Plascii Petsma by Cruzer/Camelot has one of the nicest looking plasma effects I've seen for the C64. Since he included the source code, I was able to port it to the Z80 and TMS9918. On top of the features in the original C64 version, I have...
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...
Detecting and identifying a card As stated in an earlier log, the card insertion is detected by grounding the pin *CD. But this is not enough to make the scope believe he have a know card inside him. You need to indicate him what type of card was inserted....
The rest of the boards just came:I think I will connect them together through wire-wrapped "motherboard" (lets call it "NEDONAND-10" ; )All of these NEDONAND components could be tested one by one using PIC microcontroller (connected to PC through RS-232)...
1. Toolchain not found After stepping away few days far from my PC for family reason, I resumed my activities on the Tsykuyomi project.So I started by reading the https://github.com/WHhkwong/SIPI_Bear_playback code and looking for a SNC7001A Toolchain/SDK...
Ok, now it is kind of proven that binary CPLD (or FPGA) may implement ternary logic, but how we can integrate it with "true" ternary components, especially when CPLD is 3.3V and TRIMUXes are -5V and +5V? Answer is DG403 chips may do the job: Because...
Native C compiler (smaller C) with Color text TV system. Under a tiny memory, libraries are hard to link, so library such print, filesystem is on the flash and call from function-table. PS/2 keyboard(US, Japanese) can be used. Library for Color Video...
The 5.21E ROM works file with the current board, but the 7.11A ROM uses a different pin for the vertical sync signal. This can be fixed, but then the 5.21E ROM results in no display. Rather than fixing the hardware (with a jumper to be changed when the...
I tried a couple of other cards and found that they have different MBR formats with no header. I noted this in a previous log. There's an offset at 0x01BE that points to the MBR. My theory is this is true for "bigger" cards. I think the reason I could...
In the arduino code set your WiFi credentials char wifissid[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi SSID HERE"; char wifipass[] = "ENTER YOUR WiFi PASSWORD HERE"; Normally, the signal strength is displayed in dBm. But for a non techie person, the signal strength in terms...
Dyson V6 Setup and Running System Dyson handheld vacuum cleaners utilize high RPM brushless DC motors. Specifications indicate that some models can reach as high as 125000 RPM. I’ve disassembled DC56(V2), V6, and V10 models. Each has a brushless single-phase...
While whizzing through the code trying to scrounge verified keyboard scan codes and flags, I found some some buried treasure in the form of an undocumented test routine. It's not that exciting -- it just fills the current file with some sample...
I was looking for a way to make the Excel Paper Model for the Z30 calculate the stepping points so it would be a complete model of the machine. The example shown below is for a rotor with a Ring Setting of 4, the 1 mark on the ring is set to the 4 position...
