Thursday ebay stuff; on the left is to go buy-it-now, stuff on the right to go for auction. Will bin any unsold. https://t.co/EDwzOm59AT 01:14:18, 2016-05-12
@danfoxdavies Eh, maybe. I've had a lot of time with it end up dealing with people trying to "upsell" me on things. in reply to danfoxdavies 01:19:21, 2016-05-12
Could have sworn there was a shop selling the wiimote camera modules on breakout boards… 01:51:27, 2016-05-12
My VR headset has shipped and is apparently on a 7-10 day estimate! Considering how to add positional tracking to it. 01:53:27, 2016-05-12
Apparently the wiimote camera reports brightness and dot size as well as 4 IR dot positions. Enough for basic location tracking. 01:58:38, 2016-05-12
Shame the Pi Zero can't handle a camera module. Would seem a "simple" way of adding an eye-tracking camera. 02:03:15, 2016-05-12
However, in checking did stumble across an extension for the camera using HDMI cable. That's helpful on the wearable front. 02:04:13, 2016-05-12
The language of the HMRC tax credits form has gotten a lot more aggressive. They're even using red ink now. 13:42:34, 2016-05-12

A bunch of BIN items listed. Time for a food break. Load of expansion cards next. 15:29:03, 2016-05-12
23 BIN listings so far.. onto the auction listings now. Also got a box of stuff I can't be bothered to. Freebies/small donation at a meet? 18:15:31, 2016-05-12

Taken the graphics card out of my brothers old PC. It's only a 9800GT, but should run the side monitors fine. 18:58:08, 2016-05-12
The GT640 will run the middle monitor, which is the only one I use for games/graphics, leaving the HDMI output spare for the VR headset. 18:59:04, 2016-05-12
And we're done! everything that's going on ebay is on ebay. Anything that doesn't sell will go in the bin. 22:46:15, 2016-05-12
