General request: if you post pictures, please please include alt text describing the image so that everyone, regardless of visual ability, can enjoy your toot.
Please consider asking others to do this. Optionally, reconsider boosting toots if they don't have alt text.
We all have an opportunity to help shape the culture of this place and I'd love, love, love if it were "oh, everyone posts alt text with their images because that's just what you do."

I know I have to get this I2C peripheral working for my job.
But -- and hear me out here -- what if I just _didn't_?
But. Freaking. Image. Descriptions. On. You. Lazy. Bastards.
#BikeVirginia Camp 2, but it's raining so forget that. Rode, lunched, and managed to dodge almost all the rain.
#BikeVirginia camp 1 and some riding from day 3. (Not the best pictures but we're too busy riding and goofing off.)
Me: "Oooh, look, helpful examples in the ST docs! I guess sometimes things go my way!"
Docs: <three tables for varying frequencies of f_I2CCLK>
Me: control-F "f_I2CCLK"
Computer: hahaha. Of course the only reference to that is in these three tables, you rube.

#BikeVirginia starts tomorrow!
(It looks like Friday rain and then back to normal Virginia summer weather: pop-up storms in the afternoon. Fingers crossed!)

@MightyPork artist's impression
Is gcode older than Fortran? Does that make it the oldest programming language still in widespread use?
I'm not a bike scientist, but I'm pretty sure that bottom bracket bearings shouldn't sound like this.
There's so, so little code space in this processor that I had to reuse functions from the bootloader in the app. E.g., the bootloader handles a serial interrupt but the main app overwrites a function pointer so the processed message will get handed to it.
(So the bootloader keeps the code for CRC, framing, etc. The trick is to leave its buffer space untouched in the app.)

With good company, Mt Rogers was hiked; wild ponies were scritched; rhododendrons were ... rhodo'd?
Please know that if I fave your negative toots, I'm not delighting in your struggle, but quietly expressing my support and solidarity; I'm often terrible at using my words to do so (the operative words are "awkward" and "trite").
Please let me know if I can help!
Lol remember when I covered E3 one year and _everyone_ except my editor regretted it https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2014/06/e3.html
