My fun with LED message boards started in the very end of 2004 and ended in August 2005. By the August 2005 I had created some simple LED message boards (8×64 and 8×128), which are usually called here “the running string”, and had placed myself to stalemate. For my boards I used Assembler language and […]

Suunto Core disassembly – Part 3
The last bunch of images – disassembly of famous Core’s buttons. It seems that nothing special with them except double o-rings.
