Inside a Selective Voltmeter


[Martin Lorton] has a vintage Harmon 4200B selective voltmeter that needed repair. He picked it up on eBay, and he knew it wasn’t working, but it was in good condition, especially for the price. He’s posted four videos about what’s inside and how he’s fixing it. You can see the first installment below.

The 4200B is an RMS voltmeter and is selective because it has a tuned circuit to adjust to a particular frequency. The unit uses discrete components and has an analog meter along with an LCD counter.

The initial tests didn’t work out well because the analog meter was stuck, so it wouldn’t go beyond about 33% of full scale.

Since there are four videos (so far), there is a good bit of information and detail about the meter. However, it is an interesting piece of gear and part 3 is interesting if you want to see inside an analog meter movement.

By the fourth video, things seem to be working well. You might want to browse the manual for the similar 4200A manual to get oriented.

Forgot why we measure RMS? You weren’t the only one. RMS conversion in meters is a big topic and there are many ways to do it.

A Single Chip Computer For The 8051 Generation


The Intel 8051 series of 8-bit microcontrollers is long-discontinued by its original manufacturer, but lives on as a core included in all manner of more recent chips. It’s easy to understand and program, so it remains a fixture despite much faster replacements appearing.

If you can’t find an original 40-pin DIP don’t worry, because [mit41301] has produced a board in a compatible 40-pin format. It’s called the single chip computer not because such a thing is a novelty in 2025, but because it has no need for the support chips which would have come with the original.

The modern 8051 clone in use is a CH558 or CH559, both chips with far more onboard than the original. The pins are brought out to one side only of the board, because on the original the other side would interface with an external RAM chip. It speaks serial, and can be used through either a USB-to-serial or Bluetooth-to-serial chip. There’s MCS-BASIC for it, so programming should be straightforward.

We can see the attraction of this board even though we reach for much more accomplished modern CPUs by choice. Several decades ago the original 8051 on Intel dev boards was our university teaching microcontoller, so there remains here a soft spot for it. We certainly see other 8051 designs, as for example this Arduino clone.

17 maggio, giornata contro l'omolesbobitransfobia

In Africa, nella regione dei Grandi Laghi, alla problematiche dovute alle ingiustizie socio-economiche e ambientali si aggiunge un livello di discriminazione ulteriore dovuto ad una sistematica persecuzione delle persone appartenenti alle comunità LGBTQI+.

Chiediamo aiuto concreto e immediato:

  1. Salviamo vite nella regione del Kivu, in Congo. Persone LGBTQ+ fuggono dalle aree occupate da forze militari non governative, cercando disperatamente rifugio e sicurezza. Collaboriamo con Gay Christian Africa per sostenere queste persone e permettere loro di trovare riparo.
  2. Sosteniamo chi lotta contro l’HIV in Uganda. Il progetto della Mbarara RISE Foundation fornisce farmaci salvavita per persone LGBT+ che vivono con HIV, ma i fondi sono stati recentemente cancellati dall’U.S.AID.

Agire ora può fare la differenza. Le persone colpite da queste crisi non possono aspettare. Il nostro contributo può significare la possibilità di una nuova vita per chi è intrappolato dalla persecuzione o dalla mancanza di cure.

Supercon 2024: An Immersive Motion Rehabilitation Device


When you’ve had some kind of injury, rehabilitation can be challenging. You often need to be careful about how you’re using the affected parts of your body, as well as pursue careful exercises for repair and restoration of function. It can be tedious and tiring work, for patients and treating practitioners alike.

Juan Diego Zambrano, Abdelrahman Farag, and Ivan Hernandez have been working on new technology to aid those going through this challenging process. Their talk at the 2024 Hackaday Supercon covers an innovative motion monitoring device intended to aid rehabilitation goals in a medical context.

Motion Project


youtube.com/embed/_5ySbBsYnZg?…

As outlined in the talk, the team took a measured and reasoned approach to developing their device. The project started by defining the problem at hand, before proposing a potential solution. From there, it was a case of selecting the right hardware to do the job, and developing it alongside the necessary software to make it all work.
The Arduino Nano BLE33 had most of the necessary functionality for this project, out of the box.
The problem in question regarded helping children through rehabilitative therapies. Structured activities are used to help develop abilities in areas like motor skills, coordination, and balance. These can be particularly challenging for children with physical or developmental difficulties, and can be repetitive at the best of times, leading to a lack of engagement. “We wanted to solve that… we wanted to make it more interactive and more useful for the therapies and for the doctors,” Ivan explains, with an eye to increasing motivation for the individual undergoing rehabilitation.

Other challenges also exist in this arena. Traditional rehabilitation methods offer no real-time feedback to the individual on how they’re performing. There is also a need for manual monitoring and record keeping of the individual’s performance, which can be tedious and often relies on subjective assessments.
The device was demonstrated mounted on a patient’s chest, while being used in a game designed for balance work.
Having explored the literature on game-based therapy techniques, the team figured a wearable device with sensors could aid in solving some of these issues. Thus they created their immersive motion rehabilitation device.

At the heart of the build is an Arduino Nano BLE33, so named for its Bluetooth Low Energy wireless communications hardware. Onboard is an nRF52840 microcontroller, which offers both good performance and low power consumption. The real benefit of this platform, though, is that it includes an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and magnetometer on board and ready to go. The IMU in question is the BMI270, which combines a high-precision 3-axis accelerometer and 3-axis gyroscope into a single package. If you want to track motion in three dimensions, this is a great way to do it.

For user feedback, some additional hardware was needed. The team added a vibration motor, RGB LED, and buzzer for this reason. Controlling the device is simple, with the buttons on board. In order to make the device easy to use for therapists, it’s paired with a Windows application, programmed in C#. It’s used for monitoring and analysis of the wearer’s performance during regular rehabilitation activities.
The user’s motions are recorded while playing a simple game, providing useful clinical data.
The talk explains how this simple, off-the-shelf hardware was used to aid the rehabilitation experience. By gamifying things, users are prompted to better engage with the therapy process by completing tasks monitored by the device’s sensors. Fun graphics and simple gameplay ideas are used to make a boring exercise into something more palatable to children going through rehabilitation.

The team go on to explain the benefits on the clinical side of things, regarding how data collection and real time monitoring can aid in delivery. The project also involved the creation of a system for generating reports and accessing patient data to support this work, as well as a fun connection assistant called Sharky.

Overall, the talk serves as a useful insight as to how commonly-available hardware can be transformed into useful clinical tools. Indeed, it’s not so different from the gamification we see all the time in the exercise space, where smartwatches and apps are used to increase motivation and provide data for analysis. Ultimately, with a project like this, if you can motivate a patient to pursue their rehabilitation goals while collecting data at the same time, that’s useful in more ways than one.

Oscilloscope Digital Storage, 1990s Style


You’re designing an oscilloscope with modest storage — only 15,000 samples per channel. However, the sample rate is at 5 Gs/s, and you have to store all four channels at that speed and depth. While there is a bit of a challenge implied, this is quite doable using today’s technology. But what about in the 1990s when the Tektronix TDS 684B appeared on the market? [Tom Verbure] wondered how it was able to do such a thing. He found out, and since he wrote it up, now you can find out, too.

Inside the scope, there are two PCBs. There’s a CPU board, of course. But there’s not enough memory there to account for the scope’s capability. That much high-speed memory would have been tough in those days, anyway. The memory is actually on the analog board along with the inputs and digitizers. That should be a clue.

The secret is the ADG286D from National Semiconductor. While we can’t find any info on the chip, it appears to be an analog shift register, something all the rage at the time. These chips often appeared in audio special effect units because they could delay an analog signal easily.

In practice, the device worked by charging a capacitor to an input signal and then, using a clock, dumping each capacitor into the next one until the last capacitor produced the delayed output. Like any delay line, you could feed the output to the input and have a working memory device.

The scope would push samples into the memory at high speed. Then the CPU could shift them back out on a much slower clock. A clever design and [Tom] gives us a great glimpse inside a state-of-the-art 1990s-era scope.

While we haven’t seen the ADG286D before, we have looked at analog shift registers, if you want to learn more.

Independent ATProto infrastructure has been rapidly expanding recently, experiments with games on ATProto, and Graze offers developer grants.


Bluesky Report – #115

Independent ATProto infrastructure has been rapidly expanding recently, experiments with games on ATProto, and Graze offers developer grants.

I also run a weekly newsletter, where you get all the articles I published this week directly in your inbox, as well as additional analysis. You can sign up right here, and get the next edition tomorrow!

Independent Infrastructure news


Over the last week, the effort towards decentralisation and running independent pieces of ATProto infrastructure has sped up significantly. There are now multiple relays that are publicly accessible. Other people also have made alternate AppViews that are Bluesky-compatible. Combined, this makes it now possible to fully use Bluesky without using any infrastructure owned by Bluesky PBC, and the first people have done so. To do so means using a separate PDS, relay, AppView and client.

Some of the updates regarding relays:

  • Blacksky has built their own relay, using their own custom implementation. This relay is publicly accessible, meaning that other people can use this relay instead of the relay that Bluesky PBC uses.
  • A writeup on how to set up your own relay by Bluesky engineer Bryan Newbold, for some 34 USD/month.
  • Making relays cheaper has been due to the Sync 1.1 update, Bluesky PBC goes into more detail in a blog post what this entails.

And the updates regarding clients and AppViews:

  • Two clients now support the ability for users to set their own AppView, Deer and TOKIMEKI.
  • AppViewLite is another AppView for Bluesky that has been around for a while, that focuses on being cheap to run. It also heavily optimises for network data storage, with creator Alnkq running AppViewLite that contains full network data on a cheap 10 year old machine. So far, AppViewLite only worked with a custom frontend. An update this week now make it possible to use AppViewLite in combination with other clients.

Some further thoughts:

  • The way ATProto works, is that it takes the software that runs a social network and splits it up into separate components, with each of those components being able to be run independently. This has made self-hosting any component possible since the beginning of the network opening up. But to tak advantage of this, and get to a state of full independence, it means running multiple pieces of software. This has created a bit of a catch-22 in the ecosystem: you could run your own relay, but without another independent AppView to take advantage of this, it is not super useful. You could run your own (focused on the Bluesky lexicon) AppView, but without a client that allows you to set your own AppView it is not particularly useful either. What happened now in the last weeks is that all these individual pieces are starting to come together. With Deer allowing you to set your own custom AppView, there is now a use to actually run your own AppView. Which in turn also gives more purpose to running your own relay.
  • For building features in a Bluesky client that Bluesky itself does not have, a different AppView is needed. Now that these are starting to become available, there is new space to experiment with clients that have features that Bluesky does not have. Deer has already started going in this direction by allowing people to set any account as a trusted verifier, for example.
  • There has been skepticism around Bluesky PBC’s claims regarding decentralisation, especially from people within the ActivityPub community. Part of this distrust has come from people applying a mental framework of how ActivityPub works to how ATProto works. In this framework, Bluesky being decentralised would mean that there are other software platforms that are interoperable with the Bluesky lexicon. I’ll be writing more about those different mental frameworks, and how that relates to decentralisation later. But for now these developments strengthen the claims of Bluesky PBC around decentralisation and building a network that is ‘billionaire-proof’.


In Other News


at://2048 is the game of 2048, integrated with ATProto. 2048 is a sliding tile puzzle game where players combine numbered tiles to reach the 2048 tile, that has gotten popularity years ago and has been reimplemented a number of times. What makes the at://2048 version stand out is that the scores of the game are stored on your ATProto PDS. This creates new features and challenges: it gives the game a more social element, with features like leaderboards. It also creates a new challenge, of how to verify that a score on someone’s PDS is actually legit. at://2048 is experimenting with verified badges to authenticate if a score is legit. Integrating games with ATProto is one of the areas that is under-explored, and this reimplementation of 2048 is worth watching to get a sense of how the integration of games with ATProto will further develop.

Bluesky differs from other social networks in one significant way, namely that users blocking each other is public information. This creates new dynamics, from people being able to see who have blocked them, to leaderboards of the most blocked accounts on the network. A new paper, ‘Self-moderation in the decentralized era: decoding blocking behavior on Bluesky‘, takes advantages of data on blocks being public to study user behaviour. Some of their findings: “users who receive a high number of blocks exhibit distinctive behavioral traits that set them apart from the general user population. These patterns are not necessarily linked to toxicity or misinformation, indicating that block-worthy behavior is more nuanced and complex than traditional moderation markers might suggest. Second, these distinctive traits can be effectively encoded and leveraged by machine learning models, suggesting the feasibility of early-warning or flagging systems able to assist moderation teams by surfacing potentially problematic users even before issues escalate.”

Custom feed builder Graze is giving out 5 grants of 1k USD for other projects in the ATProto ecosystem. Explaining why the startup is giving out grants, Graze says: “First, we want to help accelerate growth in the ATProto / Bluesky ecosystem. Projects that help *others* are vital. Second, we want to empower communities to sustain themselves. Third, we want to help give people & orgs direct access to their audiences. Broadly, those are *our* goals as an org.”

Bluesky in the media


  • Time Magazine talks with Bluesky CEO Jay Graber and COO Rose Wang after they both got recognised as rising leaders in the Asian Pacific Community by Gold House. On monetisation, Graber says “she’s considering subscription models or monetizing Bluesky’s marketplaces of custom tools, but no concrete plans have been set in motion.”
  • Wired published an article on how digital archivists are racing to save Black History while the Trump administration is trying to erase it. Wired talks with Blacksky’s Rudy Fraser, who describes “Blacksky as a living archive. Currently its database holds 17 million posts from Black users over the last two years”.
  • How the San Francisco Standard uses Graze to hone their social media strategyGraze


ATProto tech news


  • The two developers behind Git collaboration platform Tangled, the brothers Anirudh and Akshay Oppiliappan, gave an interview on the devtools.fm podcast about Tangled. The platform also got various feature updates this week, and customisable profiles.
  • Graze has made their ATProto authentication tool open-source and available for everyone to use. The ‘ATmosphere Authentication, Identity, and Permission Proxy‘ allows developers to easily add ATProto authentication to their software as a separate micro-service.
  • WhiteBreeze is a self-hostable frontend for WhiteWind, allowing people to build their own blog on ATProto.
  • ATProto Migrator is a tool to migrate your ATProto account to a different PDS. It does so via a web application, without people having to touch the Command Line Interface (CLI). This makes account migration more accessible, as other tools until now (such as goat by Bluesky engineer Bryan Newbold) require people to use the CLI.
  • Flashes is a Bluesky client focused on images, and they are experimenting with some new ways to deal with the limitations that come from using Bluesky’s data. A Bluesky post can contain a maximum of 4 images and 300 characters. Flashes has upgraded that limit to 900 characters and 12 images. It works by actually creating 3 separate Bluesky posts in a thread, and displaying this as a single post in the Flashes app.
  • A guide on Publishing ATProto Lexicons.

Un recente studio sulle modalità di comunicare informazioni sul cambiamento climatico, mostra come rendere più incisivo il messaggio: con visualizzazioni binarie dei dati invece che tramite dati continui.


Binary climate data visuals amplify perceived impact of climate change

Nature Human Behaviour (2025)

nature.com/articles/s41562-025…


Le visualizzazioni binarie dei dati climatici amplificano l'impatto percepito del cambiamento climatico

Per gran parte della popolazione mondiale, il cambiamento climatico appare come un lento e graduale cambiamento del tempo quotidiano.
Questo porta molti a percepire i suoi impatti come minori e a generare apatia (l'effetto "rana bollita"). Come possiamo trasmettere l'urgenza della crisi quando i suoi impatti appaiono così sottili?

Attraverso una serie di esperimenti cognitivi su larga scala (N = 799), abbiamo scoperto che presentare alle persone dati climatici binari (ad esempio, le immagini sulle differenze nelle date del congelamento dei laghi) aumenta significativamente l'impatto percepito del cambiamento climatico rispetto a fornire dei dati continui (ad esempio, la temperatura media).
...i dati binari aumentano l'impatto percepito, creando una "illusione" di cambiamenti improvvisi.
...
Questi risultati, replicati in modo robusto in più esperimenti, forniscono una base cognitiva per l'effetto "rana bollita" e offrono un approccio basato sulla psicologia ai politici e agli educatori per migliorare la comunicazione sui cambiamenti climatici, mantenendo l'accuratezza scientifica.



Perché infangare i verminai, paragonandoli alle cose che avvengono nel, vicino, intorno al Porto di Genova?

E meno male che ci sono ancora validi giornalisti a scoperchiarlo.

Un recente articolo su Nature cambiamento climatico esplora le diseguaglianze di emissione di gas serra derivati dai più ricchi


I gruppi ad alto reddito contribuiscono in modo sproporzionato agli estremi climatici in tutto il mondo


High-income groups disproportionately contribute to climate extremes worldwide
Sarah Schöngart, Zebedee Nicholls, …Carl-Friedrich Schleussner
Nature Climate Change (2025)

www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02325-x


L'ingiustizia climatica persiste e i meno responsabili spesso sopportano i maggiori impatti, sia tra i paesi che tra i singoli all'interno dei paesi.
Qui mostriamo come le emissioni da gas serra, attribuibili ai consumi e agli investimenti dei gruppi di popolazione più ricchi, hanno influenzato in modo sproporzionato gli attuali cambiamenti climatici.
Colleghiamo la disuguaglianza delle emissioni nel periodo 1990-2020 a estremi climatici regionali... due terzi cioè 66% del riscaldamento sono attribuibili al 10% più ricco nella popolazione (ben un quinto, cioè il 20%, è attribuibile all' 1% più ricco), il che significa che la responsabilità dei contributi individuali è 6,5 volte quella dei contributi pro capite medi (addirittura è di 20 volte per i più ricchi).

Quantificare il collegamento tra le disparità di ricchezza e gli impatti climatici può aiutare nel discorso sull'equità e la giustizia climatica.
