    Weird Greaseweazle Issue - FIXED

    Final Update: I ended up just getting a cheap USB 3.0 card with internal headers and plugging the Greaseweazle into it. Now it works just fine. Still don't understand what changed and why a USB 2.0 port doesn't work, but here we are. FWIW I'm using an AMD B650 chipset board.

    Weird Greaseweazle Issue - FIXED

    UPDATE: Figured out the issue and hoo boy it gets even weirder. Apparently, there's something wrong with my USB 2.0 ports not running "fast enough." On pure chance I tried running "gw bandwidth" which led to the thought of connecting it to a USB 3.0 port and trying to write an image. It worked...

    Weird Greaseweazle Issue - FIXED

    I have two Greaseweazles, a v4.0 and v1 (the one based on an STM32 "Blue Pill") Both have been working flawless for a while now except for recently. The one I used internally in my main Linux system (USB 2.0 header to port, short micro cable, PCB in a printed enclosure) has recently run into a...

    Sony VAIO PCGA-UFD5 servicing (rubber pad, recap)

    Nice!! Yeah the rubber on these older treasures is becoming a problem. I have several little black "footprints" where my AST 486 was sitting for a while. 😒

    Putting a 486dx in an Intel overdrive slot

    Old timer here, the Overdrive socket (and Overdrive processors) have an extra pin. It's this extra pin (pin 169) that actually disables the onboard CPU and allows the one in the socket to take over. Without the extra pin, both CPUs are essentially active at the same time and conflicting. It was...

    Yup, seems to be back up. I was able to login at least.

    Fantastic! Glad you're unblocked and moving forward!

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Honestly, I found PlatformIO to be significantly simpler to setup and use to compile here. It took care of the necessary library versions (thanks to the entries in the platformio.ini file). It really was as simple as I listed, and this is coming from someone who never touched it before. I had...

    Repeated on my Mac (running Tahoe), no issues. Installed VS Code Installed PlatformIO IDE through the Extensions Manager Downloaded Eric's github repo Unzipped this file, renamed the folder to just smartportsd Opened the folder in VS Code (File -> Open Folder) Clicked on/opened the...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    Alright, test done, compiled without incident and PlatformIO/VSCode downloaded the appropriate version of the greiman (not AdaFruit) SdFat library. I did the following: Installed VS Code from this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/ Installed Platform IO per their instructions here...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    It looks like you have the newest SDFat library version. How I know is this line from your logs: |-- SdFat - Adafruit Fork @ 2.3.54 EDIT: The oldest available now is 1.5.1 though from the looks of things, which is much newer than what Eric was using originally: I'll try back leveling to this...

    SmartPortSD - lets build it!

    You're using too new a library and Arduino IDE. The original code was written for Arduino 1.8.X and the FAT32 library from 2021. Newer IDEs and libraries depreciated many of the functions in the code, hence the "Compilation error: use of deleted function" error you're getting. Eric's more...

    IIci exhaust fan duct thingy

    In this case probably not. Flipping the fan would likely conflict with the power supply's fan. By having the fan set to pull and exhaust, you're building a wind tunnel effect via negative pressure in the case, a lot like how server chassis are setup.

    Neat design and use case!
