Now my Train Simulator #trains have a Driver's Reminder Appliance (DRA) as part of my ongoing physical #simulator project. Note the slight delay in the LED extinguishing, because the illuminate/extinguish instruction is coming back from Train Simulator. #diy

Another component of my Train Simulator physical #train controller: dimming the backlight of my air gauge from the dashboard of a (virtual) Class 801. #diy #simulator #ee

I finally got around to writing up a blog post about my first master controller prototype for my physical Train Simulator controller. It's far from finished, but it's a start! z80.me/blog/controlle… Train Simulator #simulation #gaming

I did not appreciate just how massive #uktrains' speedometers are. #trains #trainsimulation

In my ongoing quest to build a physical controller for Train Simulator, I'm building a module to fully control real UK train speedometers, including the ATP LEDs and alphanumeric status display. #trainsimulation Train Simulator #uktrain #simulation

Huge props to Tim Keller for helping me turn my cardboard prototype into a spiffy set of laser-cut UK Class 80x-style door controls for #TrainSimulator. Train Simulator #trains

In my ongoing quest to build a realistic controller for Train Simulator, approximating a UK #Class800, I've added a Driver's Reminder Appliance to my setup. The hardest part was figuring out exactly what button the real #trains use! z80.me/blog/tsc-dra-1/ #simulation

Time for more buttons and switches in my #Train #Simulator controller setup, which can only mean starting up my assembly line and making more of my CAN bus controller boards (z80.me/blog/can-contr…). #ee Train Simulator

It has been two years since I last posted one of these: if you (or your kid) needs a graphing calculator this year, here's what I recommend: youtube.com/watch?v=E_wajE… #backtoschool #edtech #calculator

Another Projects of the Month: Cemetech's programmers worked on impressive graphing #calculator and computer software in July. Check 'em out: cemetech.net/news/2024/8/10… #edtech

In my ongoing quest to build a #train #simulation rig, here's Part 1 of how a real po wer/brake controller from a UK Class 365 passenger train is making its way into my rig: z80.me/blog/tsc-pbc-p… Train Simulator

People waiting for an NYC->Boston flight make me irrationally angry, when travel from NYC to JFK + security + boarding + the flight + deplaning + travel from BOS to Boston is not only infinitely worse than just sitting on an Amtrak #train, but is also slower.

Christopher Mitchell We agree, Christopher! Thanks for your support. 🚆 💙 👍

Today in rare #calculators that have joined my collection: a TI-Nspire CAS+ prototype, similar to the TI-Nspire CAS that was released in 2007. I'm glad Texas Instruments Education reworked the center "joystick" before release. datamath.org/Graphing/NSpir…
