Back down into the FIR filter rabbit hole I go... Mapping 2D filter data and coefficients into a 1D FIR filter. How deep does the rabbit hole go, Alice?

ITS HAPPENING! Im getting flown on Sunday out to be on site for the last round of interviews for the Senior FPGA role! Granted, there will be 4 consecutive interviews when I am on site. But if the visit/interviews go well... Then I get the job. HYPE!

This will be a really fun stream, highly recommend tuning in. @ZombiePhoenix2 are awesome alone but add @gravebook into the mix? It'll be a whirlwind.
Stream Announcement: Time for another co-stream with the wonderful @Gravebook as my Horror Navi as she guides me through the twisted world of ToonStruck. There will be laughs, there will be gaffs, there will be... a BDSM cow? Follow the fun over at twitch.tv/zombi_phoenix

Holy crap, the company I interviewed with today already setup a second interview for tomorrow at the same to for the CTO and myself to talk. I'll just assume the quick interview succession means that the first interview went well! 😄

Interview went well! It was just myself and an embedded engineer... The CTO couldn't make it due to something coming up. Slightly disappointing but hey, I get high priority stuff comes up for C-levels. Until the next interview, back to work on the next firmware update for 64HD!

First round of interviews for a senior FPGA engineer position in an hour. The nervous excitement is real! 🥴

An absolute madman and pioneer. If anyone can do it, you can Red!
I am terrible at 3D modeling, but I think it is starting to look nice. Can't wait to play Halo on this. Still have to blend the controller meshes and remove extraneous geometry from them, and I am not looking forward to it. :) Also it's a 9" panel now cause big bezels are yucky.

Come hang! Will be a good time.
We are doing retro modding and gaming twitter spaces tonight 9pm central. You should tell your friends to come. Lots of good topics to discuss.

This cannot happen for multiple reasons unfortunately. The Wii U gamepad uses a custom encrypted broadcom direct wifi streaming protocol. To reverse this would take a massive amount of reverse engineering, potential certification requirements, and custom firmware work. 1/3
We need to reverse engineer the WiiU gamepad so it can pair up with the consolizer!

There some leg work RE the Wii U gamepad but the project has been abandoned since roughly 2014. To pick up where they left off would be an undertaking and that's putting it lightly. PDF of slides on the topic from 30c3 con 2013: docs.google.com/presentation… 2/3

The final nail in the coffin is availability and the price of a Wii U gamepad. Recent sales on ebay of the gamepad range from $70-$100. While it would be unbelievably cool to use, it just isn't practical or feasible with our current 2 man team. Thanks for reading! 3/3

Please read if you are busy. Here are the highlights. We will be totally transparent on the capabilities of this HW as we progress. Time to get busy :) @PostmanMods @GameboxSystems
