1.8mA(Image.jpg) Not sure how long that will run real world, as once the voltage drops below a certain number, then it will power down, but... 170mAh battery / 1.8mA = 94.4h 94.4h / 24h = 3.93 days Now assuming that there wont be enough power to po*snip* |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 Rychan mentioned the one alternative I had forgotten about, does anybody know any other alternatives to Patreon that are legit? |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 I only subscribe to one patreon, I don't really care if anything gets posted on there or not. It's a gesture of appreciation for how active and helpful that person has been in the community over the years. |

SpinalWatch7th August 2023 Oh yeah, plenty of ram for this. Currently I have 2x 18x168 bytes for the screen then I transfer 16 lines at a time because that's weirdly better for spi speed than sending the whole screen in one go, probably something to do with buffering the serial *snip* |

SpinalWatch7th August 2023 I take it you have enough CPU to pre-buffer a screens worth of commands in RAM first? I wish I had more time and inclination to do something like this |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 I'm a bit of a shithead, as far as my own Patreon goes, if I'm honest. I currently have 6 patrons, but what the heck am I supposed to post to Patreon that I'm not already posting for free on my site? I kinda settled upon the ''They're*snip* |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 No credit card here. I might subscribe to some teaching related creators if I could. But chatgpt might be able to turn itself into any personality as a video or audio stream and be fully controllable in the not so far of future. That might be earlier than *snip* |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 I do have one remaining monthly subscribestar subscription $5 and used to have a few more to get some rather special interest stuff. It's nice money if you can get people interested I guess. |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 I only ever did Patreon once for one thing and for a month, then downloaded ALL of the videos and promptly canceled my account. Personally, for my stuff I would not use it. I am not giving Jack Conte a cut of my stuff. That is what I liked about Bandzo*snip* |

SpinalWatch7th August 2023 Can't, the screen only updates in full horizontal lines, there is no buffer memory on the screen at all. The data goes as follows... 1. send write command (1 byte) 2. send line number (1 byte) 3. send full line data (18 bytes) 4. send 'end'*snip* |

SpinalWatch7th August 2023 Neat idea! I'm not sure how doable it would be, but could you maybe make it gridded instead of lines? A grid of 16x16 squares (or even 8x8, or maybe even just 4x4!?!) that it could compare, instead of lengthy lines. It's more likely that the ri*snip* |

Patreon Gripe7th August 2023 Just subscribed a minimum level of *!APOUND!*5 a month to someone on Patreon ''to access all their patreon posts''.. But all their actual vlog posts (which make up the majority of their Patreon content) were for the higher *!APOUND!*12 a month tie*snip* |

Worst site glitch I have ever seen...7th August 2023 Yeah, that apple Ecosystem is one that I'm not too much of a fan of, esp when it comes to repairability, ditto that for chromebooks and ''the cloud'' |

Worst site glitch I have ever seen...7th August 2023 Yeah, the whole Ecosystem thing is such a pain in the arse, some times. I mean, I only got an iPod Touch for Xmas one year, to play Angry Birds. Then it was ''How can I code for it'', followed by buying a Mac Mini, then an iPad ''for dev-test*snip* |

SpinalWatch7th August 2023 OK, added a second screen buffer, this is used to compare the previous frame. If any horizontal lines are different, then they are added to the update list. Potential power / time saving doing the following... 1. Check for changes on each line. 2. Copy *snip* |

Worst site glitch I have ever seen...7th August 2023 I remember it occurring just after lockdowns started and work decided I had to work from home, it was very much a ''HOW IT THE HELL DO I FIX THIS!!!'' affair, not having a Mac to test on and, well, it was very frustrating, esp with everything else *snip* |
