I don't think so

Intro Console gameplay is returning after a long quarantine. There has been a lot of discussions about monitors and lag reduction codes to compensate for monitor lag. This code is designed to display game-side latency information on screen. The reason I wrote this code is the following...

I haven't worked on this app in a really long time. That said it's all open source so if you have some programming knowledge you could do it yourself. https://github.com/JLaferri/ChallongeMatchDisplay

@DRGN Yeah MCM is super cool. I think though the goal of what I developed is more for a quick development workflow. Lets me develop codes in multiple files using a code editor with an ASM linter and generate code strings, to test them very quickly. Sounds like the workflow as I'm making a lot...

I quickly put together this project to solve a problem I was having while developing codes. I was finding it really annoying, every time I made an ASM code change, having to copy my new code into CodeWrite, set the address, click the arrow, and then copy the contents and replace the correct...

Alright I committed revision 1.1 of the board which is just revision 1 with the issues fixed... or so I think. I also got rid of the jumpers/shunts since I don't think anyone will be interested in experimenting with a photocell.

Unfortunately I didn't. I don't have a board handy and I also my multimeter is back in Florida. It's probably safe to assume 5K. Also I realized the connections on the current Eagle file are currently not quite right I think. I'll try to fix it up this weekend but I'm moving so I might not be...

@Shank- I found an older version of the eagle file... I also remember some of the problems the first version had. There were some components that weren't connected and there used to be a mux on the board which I removed. I started making those changes again but it's late so I stopped. I still...

3: Don't short this, only one of the two (2 or 3) should be shorted at any given time. 5: I would say just go with a 5k value here but I'll also try to double check in the meantime. Even if the value is incorrect I don't think anything will break, think it's just that the light values will...

Hey Shank. Looks like it's coming along pretty well! 1: Should the photocell or the light sensor go here? It should go on the back, yes? Does polarity matter? When I first designed this board I wasn't sure if I would use a photocell or a light sensor. I ended up opting for a light sensor. The...

Yeah I do agree that through hole components are more friendly to newer solderers and I'm totally cool with there being a through hole version made. As far as the Eagle file is concerned, you're right – it's not there. I think I may have actually lost the most recent version... I'll try to look...

Personally for SMD soldering I'll use a reflow technique with tweezers. Add solder to both resistor pads, place resistor over pads with tweezers held in left hand, use right hand with iron to reflow the solder onto the resistor. It's good to then go back and add a little bit more solder (and as...

Yeah the order was probably not entirely accurate. It's often cheaper to order a bunch of resistors than a small number, that's why some numbers probably don't add up. It's also good to have spares too in case you lose one. As far as SMD is concerned... you kinda get used to it. SMD resistors...

1: Yeah, in it's current form factor without a case I figured a bigger board would be easier to hold. Ideally it would be optimized and put in a case of some sort. I just didn't really have the time or desire to get it to that state. 2: Agreed again. I guess I wanted it to be portable and it's...

Hello potential lag tester! This is an extremely long overdue post but I guess it's better late than never. What feels like an incredibly long time ago, I wrote an article about lag ( http://www.meleeitonme.com/this-tv-lags-a-guide-on-input-and-display-lag/ ). Some time after that I refined my...
