I had no idea you could connect a Game Boy to a sewing machine. The Mario embroidery patterns actually look kind of cute now that they are working. It is nice to see people preserving weird pieces of history like this.
I wasn't sure whether this was emulating the sewing machine, or driving an actual sewing machine from the emulator -- it's the latter.<p>Followup request - digital emulated sewing machine! Should be a breeze based on the blog!
In the video at the end you can see it’s the former. They’re drawing a digital representation of the commands the emulator is sending to the “sewing machine”.
If you can emulate the sewing machine... can you run it fast enough to run a GB emulator inside of it? : )
Secret Life of Machines emulated a sewing machine on humans: <a href="https://youtu.be/8lwI4TSKM3Y?t=328" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/8lwI4TSKM3Y?t=328</a>
Wow crazy that there aren’t more screenshots of the actual software UI that’s what I was really hoping for here
