You wouldn’t want to – Intel WiFi cards are really not designed for AP use, and usually perform really poorly as an AP. Low range, and low station counts before all devices start slowing down, regardless of their actual data usage.

Comment on Making the Gameboy Link Cable Wireless (Packet based) by Alex https://www.insidegadgets.com/2018/12/09/making-the-gameboy-link-cable-wireless-packet-based/#comment-312105 Mon, 19 Feb 2024 23:47:28 +0000 https://www.insidegadgets.com/?p=11960#comment-312105 In reply to Mark.

The ESP8266 has an MCU on board that is reprogrammable so you can use it but power consumption of it is pretty high so battery life will be affected

I think is possible tbh. I’ll try to work on it.
Something like that can be used imo

What do you think about?

Comment on How to use a 32KHz watch crystal on an ATtiny85 by Mike https://www.insidegadgets.com/2011/10/08/how-to-use-a-32khz-watch-crystal-on-an-attiny85/#comment-312099 Sun, 30 Jul 2023 19:22:06 +0000 http://www.insidegadgets.com/?p=2222#comment-312099 Perfect.
I’m using a parallel programmer, STK200, and had to use -i 100 as an avrdude switch.
I’m using this to test xtals before soldering them into clocks. Probing the xtal directly can alter the rate slightly and is also difficult after assembly, in my case. This will help me weed out the bad ones.
NB: Not arduino just AVR-GCC + make on linux.

Hi,

You’ll need to contact the place of purchase as we didn’t make it, we just opened it up.

Yes that’s right, they both shouldn’t be low and you could simply leave out the pull ups too since the Arduino will drive them. I forgot why we did it like that at the start but in the end, that was removed as well as the 470 ohm resistors
