Notes

Suspicious Number

An Alfred plugin to quickly identify the value of a random register. Converts from hex, binary or decimal to UTF8, signed, float, and more.

An Alfred.app window with query 'decimal 42'. There are six results: 0x2A Hexidecimal, 42 Unsigned Integer, 0b00101010 Binary. '*' ASCII String, '*' UTF-8 String.

Rechargable Battery Conversion

Converting a digital scale that requires disposable batteries to use rechargable pouch cells.

A top-down picture of a green PCB containing two large chips and several small passives. On the left, there are two small pads labeled 0V and 6V. In the middle near the top is a USB C port facing the camera. In the top right there is text printed on the PCB: "6V Battery Charge/Boost." In the bottom right there is a socket for a JST-SH connector, pointing to the right.
