the 32-bit cafe (https://32bit.cafe) is hosting a halloween event for any of you #hobbyist & personal #webdev folks! lots of ways to participate, even if you don't have a website.
Today's acquisition is the heftiest piece of #Dai#folklore (and indeed any #Chinese folklore of any kind) in my rather sizable collection of folklore-related books. Weighing in at nearly 900 pages it is, again, a translation of Dai ballads into both vernacular Mandarin and English. As with all of the books from this #Wuhan#University Press it is a quality work filled to the brim with footnotes (both on the Chinese side and the English, different).
It's also likely going to be a work that takes me months to years to work through.
Such is the life of a time-limited #hobbyist of folklore.
I've got a busted consumer product here that has 2 #Holtek#microcontrollers in it. Either one would be sufficient to run this product (a brushless-motor tower fan), but #MCUs are cheap, so why not throw a second one in if it saves a few centimeters of wire?
I'm trying to determine if there's a #standard#serial#physical#layer in use here to communicate from one #MCU to the other. It's one-way communication.
