yeah thats risky! lol I wish i could find the Maclock people and get JUST the plastics without the electronics..
now my wheels are spinning - could make some tiny floppies with RFID in them and have it boot different disk images based on the ID# on the tags !
well i think im done.. heres a little demo of it (and me calling a keyboard a speaker) for those who might be interested.
I will make a better video later of the whole build.
I’m STILL messing with this thing. I came up with a way to programmatically mute the bluetooth module and “hide” chimes it makes when connecting / disconnecting and I added more floppy disk sounds. It’s almost just like a real mac now! 😆
In the photos you can see the 2222 transistor connected...
Heres a setup guide, notes on scaling and positioning and my LCD mounting bracket. Let me know if you need anything else I have a TON of notes but mostly partaining to my specific setup.
Hey it’s tavis with the micro Mac project. Let me know what you need and I’ll get them together. There’s an lcd mounting bracket and then I have some other various mounts I made for my other boards and speaker and stuff.
That’s the Talking Moose. Uses MacinTalk. You can get it on Macintosh garden or Macintosh repository. It’s a control panel. I had it on my Mac’s back in the 80s. Another good one is the Oscar’s the grouch one that pops out of the trash can when you empty the trash.
yes I designed everything...
Ya I have a bunch of those too. Sometimes not 100% reliable. This was an afterthought and initially I just wanted a simple beep sound so you know the machine is alive before the display turns on. But then when I added the Bluetooth module it already makes a sound so I just took a stab at seeing...
It is on this. Funny coincidence but in this case it’s actually generating the sound with loops and pwm driving the speaker.
but the Actual reason its called a startup sounder for the SFXbox is it was designed for this Williams arcade sound player thing I’m making and when you power THAT one up...
