In plain words
Avremu is an AVR microcontroller emulator implemented entirely in LaTeX, the document preparation system. It allows users to simulate 8-bit AVR microcontroller behavior within LaTeX documents, making it useful for education, documentation, and technical exploration of microcontroller programming. The project combines low-level hardware simulation with a typesetting tool in an unusual way that bridges computing concepts with document creation.

Vaev – A browser engine built from scratch (It renders google.com)2025 · github.com · ▲233We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly). This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast. We’d love your thoughts and feedback.
I built a handheld CHIP-8 game console to teach myself embedded systems2022 · github.com · ▲128A while back I wrote a CHIP-8 emulator (which is considered the Hello, World! of emulators and is more accurately a virtual machine since historically CHIP-8 was an interpreted language running on top of the COSMAC VIP to make game programming easier). But a few months ago I got really interested in embedded software, so decided it would be neat to port my emulator to a STM32 MCU and design a console around it as a learning experience, since CHIP-8 never existed as a physical system. I didn't know much about embedded software when I began, and even less about electronics, but I managed to…
