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...
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...
For quite some time I have been thinking about the possibility to using a laptop to run all the heavy OpenPlotter and OpenCPN stuff instead of using a Raspberry Pi. The performance of the RPi is... well it's usable but it's not a pleasant user experience....
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...
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...
Before I began the layout of the DDL4-CPU, I came up with an initial Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) for the design. It went through several revisions as I was designing the boards and refined the components. Here at the last minute as I am...
The amazon fairy dropped off a "NES Classic Controller" and a "Classic Pro"The classic pro comes up as a classic controller, The only difference is the analog R and L on the one I have are buttons and just return the max value when pushed. Although this...
In a previous log I said, "I'm not going to overthink this. Random selection from the chess openings is working.". Well I lied. I am going to overthink this. (Well at least think it.) Something I should have done when working on the opening moves was...

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...
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...
Switching over to an ARM based solution is much better than an AVR+RTC chipset solution. Been looking at the STM32F030 chip and it is a perfect fit for this application! It has the following very desirable characteristics:32.768kHz oscillator on-chip....
