Eric (Turd) from the Hacked Gadgets Forum has shared a project that he has been working on. He has made a FreeBasic program that interfaced to a custom circuit board that he designed and built. This will allow a computer to control an LCD display. This gives you lots of possibilities such as having a temperature monitor or CPU usage display for easy viewing. All the code and schematics
This is a proof of concept project that contains lots of great code and helpful tips that could help us out when we are working on a similar Ethernet / microcontroller project.

"This mod was achieved by adding a small socket to the back of the psp ( the socket was sent to me by a friend some time ago so I dont have a part number. I believe it was intended
This DIY Push Pull Tube Amp Build doesn’t need a circuit board since everything is done using point to point wiring. If you open up some old equipment such a TV or stereo you will see that this type of wiring was the norm. It is hard to believe that this was the way mass produced equipment was constructed. "Initially I started with 6EU7 tubes in the preamp stage
