@NanoRaptor uhh… aren't you supposed not to post stuff, that actually kind of makes sense? I'm really conflicted about this one.

@NanoRaptor So that's where all the smartphone headphone connectors went…!

@NanoRaptor It's TRS, so not just 18 pins, but 27 🤩

@NanoRaptor I simultaneously hate this and also want to make one

@NanoRaptor okay but this one SHOULD exist

@NanoRaptor why stop there when you can have 117-pin DE-9? https://fv.technogothic.net/@AgathaSorceress/113317998120714263

@NanoRaptor make those TRRS and you got 36 points to do whatever with. Two points short of TWO HDMI ports!

@NanoRaptor (assuming I have the data-sheet right) That's a DE-9•27 using 1000 nm TRS, very rare! ;-)

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social if one jack can spin 360 degrees, nine can spin 3240 degrees

@NanoRaptor What's that look like on the solder side with 2 on 1 pin?

@NanoRaptor that with a few cables to plug the guitar effects into the looper 😎

@NanoRaptor Ah yes, commonly associated with the RS-232 stereo standard, which sadly never saw wide adoption due to the prevalence of monaural telephone lines

@NanoRaptor cursed

@NanoRaptor This should be secure enough without the screws, I think.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social
Ah, the new USB-G 3.98 standard connector!

@NanoRaptor hey @AgathaSorceress this made me think about you

@NanoRaptor 😂

@NanoRaptor that is genius.

@NanoRaptor how do you think up these things?!? 👏🏼

@NanoRaptor erm ackshually thats 27 pins (28 if you count the shield of the DE-9)

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social i like this and actually want it to exist.

@NanoRaptor ...is she single?

@NanoRaptor You could do three rows of five, in the VGA layout, to have a stereo left/right pair, presumably for some kind of 3D goggles

@NanoRaptor you had me at DE-9 connector!

@NanoRaptor I want to see the converter for the larger DE-25 1/4 inch version.

@NanoRaptor make the case common ground and you have 27 pins!

@NanoRaptor no.

@NanoRaptor inspired!

@NanoRaptor
This is cursed on another level

@NanoRaptor

Ah yes, the Bene Gesserit serial port.

@NanoRaptor
T9r9s9, for theater surround sound of course.

@NanoRaptor that's legit kinda amazing, you'd have to make a firm clicking locking mechanism, but this seems like it could actually help with making high density mezzanines that are currently extremely fragile

@NanoRaptor
No-one has said it has to be serial - so we are looking at 9-pin full duplex parallel (tip is ground, middle is RX inside is TX). With one pin handling error detection we can transmit 8 bits (one byte) at a time (both ways). So what is our maximum baud rate? 🤠
