In this project, instead of using a standard embedded processor and programming it to execute 3 tasks at hand (parsing HEX character stream, generating HEX character stream, and writing character stream to video RAM driving VGA), I created 3 independent...
I uploaded a copy of the BASIC program that ran the system. The important part was this, which I annotated what it did. With this Information and finding the interface to the spectrometer is a 48 line DIO board I was able to figure out what lines did...
NEDONAND-6 is 8 multiplexers 2:1 with common control (straight select and inverted select):Board already ordered through OSHPark:Pins description:1.1) GND - ground 1.2) O0 - output of multiplexer 0 1.3) O1 - output of multiplexer 1 1.4) O2 - output of...
Summary:It occurred to me that it would be useful to save some configuration in a non-volatile manner. This board and this chip does not have any conventional non-volatile storage (e.g. EE or external serial EE), but there's plenty of pages of unused...
Building a CP/M System Disk To avoid rewriting the assembler codes for ccp, bdos and cbios so that they can co-exist in the same file. I can append the i8hex files and remove the "end of file markers". To make the hex file more readable I have changed...
Fortunately most of the NASA documents are available. They can be found on-line at https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/Documents/ The following documents are what I leaned heavily on in gaining an understanding of how this computer...
Connect MIDI keyboard and use it as a frequency generator. So when I press some note, BFPC start do increment on it's frequency so we can play some music, e.g. The Imperial march from Star Wars
Right so it's been... checks notes... 36 hours since I wrote the log saying I don't know how to progress further. I've now essentially finished modelling the entire thing, and it should be smaller, better, faster and stronger than the previous...

These datasheets were astonishingly difficult to get, and then all of a sudden they were here. They've been uploaded to the main files, again with as many keywords as I can muster to help any weary and lost souls that may follow.Main takeaways:It's got...
It's probably worthwhile to summarize what hardware aspects I have gleaned thus far.Port A:b7 LCD EXb6 (not bonded on DIP40)b5 RAM Bank Select 1 (A16)b4 (not bonded on DIP40)b3 RAM Bank Select 0 (A15)b2 ??? b1 ...
As for the equation that will be used to determine whether a neurotransmitter triggers one of the intervals in a neuron, it will be as follows:where the numerator represents the sum of the specific neurotransmitter (t) from the neurons that are active...
Previously, while rummaging for scan codes, I was correlating known behaviour with key codes. One of those keys was the Clear File key (0x56). I forgot to post about that find, but it's still worthwhile to mention the file clearing operation...
