Modding Things. Breaking Things. Making Things.
Minor Kupid Update
I know I’ve been fairly quiet about Kupid for some time. I’m still working on it, but I’ve had some trouble overcoming an issue with missed button presses.
I’m not quite sure how long it’s going to take me to figure this out, and fix the problem, but I am by no means abandoning the Kupid project. I intend to complete it, no matter what.
Since all my current work is in the software, there isn’t much to show. No pictures or video – nothing that would be more interesting than a cursor moving around in different patterns for a few hours, anyway.
As I make progress, updates will be posted.

Featured on Hack a Day

My Kupid project has been featured on Hack a Day. I’m happy, to say the least.
In time, maybe they’ll feature Kupid 2.0 & DDR, which are a lot more technically interesting (after all, who doesn’t love Assembler?).

Been a While. Lots of Updates.

Since my last post here, I’ve made tons of progress with Kupid. But, since I was posting regular updates on the Pav & the Mag, I didn’t bother duplicating all that here. It’d be a real pain to do.
To summarize: I completed Kupid 1.0, shipped the very first one off to Ix, began
Minor Kupid Update – Final Circuit Design Works!
about 3 years ago - 1 comment
I just tested a PS\2 Keyboard with the circuit I posted yesterday, and it works perfectly. Now I just need to hook up the PS1 controller, write the program, test it out, then cram it all in the PS1 Controller!
Below is a vid of the PICAXE debug screen which shows that the keyboard is working.

Major Kupid Update – Working on Final Prototype Circuit

I spent several hours today designing & making the final circuit for Kupid. I haven’t connected the PS1 Controller, yet. But I tested everything out as best I could. I hit a major stumbling block, though – I don’t have a PS\2 keyboard. >_< Well, I’ll find
Major Kupid Update

I spent several hours today working on Kupid. I have successful connected a keyboard to a PS1 controller, and was able to type into RPG Maker 1. I am going to be refining the program, and working out the kinks & glitches in the coming days. Soon I’ll be able to start migrating over to

Every now and again I’ll be live-streaming my work on the Kupid. Yes, It’s not the most exciting stuff to watch, but it will allow me to easily record and post videos of my progress. You can check out the latest test videos at my live stream account here:

New Kupid Video

This is a short preview of the prototype Kupid in action. Note that in the 10 millisecond test, the buttons are being controlled – it may look chaotic, but it’s Kupid intentionally doing the presses.

As you can see, there are problems with the 1-second-delay test (other than being really slow). It seems that faster is
Keyboard for RPG Maker 1 Project

If you’ve read the threads at either RPG Maker Pavilion || RPG Maker Magazine, you’ll know that I’m working on a project to create a keyboard attachment for the Playstation RPG Maker 1.
Yes – it is possible. At the moment, I am waiting for some assorted supplies to arrive. Once they get here, I’ll be

Keep the faith, good man. I have a lot of hope for this project. Thanks for the update, even if there's isn't much to say… reassurance is always welcomed.
