SEAGATE DOCKSTAR PLUS
Plus you can’t chain smoke nearly as efficiently as this mechanical smoking machine can so don’t even try. It’s a dumbell that folds down from the handlebar tube when you’re not on board.ĭo you like the song Iron Man? We think it’s better when our friend Nikola takes part. You can just make it out in the image above. If you have one of these devices you might want to crack it open and tin the exposed copper so that it will hold up over time.ĭon’t want your Segway to flop over when you park it? Follow lead in building a kickstand for the self-balancer. It seems that Seagate left a portion of the ground plane unprotected and it reacted badly with the shielding metal.
SEAGATE DOCKSTAR CRACKED
cracked open his DockStar to find corroded copper.
SEAGATE DOCKSTAR SIMULATOR
He’s also filmed a demo video that we’ve embedded after the break.Ĭontinue reading “Mac SE Reborn As A Server And Mac Emulator” → Posted in Mac Hacks Tagged arm, AVR, dockstar, emulator, floppy, seagate, usbĮver wondered what’s going on inside that chip as the program executes? Now you can take a look at the die itself with this visual gate simulator for the 6502 processor. Things like a chemical cleaning to return the original color of the classic case, and building a converter so that the peripherals are USB compatible are just some of the pleasures awaiting you in post. There’s so much going on with this project we just can’t cover it all here. When you insert the floppy, the pogo-pins raise up and contact the protoboard, connecting the SD card to a Teensy microcontroller. The drive itself has had the read head transplanted for some pogo pins (hey, we saw those earlier today). Instead, he’s added an SD card slot and some protoboard in the space for the read head. It still takes floppies, but there’s no magnetic media inside of them anymore. When the Mac is off the Dockstar still runs as a server.īut one of the best parts is the floppy drive. But what fun is a dead machine housing a headless server? To add to the fun he included an ARM processor running a Mac emulator, along with all the bits to make the screen, keyboard, and peripherals work. He had been wanting to do something with the Seagate Dockstar and decided it would find a nice home in the Mac. The retro hardware had a bad mainboard thanks to the corrosive properties of a failed backup-battery. cooked up an amazing hack by resurrecting a Mac SE using a Dockstar and ARM processor. Continue reading “Whistle Controls For You Home Electronics” → Posted in home hacks Tagged dockstar, fft, linux, outlet, remote control, RF, whistle Classic Game Emulation On The Dockstar It uses a Fast Fourier transform algorithm to process the clip and pushes commands to the remote control after processing is complete.
In the video after the break explains that he’s using a Dockstar along with a microphone to capture audio input.
The additional piece is the use of embedded Linux to detect and process whistled commands. The technique is simple enough that we’d bet you can get this to work with an ATtiny2313 and the V-USB project but that’s another story. The board you see in the image above is the remote control that came with the system, but that chip is an ATmega8 which he added to give round-about USB connectivity using a serial-to-USB converter. He’s using a set of RF remote control outlets to switch power to various devices like a desk lap, or a turn table.
SEAGATE DOCKSTAR HOW TO
But do you know how to make the electronics around you react to your whistled commands? Well figured out a system that allows him to assign a whistled command to various home electronics. You know how to whistle don’t you? You just put your lips together and blow.
