      Problems, Problems, and more Problems

      I got the semaphore problem settled, but I then ran into a problem where the data that the application on the interface side sends a packet was then not receiving the packet. Through some debugging I found out that the interface, when it goes into device_consumer_thread for getting the receive function, it fails here. Looking deeper into when that interface->receive_funcs element gets assigned I found the function here which I realized is never called when I call ifconfig to set up the interface. I ran into the solution to the problem by just changing the type of datalink frame from loopback to an ethernet frame that the interface will be using from now on. That brought the packet to an interface and I started to get a new problem of course :)

    • HackadayAn Open-Source Antikythera Mechanism

      When the Antikythera Mechanism was first discovered, it wasn’t viewed as the wonder that we know it today. Originally the divers who found the device and the first scientists to look at it wrote it off as an astrolabe or other some other common type of clock. It wasn’t until decades later when another set of scientists x-rayed the device and surveyed more of the shipwreck where it was found that it began to become one of the more important archaeological discoveries in history. There have been plenty of attempts to recreate this device, and this replica recreates the mechanisms of the original but is altered so it can be built in a modern workshop.
