I have a problem. When too many things come on my to-do list, I can’t decide what to do next. And then I do nothing. Not good 💩 I have learned something new. I found some discussions about landscape HP42s. Problems: 42s have six soft-keys. They should be somehow aligned with display. But display from …

A bit this a bit that
I finished layout preview for the my PX15c variant: Now I’m waiting for parts to double-check everything. PCB is designed in a way, that it will be used as a back cover too… So all VIAs will be hidden behind the rubber legs, and it will contain some redesigned tables:
PX15C
Yes. This is stuck in my head. Okay. Someone named Paxer emulated(?) old (first in 1982) good HP15C calculator (he has also 16C & 41). Someone posted translated repost on the habr.com, and it clicked: I want this! Author made it exclusively in THT, but shared schematics and hex files! Amazing! Now is my plan …
It is still something magic when 3D sketches are embodied in reality…
First one – button enclosure. I finally pushed my PC back to the wall, so I needed to extend the power-on button. And done this. Very nice! And finally this nice air assist for my CNC3018 laser cutter! So, I need to burn some things now! Oh, also visited some really net scale models shop. …

3D modeling takes me
Obviously, I like to sketch some 3D things. It gives a new dimension to my work… And even more, I like when they are transforming into real things. For example, turntable for airbrush:
3D designing
Found my Selector project! Found a mistake in this project! But… that’s all. I mean, I have done a lot of things, but not electro. So, cut some parts with laser, backed some tasty goods, designed a lot in Fusion for 3D printer. Amazing things.
Books, books, books
I used to read all books in translation. Because I was afraid to not understand jokes or something important. I haven’t found the “Andy Weir – Project Hail Mary” translated, so I read it in English. And this was really amazing! I really hope to see it in the movie theater one day! I’ve immediately …
Some off time from electronics
Way too many projects in my backlog. It is gone to this threshold when I don’t do any of them. Meh, but it happens… So, let’s do other stuff. Like, you know, watching Scott Manley YT videos, reading books (some sci-fi, some work organization), watching TV series (“Sex Education” is amazing!) Off time will give …
I finished “Dune”
“Dune” book was amazing. Movie too. I hope the next chapter will make its way to the screens in the near future.
