[WKRP: Jennifer or Bailey ?]

Bailey of course.  She was not stuck up, or full of herself and she was down to Earth and much lower maintenance.

[Why do demos exist and what purpose do they serve?]

Sometimes they can be useful simply for their entertainment value.

 

To answer your question, I read it.  As for visibility, it showed up in the "New Activity" feed.

Love to see a cartridge BIN of this someday.

Walid,

The next step it to use knives to cut vinyl. Using the TI to make TI bumper stickers! If anyone can figure it out, it's you. Very impressed.

[Or anything with "Coleco" on it]

Maybe the accounting department was staffed with too many former government employees?

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

Awesome project! It's been fun watching your progress along the way.

 

A couple of questions...

 

1) Do all the shields combined have more computing power than the TI?

2) What was the final cost?

3) Will you be taking orders? (just kidding).

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

Nice update!

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

It's getting more and more impressive with every update!

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

You're too modest Vorticon. I've been watching your interfacing projects with awe and amazement ever since you made that kid so happy getting his TI to launch rockets.

 

From back in the day I've always known that the cassette port, joystick port and audio and power out on the back were sorely overlooked and could be all be used together for some truly great stuff. Sadly, back then computers were evolving much faster pace, and then the TI was abandoned and people moved on, and so did my hopes. Who knew that 30+ years later the TI would still be around and that a guy like you would be around to finally exploit all the unrealized potential of a TI console. I'm a true fan.

 

Your starting point with only one temperature sensor is exciting in itself. Once you figure out how to share the data with the TI you'll be 3/4 of the way there. Who knows... if we are incredibly lucky by this time next year your blog might even have downloadable code and instructions for us to construct our own. (No pressure or anything like that though.)

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

Davvel,

Vorticon's become the resident "Interfacing Guru" within the TI community. If it can be controlled or monitored by the TI, Vorticon's your guy!

[Wireless weather station managed by the TI 99/4A - Final]

You bet I'll stay tuned! This looks like a totally AWESOME project!

 

This would be great with an interface to JediMatt42's Plug-N-Play 32K unit. Maybe a 3D case printed up and the controlling software stuck in the FlashROM 99. (just thinking out loud).

[This was pretty-much inevitable]

Excellent.... now you need to PM Vectrex Roli so he does not miss this one.

[Slot car computer control with a TI 99/4A computer]

Oh yes, I totally enjoyed your video and blog entry. In fact I never remember enjoying one more than this.

 

I hope you take another video at the Chicago get-together of this in head to head matches with other TI'ers. I'm betting the TI will win most matches. Sorry guys.

 

Pulse modulation, was an elegant solution to the problem. I bet some model railroaders will be looking into this with keen interest as well.

 

So far, how many digital inputs is the TI capable of tracking in total? Could the software be modified (at a future point) to accept strength values (high / low) to double the amount of input capability?

 

Great job Walid!

I've not forgotten! Things should slow down at work in January, then I'll start over from the beginning (I've forgotten everything already).

I love PCB art! I'll take a 16 X 20 for wall please.

I'd love to see some hacks like this on that 'other platform'.

[Lesson 2: More fbForth 2.0 Fundamentals]

I think my head just exploded (at first glance anyway).

I'll print this up after I get home tonight and try to dive in this weekend.

 

*** EDIT ***

 

BTW - I took your advice and got your manual printed up.

[Lesson 1: Getting to know fbForth 2.0]

Just got done with lesson one, and I find lesson two is already out!

Wow, I'll have to print it out after work tonight. Thanks!

[Lesson 1: Getting to know fbForth 2.0]

Woo Hoo, I'm gonna have a whole three hours worth of time to myself later this afternoon. Sooooo, I'm going to flip some switches on the 'ol TI, sit down with your lesson plan and have me some fun! I'll get back to ya!
