14:33 <whitequark> here's an idea: an adapter from the Glasgow shrouded connector to an FFC connector, and a set of flex adapters like this: https://github.com/fgervais/project-soic8-stemmaqt-mod

14:33 <whitequark> if any of you want to make it a reality, please do, otherwise we'll look into implementing it ourselves

14:34 <whitequark> you could do a lot of interesting variation, e.g. the one for I2C flashes makes the most sense soldered on top, but for SPI flashes you might actually want a switch on there and an interposer, for trivially easy in-circuit programming

15:07 <d1b2> <xabean> basically "I wish I had this for the wifi ap hacking I did just now"

15:08 <d1b2> <xabean> that's approaching the bin of minipro TL866CS adapter dongles I have, heh

15:09 <whitequark> we've never designed anything with flex yet, so we'd have to learn a bit first

15:10 <whitequark> but it's not complicated, and we can probably find a local CM to get the prototypes done

15:10 <whitequark> especially if some interested party pays for the development ^_^

15:12 <d1b2> <xabean> just had a thought: could a glasgow + external PSU + adapters do "high voltage" programming of AVRs? I know AVR support is already in there.

15:12 <whitequark> there are 9 AVR programming protocols

15:12 <whitequark> and the high voltage one is very different from the serial one currently supported

15:12 <whitequark> check out the docstring

15:12 <whitequark> it has references and everything

15:12 <whitequark> https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/blob/main/software/glasgow/applet/program/avr/init.py

15:13 <d1b2> <xabean> lol thanks discord for transliterating underbar to asterisks

15:13 <whitequark> that's Matrix

15:13 <whitequark> * `https://github.com/GlasgowEmbedded/glasgow/blob/main/software/glasgow/applet/program/avr/__init__.py`

15:13 <whitequark> should be better now?

15:14 <d1b2> <xabean> all good! I got to it by chopping off up to the avr directory.

15:15 <d1b2> <xabean> thanks, and holy crap all nine are incompatible with each other

15:15 <whitequark> that's not as bad as PICs

15:15 <whitequark> where our estimate is in the low hundreds

15:16 <whitequark> you know things get bad when the act of counting the programming protocols in itself becomes difficult

15:18 <d1b2> <xabean> one could say, cursed.

15:18 <whitequark> very much so

15:19 <d1b2> <xabean> ok +12V on the ~RESET line, that's what I had hoped/guessed, so transistor/mosfet to switch +12V controlled by glasgow, and glasgow talks to the other pins at normal voltages

15:19 <d1b2> <xabean> neat

15:20 <whitequark> yes

23:52 <d1b2> <esden> That looks so yummy! 😄
