Did you ever finish this or publish the models?

I built a few of these and never had much luck with them. I did put one together and sent it to another user on this forum who was able to get it mostly working on a Windows machine, including things like degaussing the CRT. There is some ambiguity in the instructions and I feel like I...

Here's a video showing what the LisaNet app can do for your LisaFPGA:

OK, made a video showing the latest (and hopefully the final) revision of the hardware for the Lisa Mini case. I also cover the software updates, including the previously mentioned USB support, as well as the new WiFi capabilities that I got by adding an ESP32 S3 connected to the GPIO pins on...

Added FujiNet support in the latest version, which can be used with Tim O'Connors FujiNet enabled apps. https://lisalist2.com/index.php?topic=884.0 So I can do things like see where the international space station is at this very moment! Very cool! And looking forward to using this to...

There’s definitely a black version when I wanted to not use up my platinum filament. You can actually see it in the part 2 of my interview with @classiccomputing in the Raspberry Pi version. It here’s also a version I lovingly referred to as my McDonalds version where I used some spare...

OK, With the addition of the the LisaNet module I added (connected to the LisaFPGA's GPIO pins), I noticed with my case and my software enhancements, the chip was getting hotter than it should. So I've optimized the software a bit (and removed a feature I wasn't using - 1024 x 768 support) and...

OK, worked a bit on the thermals. Basically the enclosure is a contributing factor, as are my changes that added clock generators. The stock firmware from Alex was getting in the 72-76 degree range. With all my original software changes, It was around 86 degrees during extended use. The FPGA...

So I 've been working through some issues I ran into where my ESFloppy was not working intermittently. After a couple of days of troubleshooting, I found out that it actually is due to the fact that my ESFloppy screen is broken. Apparently, because it is misbehaving, there is a timing issue...

Added the ability to control the settings from the ESP32 web UI. (Ignore the error on the screen, I had powered off the lisaFPGA when k took the screenshot. Unfortunately, it can only see the files for the ESFloppy or the ESProfile one at a time, so you have to switch modes for one or the other...

OK, got it installed and everything buttoned up. The first time setup isn't ideal, but it's pretty common for devices without a screen / input that need to connect to wifi. If unable to connect to wifi, (or for a first time setup), it will create its own WiFi network you can connect to (with...

Working on adding a way for me to manage my ESFloppy and ESProfile images without having to pop open the side of my Lisa Mini case for my LisaFPGA. I have an on demand on screen menu that allows me to change settings. I thought the on board ESP32s for the ESFloppy and ESProfile might have...

Yeah, for my needs, I think I'm going to go simpler. Just provide a simple wireless way to manage my ESFloppy and ESProfile images. I have it working with a tiny ESP32 S3 device and modified firmware for the ESFloppy and ESProfile. I'll put my stuff into a separate thread so I don't...

I’ve been looking for ways to add WiFi capabilities to the LisaFPGA I have set up in an all in one case that makes port access challenging. I was planning on slapping an ESP32 with WiFi onto its gpio pins and then having those communicate over the serial port to a custom app on the LisaFPGA...

I finally wrapped up my Lisa Mini 3d printed case for my LisaFPGA, and decided I wanted to make using it better from a software side. The lack of software is kind of the biggest downfall of the cool project. And running MacWorks seems less exciting because I can run Mac OS elsewhere. So I...

Yeah, I considered making the USB-C port accessible while inside the case, but I have power wired into the USB-C port. Meaning even if I made the port location accessible, you'd need tp pry out the low profile usb-c connector then plug in the connection from the computer, and after try to...

One thing I need to check on. Got some reason, I now get a message on power-up about the "Built in parallel port: unconfigured". I don't know if that is due to Alex's new ESProfile firmware (which I pulled into my fork), or if it's something about my changes. The solution is simply, just...

No, by default it will continue to display in the middle of the screen with 1080p output (using the 60/30Hz jumper to drive the refresh rate). My changes just add the ability to bring up an on screen menu to either shift where it displays (left or right) in the 1080p output, or also allows you...

Sure. You don't need the screen adjustment changes, but you can install my fork and get the USB improvements by following the instructions in the "About this Fork" section of the readme here: https://github.com/wottle/LisaFPGA#about-this-fork-lisa-mini Side advantage: if you haven't already...

Got the switches in today and the button components work really well. The buttons barely stick out, so it is very subtle, but easily findable by touch. Here's the new front plate. Also, I've spent some time trying to address one of my pet peeves about the LisaFPGA - it's support (or lack...
