jack shields. I mig...

If you want to make your own USB-C to USB-C cables for USB 2.0 and USB-PD (which use at least five wires, the fifth being for basic USB-PD communication and plug orientation), but all you have are USB-C plugs that are meant for USB-A to USB-C cables, as the attached PCB only breaks out the standard four USB pins on one PCB side (V_Bus, Ground, Data+, and Data—) -- you can still work with such USB-C plugs, given that they do still break out the CC pins (needed for that basic USB-PD communicati...

I've been doing a fair amount of wire-preparing and soldering lately; currently of five USB3 extension cables, plus one regular USB extension cable.

Happy Friday 13th! [Reclaim today from the patriarchy!] The Zelda II run that&#39;s happening right now on Frozen Fatales is reminding me -- @ClarusPlusPlus, the maker of an awesome Zelda-II-like called Enigma Heart, has been having trouble finding a publisher and is running out of savings, so any help you might be able to extend to her would be excellent! Her call for mutual aid is at https://gamedev.lgbt/@ClarusPlusPlus/116141069953258512 and the listing for the in-progress game can be...

Successfully did my first CRT video input mod! I added S-Video (i.e. Y/C) to a Sony Trinitron KV-20FS12 (manufactured Nov 2000), which comes default with only CVBS (i.e. yellow-plug Composite) inputs. Though I could've directly tapped the jungle chip (CXA2131CS), I went about the method of populating add'l parts, removing jumpers, and changing the service menu IDs to match a KV-20FV12, to enable S-Video input. I used primarily two resources: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/sony-kv-...
