      I'm still playing with my replacement OLED display for the Equate pregnancy tester. I was worried I wouldn't have enough bandwidth to do real time updates, but it turns out that 128x32 at 1bpp doesn't take much bandwidth at all.pic.twitter.com/zOzl4eHyHm

      and it can't yet run doom. That's going to be way tricky, even cheating and having a modern desktop computer connected to it... but I CAN play back a doom video on it, which is kinda close?

      BTW, I'm just prototyping & playing around with this right now, but when it's more complete I'll do a how-to guide so you can build your own video-pregnancy-test.

      and to clarify what I'm doing here: This is a replacement display AND a replacement microcontroller. I'm not using any of the original tester other than the shell.

      The existing CPU can't be reprogrammed and the existing LCD can only show 4 things, so I had to replace both to make any changes. And the current version doesn't even fit into the shell! (although I'm certain it will when complete)pic.twitter.com/BVcC6OTxaq

          I put the original videos up on the internet archive in case you want to post them on somewhere or show them in a video/show/whatever and not be limited by twitter's video compression: https://archive.org/download/pregnancy_test_videos …

          I added the video that shows what the screen was like before I hacked it. This one, but better quality (and pointlessly longer):https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301711188904927232 …

          foone @Foone
          and why does it do that? so it can detect the lines on the paper! In other words, the whole point of the digital part, the battery, IC, LEDs, and photodiodes... is to read the lines and tell you "PREGNANT" and "NOT PREGNANT" instead of "||" or "|+" pic.twitter.com/uTlKUTkiCY

          I simply love how committed are to this project. The pregnancy test reborn! Though now I think of it, has no one made a “smart” pregnancy tester yet. By smart I think The world means Wi-Fi + webapp + dubious privacy

          So, uh...can we design a cheap reader box that uses strip tests, a photodiode, a couple LEDs, and a teensy for ladies in the maker community who would be interested in utilizing said device? Just asking for ya know...the ladies. Or is that out of scope?

          it's out of scope for what I can do with it, but I've heard there are some other people already working on open source versions.
