Z80 computers and coding in assembler using the computer with a home made MIDI interface to play synthesizers and make music.

Hi, Excellent 😊My day started by doing some chores at home and then after lunch I worked on my electronics projects and making music.

Here’s another nice SAA tune; this time playing on my 48K Spectrum (with Microdrive and Interface 1) using @samcoupe.com’s SAA1099P interface and bus adapter. I’m using a new faster playback routine by Anton Javorček here, it sounds great! 🔊🔊

Issue 3 of @breakspace.bsky.social is out, and I wrote an EXCLUSIVE, must-be-typed-in game for it!

Check out this video to see how it works!

Probably only the rubber drive belts might need changing.

I think this is the book I had when I was quite young. It had loads of images of futuristic looking spacecraft and planets and strange creatures.

I have been banned from Etsy!
After 2 years, over 700 5 star reviews, Etsy has decided that the items I sell are prohibited. This includes all the hand-made chiptune gear, and all homebrew games.

So… I built my own store instead!

...built in so you can code directly on the device in a terminal. The developers have not addressed this so I dont use the Pico as much as I would like to (except for MicroPython occasionally). I'm sure many will find a good use for this new board.

NickT6630 @nickt6630.bsky.social · 1d

Your right on the Linux SBC bit. I think it will do well for people who are used to coding in the Arduino IDE and want an out the box ready to use self contained solution.
There have been times when I have said why does the RPi Pico not have its own IDE or C programming IDE and file explorer...

I really might just by a dumb phone to make calls only next time.

I was a sceptic at first but this is full Linux desktop computer the size of an Arduino.

WTF!!! An advert just popped up out of nowhere on my phones screen! Not in a message or an app but just out of thin air on the screen. If phone manufacturers think they can do this shit then nobody should buy their phones!

Try this... I have no idea if it will work but...

Have a great Friday too 😊 Inboxpounds newbies have to reach £20 pounds on the first cashout I think, atleast I did when I joined 2 yrs ago. After that its £10, then £5.30 to cashout.
Primeopinion is £5 minimum to cashout.
Qmee is anything over 85p, but I only get a few surveys a day completed.

Hi LadyKitty. I do paid surveys with Inboxpounds, QMee, PrimeOpinion. I earn around £40 a month.

This circuit will intefere with the bus all the time because there will be reads from ROM and RAM. You will have to use a chip such as 74xx244 to make an input port.

Yay!!! Crap content is still going!

NickT6630 @nickt6630.bsky.social · 3d

The prospect of having to do a very different job and perhaps something you wont enjoy as much. I'm in the same boat. I wish you the best of luck with finding something soon.
