First Revision of the Front Panel Guide

Submitted by alexios on

More front panel work has been done. There's yet another revision of the front panel artwork and yet another revision of the front panel schematics. I've split the front panel schematics into the two obvious components: one is the front panel controller card that connects to the system bus, and the other is a huge board with all the LEDs, their drivers and their connectors, as well as a the switches, their debounce circuitry, and a tiny amount of logic that only pertains to the front panel itself.

Celtic Knotwork

Submitted by alexios on

This was one of those flash obsessions that won't let go until they've forced you to give them form. I don't like keeping them inside (I always need the room for the next one that'll inevitably come along). I've always liked Celtic knotwork anyway.

Menasat Font

Submitted by alexios on

This is a font and associated TeX package to typeset Menasat in the standard, left-to-right, top-to-bottom orientation (there are others, but they make life very difficult). Making the font description itself was remarkably easy. METAFONT makes it very easy to draw letterforms, especially when emulating writing implements, which I was.
