Features include:
- Mini playable low res version of Scramble
- 7 x 10 White LED Charlieplexed display (placed in a slight perspective to match the Vectrex artwork!)
- Joystick is a 1-button capacitive touch controller
- PIC16F886 8K MCU (I had a reel of these I pulled out of the trash, which is why it uses this relatively old and huge MCU. I have more!)
- Speaker (auto mutes if not playing, or can permanently disable with removing a solder blob)
- Coily cord! This is made of a solid core silicone wire, and stranded core silicone wire. These were an absolute pain to make
- Open source hardware and software on Github: http://www.github.com/technobly/vectrex-sao
- What's a Vectrex? https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Vectrex
Such an excellent concept, and one that I'm sure will delight all Vectrex fans & owners! Can't wait to see it in full production :-).
