What's the difference between a lawyer and a trampoline ? You take your shoes off before you jump on a trampoline. In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

I think we agree. :thumbsup: The difficult we do right away... ...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Kittens will tell you their names. I had one that told me she was Snortimer (Monster under the Bed) and another one who told me he was Dusty. He hid under our stairs and came out looking like an overgrown dust bunny with a cute face, ears, four legs and a tail.

He was amazing in Breaking Bad.

My condolences and much strength to you both. I don't think I've ever been more sad than the time I had to euthanize my cat (also cancer).

I think that's a reasonable and rational approach you are taking. It's an area I know nothing about and I have seen too many Hyperloops,Theranos and FTxs in my life to not be a little bit cynical on some claims. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” ― Christopher Hitchens

This really depends on what it needs the FLASH storage for, frequency of access, storage size, board space, complexity, etc. Knowing what wifi chip you're considering would help but I would probably just stick a small SPI flash chip on there - or at least a footprint for it on a first prototype.

Embedded tools can be hard to set up, but are usually very reliable once they are. Is there any support for the RTOS or some example bootstrapping code or standard development boards? They might help you get to the point where there is only one thing being fixed rather than the hardware and software at the same time. As an alternative I wondered whether it would be possible to move over slowly, beginning with creating a board that runs a 40 pin display by being sent commands over whatever common bus will work, but keeping the main code where it is. The display board could then be fairly dumb and possibly just hardware rather than any software. The idea effectively being applying the strangler pattern to the current hardware. That might be easier than moving everything in one step in order to enable what is a small fraction of the current functionality, as there will only be a single thing to get working. This idea probably doesn't work for 100 reasons I haven't thought of but hopefully it is harmless to suggest it :).

Ah, brings back fond memories of spelunking the depths of CP/M, and its many undocumented features! Especially fun was discovering the ability to write a hidden track, between the standard tracks, to conceal data in plain sight. Loved that FDC 765! Have fun; you know you will! Will Rogers never met me.

I use VS Code because A) Everyone uses it so I can write articles involving using it with instructions for that software and it will hit the widest audience with the least effort B) It's totally cross platform C) Extensions like nobody's business. I can even edit Fallout and Elder Scrolls game scripts with intellisense. I'll put up with its shortcomings for all that. Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx

:) After 20 years of marriage, a husband and wife go to counseling. When asked what the problem is, the wife breaks into a passionate tirade about every problem they have ever had. Finally after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist gets up, walks over to the wife, makes her stand up and kisses her very hard. The woman shuts up and quietly sits down. The therapist says to the husband: This is what your wife needs a least 3 times week. Can you do this? After a moment, the husband replies: I can drop her by here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays I fish. "A little time, a little trouble, your better day" Badfinger
