<h3>Defeating the 30 Hz MIDI "Strobe-Light" Bug & Piezo Bass Roll-Off</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
While building the <a href="projects/midi-breadboard-instrument.html">16-Track MIDI Breadboard Instrument</a>, raw MIDI delta-slices caused the LEDs and 1.3" SPI OLED to strobe violently. Writing a custom Run-Length Encoding (RLE) compressor in Python (<code>midi_to_c.py</code>) and transposing bass-heavy tracks like <em>Seven Nation Army</em> +2 octaves solved both flash exhaustion and piezo acoustic roll-off.

<h3>ESP32-S3 Octal PSRAM Pin Collisions & Shared SPI2 Arbitration</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
On the <a href="projects/multi-functional-controller.html">Multi-Functional RC Controller</a>, the ESP32-S3-N16R8 reserves <code>GPIO 35–37</code> for internal Octal PSRAM/Flash. We remapped the shared SPI2 bus (<code>MOSI: 11, MISO: 13, SCK: 12</code>) with dedicated hardware CS lines for the nRF24L01+ (<code>CSN: 10</code>), MicroSD (<code>CS: 39</code>), and ST7789 IPS TFT (<code>CS: 40</code>).

<h3>16-Byte TLS Alignment for DirectX 11 on Linux</h3>
|
||
<p>
|
||
In <a href="projects/pointblank-linux.html">pointblank-linux</a>, we engineered a standalone Rust launcher that automatically provisions a 16-byte TLS-aligned <code>ntdll.dll</code> runtime and <code>vcrun2022</code> / <code>d3dx11_43</code> components so Point Blank runs at 200 FPS in DirectX 11 on Linux with unmodified official CheatBlocker anti-cheat.

<h3>RLE MIDI-to-C Struct Compiler (<code>midi_to_c.py</code>)</h3>

Converts multi-channel `.mid` files into compact C99 <code>SequenceStep</code> struct arrays (<code>{frequency, duration, kick_drum, hi_hat}</code>), automatically routing MIDI Channel 10 and low bass notes (<code>< MIDI 50</code>) to hardware percussion buzzers.

I study reverse engineering using <strong>Ghidra</strong>, <strong>x64dbg</strong>, <strong>radare2</strong>, and <strong>Cheat Engine</strong> to understand how compiled C/C++ binaries, memory layouts, calling conventions, and hardware registers work at the machine instruction level.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
|
||
Every time I inspect a compiled binary or debug an ESP32 panic backtrace, it reinforces why deep knowledge of C, memory alignment, and Assembly is indispensable.
