I wanted to understand one specific thing about Axis TV on my Android TV box. During setup, the app only asks for a 16 digit activation code. It does not ask for a server URL or account credentials. I wanted to see how it resolves the backend from that one input.
Please keep in mind that I am NOT a professional, and wouldn’t have attempted this on someone else’s device.
keebx is a keyboard currently in the making. You can check the engineering blog below to see where I’m up to.
Hardware principles, prototyping notes, and firmware work.
Prototyping is done on a simple breadboard. The display is the first thing I started working on.
I plan to have quite a few devices in my keyboard: a screen, a knob, RGB lighting… I haven’t done the final count, but I’m sure I’ll need more GPIOs than the ones available on the Pico.
Don’t be confused, this project is about making a full-fledged keyboard, not a keypad. The keypad detailed in this page is made for prototyping purposes only.
These pages are related to hardware principles that one should keep in mind when building a keyboard.
Older writing preserved with its original publication date and assets.
As of today, it's now possible to write and publish comments on each of my blog posts. This website is hosted on gitlab pages; it's statically built and there is no backend server running, nor any database. In this context, having a comments system implies outsourcing the comm…
This blog was recently (re)made from scratch using sveltekit. Vite is used unther the hood to add HMR capabilities.
Big thanks to Clément for helping me do this and making the python script.
