I’ve finally got round to implementing this in pypickit. The Microchip Pickit2 device has a built in logic analyser mode available in its Windows application. I’ve implemented support for it in my pypickit project, here. The program is called “analyser.py”. I didn’t want to have to deal with drawing bitmaps or anything in a library designedContinue reading “Pickit2 Logic Analyser in pypickit”

Merging developer keystores on the Kindle
It is obvious that more than one person will want to write homebrew for the Kindle. However, with my (now defunct) adqdevkeys-0.1 package, it just copies the file over whatever is already there, so we can only have one set on a device at one time. Annoying! Therefore, I’ve just written a small Java programContinue reading “Merging developer keystores on the Kindle”
Switching to Virtualbox and getting Snow Leopard to work in a VM
Originally I had been trying to get Snow Leopard to work in qemu-kvm, and it kind of does; I had even thought of contributing to that project to make it work even better (e.g. the e1000 emulation does not work under Mac OS X). However, I decided that I simply don’t have the time: IContinue reading “Switching to Virtualbox and getting Snow Leopard to work in a VM”
HTC Desire HD
My wife bought a new phone the other day, an HTC Desire HD, which means she now has a better phone than I do, grrr! Anyway, within a few hours of receiving it, I had rooted it, removed the security checks, and installed an engineering HBOOT thanks to the helpful instructions over at Cyanogen’s wiki.Continue reading “HTC Desire HD”
ipsec-tools / racoon support for Checkpoint VPN-1 proprietary XAUTH authentication
I posted about this a while back, and submitted a patch to the racoon developers list. However, I never heard anything back about it (despite other people asking about it now and then). Is that project actually dead or something? Anyway, since nothing seems to be happening there, I’ve just packaged it up into anContinue reading “ipsec-tools / racoon support for Checkpoint VPN-1 proprietary XAUTH authentication”
Liveview PCB front
Hi, just posted an updated high res pic of the liveview PCB front: The illegible chip at the bottom middle has “E3030 Z312E” on it
redbus update
Did a spot of redbus development this evening, one politeness fix, one bugfix and one really annoying thing. Politeness: silence the stop data update alarm. It’ll still warn you when updates are available, but it shouldn’t make a noise/vibrate/blink lights etc. Bugfix: Searching for locations from the map view now works again. Really annoying thing:Continue reading “redbus update”

Liveview case clips
To help people out, I’ve drawn the approximate size and location of the plastic retainer clips holding the liveview together in red on this image. I used a swiss army knife to lever it open blindly 🙂 The prongs of the clips are on the side with the display, locking into the plastic baseContinue reading “Liveview case clips”
Liveview teardown
OK, ok, I couldn’t resist any longer, I had to open the liveview up. Here are the pics (click for larger ones): Front view: Rear view: Front PCB closeup: Rear PCB closeup: It seems to be rather annoyingly common with this sort of thing to include extremely blurry photos which are no use toContinue reading “Liveview teardown”
