Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
Yeah, they are feature packed for sure. Kinda pricy and supply chain hobbled last I looked.
How to load to memory is probably Teensy 101 for the Teensy camp.

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
The data appears to be in RAM, but there's no clue about how it's loaded.

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?

He calls out where the

Re: Has anyone fully decoded the X9000 memory mapping?
I can see the code in the web page and just looking at it I don't see where

I use Notepad Plus because it can format/color code the

Re: Xcat-2022 proposal
Hi Casey,
I understand, believe me know about family health issues.
Kicad was just a suggestion, not a requirement.

Re: Xcat-2022 proposal
Not bizarre at all. Seems like a reasonable approach.
I'm really not qualified, but I've put together a few questionable board
