A Proper Computer For A Dollar?
When a tipster came to us with the line “One dollar BASIC computer”, it intrigued us enough to have a good look at [Stan6314]’s TinyBasRV computer. It’s a small PCB that forms a computer running BASIC. Not simply a microcontroller with a serial header, this machine is a fully functioning BASIC desktop computer that takes a PS/2 keyboard and a VGA monitor. Would that cheap price stand up?
The board uses a CH32 microcontroller, a RISC-V part that’s certainly very cheap indeed and pretty powerful, paired with an I2C memory chip for storage. The software is TinyBASIC. There’s some GPIO expandability and an I2C bus, and it’s claimed it can run in headless mode for a BASIC program to control things.
We haven’t added up all the parts in the BoM to check, but even if it’s not a one dollar computer it must come pretty close. We can see it could make a fun project for anyone. It’s certainly not the only small BASIC board out there, it’s got some competition.
Thanks [Metan] for the tip.

If you like the games I make and want to support me, one good way to do so is to download my games from Itch. They're free, although a donation when you download is welcome. Find my DOS games, as well as my Spectrum and TinyBASIC games, at cyningstan.itch.io

Single Chip AVR BASIC Computer V0.3
A computer running the TinyBASIC programming language on an ATmega 1284P microcontroller as well as generating composite video signals and reading PS/2 keyboard input. The computer is easy to assemble at home as all components are through-hole. System features include: - 8bit ATmega microcontroller running at 16MHz (ATmega 1284P). - Over 7KB of memory available for creating BASIC programs. - Header for external EEPROM 'cards' which allow full size programs to be saved (using a 25LC640 EEPROM IC); 4KB internal EEPROM available within the microcontroller. - USBasp programming header allowing easy programming of the computer once assembled. - Many GPIO pins for connecting to components and other circuits.

first practical experiment of the project.
stefan's tinybasic burned to an arduino mega.
not much memory, but from here the user environment of the permacomputer can be developed.
it will not be difficult to get BASIC running on the permacomputer.

I stumbled on an article in @hackaday-feed.bsky.social about the Springboard connector socket having direct access to the CPU, and i'm a little intrigued! IIRC you code these with C language, but there was a TinyBASIC port online too.

![the text editors written in BASIC we found in old 70s and 80s magazines.
yes they are type-ins.
yes some are over 350 lines long.

A while ago, I was briefly interested in writing compilers and interpreters. My only such project was Tiny BASIC. To demonstrate the language I made some games, including Kingdom of the Lyre, a text adventure (Tiny BASIC has no strings). It's at cyningstan.itch.io/kingdom-of-t... #TinyBASIC

Writing a #compiler is interesting, I'm reviving an old #typescript project where I wrote a compiler for #tinybasic. Now I'm rewriting the project in #cpp, will also #OpenSource it once it's finished.
It will first be a #bytecode #vm but eventually be turned into a native compiler
