The Ravenna Ultra-Low-Altitude Vehicle is a backyard rocketship treehouse nestled in the Seattle neighborhood of Ravenna. Click the link to see a demo video (http://rocket.jonh.net).

The hexagonal treehouse is about 6.5 feet (2 meters) across at its widest point. The frame is welded mild steel with riveted aluminum siding. It contains nearly 800 LEDs forming dozens of numeric displays spread across 14 control panels, each with an acrylic face laser-cut and etched with labels such as "Lunar Distance" and "Hydraulic Pressure". The pilot controls the rocket using a joystick and panels full of working switches, knobs and buttons. Underneath the capsule are three "thrusters" that shoot plumes of water and compressed air under the control of the pilot's joystick, simulating real positioning thrusters. Takeoff and docking sequences are augmented by a paint-shaker that simulates the vibration of a rocket engine. Sound effects complete the illusion, with a powered subwoofer that gives the rocket a satisfying rumble.

When it was built in 2011, rocket operations were controlled by three Atmega328 microprocessors on custom-fabricated printed circuit boards, running a small operating system, RULOS, built just for this project. A trench running from the house to the rocket carries 12VDC power for the lighting and electronics, water for the thrusters, compressed air, and several data signals.

Since 2011, the two-person team has upgraded it, here is a recent update from the makers:

One of the most visible changes is replacing the primary 4-line display with a slicker 6-line display (i.e., 6 rows of 8 columns of 7-segment LEDs). The audio synthesizer has been upgraded to a PCB that can generate 50khz, 16-bit audio. The interconnection bus, which had been flat IDC cable carrying individual on/off lines, was upgraded to a true I2C-based networked distributed system with over a dozen individually addressable targets, all interconnected by standard cat5 cable that carries both our I2C protocol and power. We also moved much of the electronics from 8-bit atmega328s to newer, 32-bit STM32F3's. RULOS has been expanded into a pretty general purpose embedded systems platform ported to 5 major lines of CPU (atmega, attiny, stm32, nxp lpc, and esp32). We've used it for dozens of other projects in the last 12 years, including a nanosecond-accurate timestamper, a GPS datalogger, an air quality sensor, various little electronic control boards for toys (e.g. these, and this), and an autonomous boat (that sank).

RULOS has been expanded into a pretty general purpose embedded systems platform ported to 5 major lines of CPU (atmega, attiny, stm32, nxp lpc, and esp32). We've used it for dozens of other projects in the last 12 years, including a nanosecond-accurate timestamper, a GPS datalogger, an air quality sensor, various little electronic control boards for toys (e.g. these, and this), and an autonomous boat (that sank).

Bram, a figure synonymous with selflessness, ingenuity, and devotion to the open-source community, has left an indelible imprint on our industry and our hearts.

A software developer hailing from the Netherlands, Bram's extraordinary contributions extended beyond Vim. His commitment to Aid Uganda (ICCF Holland), a charity he founded to support children in Uganda, is a testament to his compassionate heart and philanthropic spirit.

Bram revolutionized the way many of us write, debug, and understand code when he created Vim over three decades ago. He conceived an elegant tool, designed with the complexity to handle myriad programming languages yet simple enough for novices to use and learn. His commitment to continual improvement and receptiveness to community feedback set a standard for open-source projects.

Bram, in true open-source spirit, dedicated Vim to the public domain. He used the widespread affection for Vim to raise awareness about the less fortunate, prompting users to consider donating to help children in Uganda, creating a unique synergy between software and philanthropy.

The echo of Bram's Vim, and his larger philosophy towards open-source development, will continue to resonate through the corridors of digital history. His legacy is etched into every line of code crafted in Vim, every developer who found their footing through its use, and every life uplifted through his charitable endeavors.

As we extend our deepest sympathies to Bram's family, friends, and the wider Vim community, we remember him not just as an innovative software engineer, but as a beacon of selflessness in the tech world. The principles Bram embodied \u2013 sharing knowledge freely, using our skills for the greater good, and the constant pursuit of improvement \u2013 are his enduring gift to us all.

Bram Moolenaar may have departed from our world, but his legacy will continue to inspire and guide generations of developers. Rest in peace, Bram. Your memory will, much like your seminal creation Vim, remain omnipresent and timeless.

In tribute to Bram, let us remember him in our day-to-day work: with each line of code written in Vim, each command executed, Bram's spirit endures, echoing through our keystrokes for eternity."},"title":{"matchLevel":"none","matchedWords":[],"value":"In Memoriam: Tribute to Bram Moolenaar - Luminary of the Open Source Community"}},"_tags":["story","author_keepamovin","story_37011912","ask_hn"],"author":"keepamovin","children":[37099147],"created_at":"2023-08-05T13:40:32Z","created_at_i":1691242832,"num_comments":1,"objectID":"37011912","points":26,"story_id":37011912,"story_text":"Today, we mourn the loss and celebrate the life of Bram Moolenaar, the distinguished creator of Vim, the ubiquitous text editor revered by programmers worldwide.
