Projects
I saw a need in MathPad again so I made another board revision.
MediaCow Touch 2
The resolve I expressed in the last blog post was not really shown this week. Minimal work has been done on the project and I must do something to change that.
MathPad
I brought back MathPad, revising the original 2022 design. This device would still be useful for what I do, often finding myself having to open a software calculator for quick maths. MathPad was actually created because I wanted to see a circuit design project get done after seeing little to no progress on MediaCow Touch 2 in 2022 while making something useful.
The project is very simple compared to MediaCow Touch 2 and it would likely take less than an afternoon to redo the design in KiCAD. It wasn't until April 20th that I finished the design. Nearly all of the same components will be used, with the main difference being that there is now a Type-C port in place of the Type-B port. I blindly copied from the original schematic but it all seems to check out.
The MathPad redesign will be the first hardware project to bare the new full CTCL logo.
Personal
Things got bad quick on April 15, 2025, but was later resolved a couple days later.
