Full video on this subject (this is literally the script): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psy6lRcdGtk Introduction Old houses, like my parents’ home, comes wired with simple electromechanical doorbells. They’re a simple electromagnet with a metal...
I love it when I can find parts that someone else designed, it saves me time and effort. Aviator67 produced a treasure trove of add-on parts for the farscape1 LUT. After printing and assembling the Level30 floor framing along with the cable tray template...

21/07/2023, Friday, 10:16. For some reason this last week got me too lazy to do anything at all... Well, I will just leave this here and see what I can think of... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
This entire project is a little bit of an odd bird. In terms of electronic sophistication, it’s not too different than any of the other homebrew computers you might see on Hackaday. This isn’t a project that will just sit on my workbench until I die...
Since we're using an ATX power supply for this computer, there is a little magic that needs to happen before it becomes a proper power supply. Besides the usual orange, red, yellow and black wires attached to a 20-pin connector, there are also a few...
Compared to the 8080, the Z80, the 6809, 6502, and all the other 8-bit microprocessors used in boxxen of yore, the CPU I’m using for this project - the Motorola 68000 is both extremely powerful and extraordinarily complex. The power comes from a huge...
Although it might make sense to start this project by building a CPU module first, I decided it would make more sense to start with the memory for this system. This serves two purposes: as an explanation of how the 68000's memory-mapped I/O works, and...
I'm in the middle of a few free days right now, and I figured it's time to take a look at this project. Things aren't good. Let's go over what's wrong with it:It's not doneIt's not even close to being doneThe 'not being done' is mostly a result of using...
First, you're going to need a deck. If you're working on a budget, go to Walmart or Academy Sporting Goods or similar and pick up something cheap for around $20. The above deck is a bustin mini maestro, which I think I got for $80-90. The primary difference...
Prior to high school graduation, Ian Hillier and I were leaders of the robotics club at school -- we even won the 2007 Skills Canada Robotics competition for a soccer playing bot! When we weren't building robots, we built some electric scooters for...
I really like these big dome buttons from SparkFun, but they don't come in an RGB flavour. This is really annoying as they would be ideal for the color control on our system.→InsertImageNot to worry though, a couple of minutes with some snips and a soldering...
Terrible cell phone pic, the 1.3" 128x96 OLED SSD1306 is a direct drop in replacement for the 0.96". Though it is $5.00 vs $2.57 , I do like the bigger display . I'll hopefully take a better pic of it, certainly couldn't take a worse one....
