I run 2 old Juki pick and place machines. They run DOS 6.22 on a 486 I think. My biggest pain points are, 1) booting them up without errors, and 2) transferring files to them wirelessly without any floppies. (without installing any DOS software)

Closest I got was with a GOTEK and an ESP32 emulating a USB. But it was flaky so I dropped it for now.

Can you elaborate more on how you use it or do you recommend any codebase to learn more?

I remember evaluating Kermit and ymodem for my embedded work too, but didn't end up using them. Maybe I didn't understand Kermit fully. I wanted something to connect over serial (usb cdc and ble) via the browser and manage files and the state of the device.

I always end up writing something worse and half-baked in the end..

You should always be getting a second or third opinion from real doctors for matters like surgeries, radiology, etc.

One doctor diagnosis + LLM is gonna throw you off. You need more datapoints.

Agree, but their prices are still bad.. I use Rpi vs. Rockchip/Allwinner, etc. on commercial products. Rpi software is a bit better but after the chip shortage their prices have been artificially inflated..

Im sure its also negative for WebBLE but we are hoping that one day we can have it on Firefox too.. We use WebBLE for talking and programming NRF52 chips and it works great compared to plugging a wire every time.

They are ok, put them into production for around 250units. Was very excited about them, but plugging and unplugging is not as graceful, and sometimes you stab yourself with their sharp pins. I'm going back to mounting a usb-c connector on the pcb me thinks.
