Today’s side quest is to get back into computer vision. Might was well kit-bash it with reading paper tape right?
A year later and I finally soldered the keyboard header pins in. Coming soon :) #commodore
I blame the influence of @K0FFY_Radio for this purchase
I need the 80 column mode on my 128 for a long number project this week. July is my scheduled maintenance month for this machine so I might as well do that first since I have it out. No retrobrighting happens in my shop. This thing earned it’s yellow ;-) #commodore
JiffyDOS on a VIC-20 is a strange animal
I forgot that I have this butane powered soldering iron. Very convenient for a single quick job. Gotta keep it in mind.
eBay, have you lost your mind? Literally no one should be interested in this.
I needed some window tint for the overhead window in the airplane, and it’s just a bonus that it is just the thing you need on a KIM-1 (clone) to increase the visibility of the LED display. Before and after is pretty stark. #commodore #kim1
Pulled out the FabGL board. Apparently I was running Windows 3.0 last time. Seemed more fitting to turn it into a VIC-20. And what’s the first game on the list in the distribution? Splatform by @8BitShowAndTell… That guy sure gets around #commodore
Squeezing @BrunoLevy01’s RISC-V core onto an Icestick #FPGA is a lesson in “you really can do a lot with just a little”. So many lessons to be learned. At 50Mhz Pi and Mandelbrot work really well. I’ll leave the Icestick permanently hung off of this Raspberry Pi from now on.
and the obligatory LED Matrix
