Notes
- Japanese: 株式会社ナウプロダクション Hepburn: Kabushiki-gaisha Nau Purodakushon
gollark: I actually tried to make that, but it returned inaccurate results sometimes and I have no idea why.
gollark: Developing for EEPROMs is somewhat annoying, yes.
gollark: Well, microcontrollers are... easier to move around, since you don't have to carry all the cards and EEPROMs and such.
gollark: It has all this useful debug output.
gollark: I've got a neat bare-metal EEPROM program to run NC fusion reactors.
