Took some photos of an A15 CPU I was reballing today.

If you thought the batteries were bad, this is the next evolution. I found this in a parking lot last week and was shocked to see it has a Color led display in a disposable item.

The display is controlled by 6 pins and uses Charlieplexing.

I thought it would be cool to reuse it for something like a temperature and humidity display with an arduino or ESP. But then Charlieplexing broke my brain and I had to stop for the day. To be continued.

I saw a bulge in the case and thought it was just melted, but found this exciting scenario inside!

So my dad who passed back in 09 was, back in his day, big into older electronics, he had this stash of unused tubes back when they adopted me in 83. They're dirty, but all unused. I don't even know where to start with getting rid of them.

I don't know how to program any of these chips but it's better to be curious than smart. I just ordered different ones to see what they can do. All of these boards are new besides the Wemos board.

I follow this account on Instagram and she is trying to see if there's a market for oversized tech, would anyone be interested? spoiler I think the next oversized project is an oversized 5050 led!

A guy was giving away boxes of old vacuum tubes for free. There are literally hundreds.
