  • SIMH – Old Computer Emulator
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 29 Sep 2023
    It sounds like there was a config option available to disable the signature addition to the image file ( https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1059#issuecomment-108689... ). I could see a benefits for having an embedded image signature for preservation and corruption detection issues.

    I don't think complaining about the design is toxic, but recruiting uninvolved people on twitter, and harassing out of ban certainly is. Also reading the bug thread it seems the person with the issue wasn't the same as the one who instigated the harasment. (https://github.com/simh/simh/issues/1059#issuecomment-108675...)

  • Multics Simulator

    Perhaps, however, SIMH (http://simh.trailing-edge.com/, https://opensimh.org/) also calls itself a simulator rather than an emulator. Six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess!

    1 project | /r/linuxmint | 5 Apr 2023
    I looked into this recently too, given the large amount of instructions at https://github.com/simh/simh/blob/master/0readme_ethernet.txt I decided it was too much bother for now.
  • Pico_1140: A PDP11/40 emulator that will run Unix v5/v6 on a Raspberry Pi Pico

    In case anyone was wondering:

    > The de facto emulator for most old computers is Simh https://github.com/simh/simh. The size and complexity of the individual machine apps is such that a direct port to a memory limited system is not feasible.

  • GCC gets a new frontend for Rust
    6 projects | /r/programming | 26 Feb 2023
    VAX has its die hard fans, and the historical value of the VAX and what it did to shape our computing world can't be overstated. As both a learning tool and a way to preserve history, simh and VAX emulation are wonderfully accessible. VAX running modern NetBSD does an excellent job illustrating where performance regressions happen and where bad assumptions are made. None of these are compelling reasons to target a new toolchain to a classic architecture by themselves, but the interest is there.

  • Which electronic kit should I get ? Absolute beginner
    1 project | /r/AskElectronics | 10 Dec 2023
    I learned from looking at example code in the Arduino IDE (a really good and free code editor https://www.arduino.cc/en/software). The Arduino IDE allows you to add more boards (like ESP32, ESP8266, Tiny etc.) so you're not limited to using only their Arduino boards.
  • Robot Tour Software Problems
    1 project | /r/scioly | 6 Dec 2023
    Based on what I am seeing from the Keystudio website, the software you need is just the Arduino IDE. This can be downloaded from Arduino.cc for most operating systems, including Mac OSX. You may need to install support for other boards or install libraries to make it work with the Arduino and hat included with the kit.

    Download and install the Arduino IDE. After installation, open the IDE to the first sketch.
  • I am a noob at this pls dont roast
    1 project | /r/ArduinoProjects | 25 May 2023
    Well, your first course of action would be to download the software - https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
  • How to begin
    1 project | /r/arduino | 13 May 2023
    You can download the IDE from here.
  • arduino leonardo
    1 project | /r/arduino | 13 May 2023
    You will need to download and install the Arduino IDE to do that. I would suggest the Legacy 1.8.x IDE or the Arduino Web Editor (which will still require that you install some software on your computer to help transfer the program to the Arduino).

    Wiring: You're on the right track with your wiring assumptions. The red wire should connect to the 5V pin, the black wire to the GND pin, and the green wire to one of the analog input pins (A0-A5) on the Arduino Leonardo. For example, you can connect the green wire to the A0 pin. Programming the Arduino Leonardo: To translate the handbrake input to Assetto Corsa, you'll need to program the Arduino Leonardo to act as a USB HID (Human Interface Device). This will allow your computer to recognize it as a game controller. First, you'll need to install the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) on your computer. You can download it from the official website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
