    VR Gaming with less than recommended specs

    Hey all. I've finally broken out of my 750 ti and upgraded to a 780 ti, which is supposed to be roughly approximate to a 970 in performance. Anyone out there having any success running a VR headset with less than recommended specs? I'm trying to slowly climb up to getting one VR headset or...

    Forum loading very slowly? [UPDATE 3/15/16]

    Use a different theme than subsilver2. Subsilver2 has a reference to a dead domain, so your browser waits for it to time out before loading the rest of the site. Thanks! EDIT: Geb fixed subsilver. All is right in the world again.

    Wowwee robotic toy MiP hacking

    Hey! So my son got this thing about a year ago: He played with it for a bit, and that was basically the end. It's a cool little toy, a self-balancing robot that can balance things in it's arms, avoid obstacles, and respond to visual and audio cues. But, it's sat unused for months and...

    New Atmel 328

    Sorry for the Hackaday link, but http://hackaday.com/2016/01/26/bye-bye-atmega328p-hello-328pb/. Main thing I find interesting is the onboard capacitive touch controller, although it apparently does use a proprietary Atmel library. Other than that, it basically has two instead of one each of...

    robm's PS3p

    Well, I got like five extra PS3s, so I guess it's time to tear one apart and see what we can do with it. Project goals: Features: 10" screen (motherboard is huge.) Internal wired controller (prevent bluetooth/recharging issues down the road) Accessible USB ports for attachment of...

    PSIO - homebrew software from an SD card

    http://ps-io.com/ I just ran across this, anyone here ever tried it? Is it homebrew only, or can you run games off of it? This could make for a really cool, small PS1 portable...

    [WTB] Zip drive

    Somewhat random for this forum, but does anyone have an old zip drive they'd like to get rid of? I have a zip drive with some possibly important information regarding my missing sister. Thanks!

    Wii won't power on

    Somewhat off-topic, as I'm not making a portable out of this thing (at least... not yet,) but I got this Wii a while back that worked for all of a day, and then quit powering on. The power LED on the front won't even come on. I haven't tested the power supply yet as I can't track down my...

    [WTS] robm's miscellaneous stuff - including cheap PS3

    Hey everyone, I need to raise ~$300, so I'm offloading some stuff. 1) Older phat PS3, current firmware. Works with component cables only, HDMI port appears to be bad, will not work after trying the reset trick. Works perfectly otherwise. $60 + shipping. If it's critical, I can find out what...

    Arduino/RaspPi-powered RC car WIP

    HEY GUYS, BILLY MAY- er, I mean, robm here, with my latest project I'm doing with the kids. Project is to power an RC car with an Arduino and a RaspPi, with a sensor for line-following purposes and a camera on the Pi for video feeds. Donor car: Taken apart, a rudimentary control board...

    Post your Arduino/AVR success/failures/gripes here.

    As those of you who know me know, I like building circuits and playing around with microcontrollers. For years I've been building my designs entirely on a breadboard, porting them over to permanent hardware when I'd finished with a project. But finally... just recently... I went and bought one...

    [WTB] Steering wheel (preferably PC)

    Hey guys. Looking to start up some projects again, and am looking for a steering wheel, preferably PC but doesn't really matter, working or not. Looking to buy or maybe trade, let me know what you got.

    Rob's CNC machine

    Well, I'll call this "finished," though there's never really going to be a point where there isn't something to do to it. But, it's etching aluminum, which is all I'd originally intended on doing anyway for PCB milling. There are several improvements to be made, largely in my choice of bearing...

    robm's FS thread

    I'm more or less out of this hobby for now, so my loss is ya'lls gain. There is some non-modding related stuff in here as well. It's all OBO or make offer, so don't hesitate to throw me a number. I prefer paypal, but money order/check is fine. I will also be likely listing this stuff on eBay...

    DOS demoscene question

    I am trying to track down a particular demo from the mid-90's that I cannot seem to find anywhere. It wasn't graphically awesome or anything, but I remember it having music that I really enjoyed. All that was in it was an alienesque head that was more lizard-with- cats-eyes than alien, the eyes...

    WTB/TF: PSP 2001 motherboard

    My daughter got her PSP wet, and now it won't really charge so well. Orange light comes on when I plug both the power cable and a USB cable in at the same time; and as a matter of fact, this is the longest it's stayed on, but the light usually goes back to green after a couple minutes, and when...

    WTB/TF 5-7" screen

    Looking to buy a 5-7" screen for an in-car PC I built. Theoretically, VGA input would be best, but composite would work fine too. Got a few items to trade, if interested (complete NES system, other modding stuff.)

    Nicole Kaitlyn Morrow

    Started working on this about 9 months ago. Didn't really take any work-in-progress pics, sorry, but it didn't take a whole lot of work on my part anyway. Up and running: Sleep mode: Anyway, in all seriousness, mom and baby are doing fine. She weighed 8 lbs 2.9oz., 21" long.
