It looks like ArchiveTeam’s Warrior was mostly capturing PubMedCentral (PMC) articles. As far as I know, SRA and GEO aren’t being backed up by ArchiveTeam (that is a lot of data), but since SRA is largely also mirrored by ENA, it wouldn’t seem a priority.

From watching the ArchiveTeam's Warrior URLs as they stream past, it looks like PubMed Central manuscripts are being archived, which is a good thing.

 

Just noticed this today - seems all the archiving activity has been noticed by NCBI / NLM staff. Thankfully most of SRA (the Sequence Read Archive) and other genomic data is also mirrored in Europe.

 

Timely, since I recently misplaced my big bag of 100nF through hole MLCCs, somehow.

That's what I've been up to over the New Year - trying to properly finish off a few 90% done things and share them if they are useful.

 

3D printable. To my knowledge, there isn't another MIDI breakout for Disting that has both 5 pin MIDI DIN and TRS sockets.

 

Place your bets ! Any guesses what this will be about ?

 

The EuroPi is a neat multi-functional eurorack module by Allen Synthesis, based on the Raspberry Pi Pico (and soon to be even better with Pico 2 support which should make it feel snappier !).

When I started sourcing parts to build one, I found that the OLED modules and buttons in the original design were a little more expensive for me to acquire in Australia, compared with the more common Ali Express versions. I also really wanted the design in KiCad. I reworked the EuroPi hardware to use these alternative OLED variants and cheaper tactile buttons. I also moved around some buttons and jacks to my own preferences (making it more like the uO_C Ornament and Crime layout).

This is the result - the screen is slightly offset to the left (which I'm guessing is why Rory Allen's original design may have used less common OLED modules), so I've tried to maintain symmetry by 'filling in' the asymmetrical part with the silkscreen on the panel. I think it works okay (it's not triggering any OCD in me anyway !).

 

.. and new prototype hardware with 8 inputs and 8 outputs !
