I just recently was able to install my RGB2HDMI (which uses a Pi Zero) that I had fabricated, soldered by yours truly and wired up all the way to 4 soldered wires on the Macintosh Classic analog board... This week, I got a cheapo USB hdmi capture device (that can reach 1920x1080p @ 30 Hz) which...

My girlfriend surprised me with this, took her a few sessions this week. No patterns used, just freehanded. She can do anything she wants at this point. She did standing Grogus (from Mandalorian, aka baby yoda), in-floating cradle tiny grogu, among us characters, home Simpson, Hermione, name it.

I was able to make it work through perseverance and I'm not sure I'd be able to repeat this easily. Attempt #1, bless and rebless a folder in a hd/folder 1/system folder (2 levels deep). After a reboot or 2, system picker finally lete select it. But it turns out it's a super ancient one with...

UTSource is a good place for deprecated ICs, that's where I sourced my Cirrus Logic Crystal CS4237B-KQ sound chips for my weecee pc project (pentium equivalent that was in need of Sound Blaster + adlib-like capabilities). https://www.utsource.net/

Yes, I use the System picker abundantly in the first volume that I probably got from the example rascsi drives. However, I wasn' t able to make what's probably System 4.2 needed for this game (or even less!). Is there a limit to the oldness of the Systems supported by it? I tried rapidly to...

This case scenario happened this morning on my Mac Classic. It has an internal BlueSCSI it will boot from fairly quickly as most users of it are aware. I also had a game dsk inside my floppyemu which has custom fonts installed which is the basis for its graphics (Déjà Vu tile game from...

RGB2HDMI: an open source project on github that can deal with multiple video signals (from the early to late 80's mostly, sadly, no DOS VGA stuff) and send it to HDMI with lag below 1 frame (around a quarter frame iirc). It has tons of parameters to fine tune the stability and appearance of the...

Congrats! A worthy effort for a worthy machine. I'm curious about the amount of time you spent on the repairs of the old board before you decided to switch to a new one?

I'm about to add diodes to my 2 pluses when I get around to it.

Ben Eater is a fantastic youtuber that produces lengthy content at a pace way slower than the average content creator. He has a patreon set up to collect funds every time he launches a video, instead of every month like most patreon users. Since he has time to release between 4-8 videos per...

Awesome progress and it's pretty funny all this happens as I've just finished soldering/assembling 2 units of RGB2HDMI this week and am about to test it out on a Classic 1.

I've started exploring a mock case in foamcore to get a general sense of how I want to assemble it. It seems like the MT-32 panel is at a 60 degrees angle. I won't be using the pi3 USB ports at all. The ports that should go out are: area large enough for the microSD to be inserted in/out, MIDI...

After leaving a (max-1) star review detailing the issue, they sent my an email telling me they'll send a corrected copy free of charge! Sweet!

Case inspiration: I plan to redo pretty much this design, roughly. I found this in a thread on vogons forum. After repeated inquiries by a few other people and me, he still hasn't posted his fusion360 files so that we can adapt and 3d print his design. It's about half size compared to...

Here are some progress shots on the ol' breadboard first: Working condition with just my pi3b (while I wait for the 3a to arrive) in headless mode (this project's software has no video output anyway), no controls or LCD screen Addition of the LCD screen: Addition of rotary encoder + 2...

Goals of the project: -Have a small raspberry pi3 deal with MIDI data and playback sound for both Roland MT-32 and Roland Sound Canvas-55 (bonus: other sounds with general midi sound fonts) -Not set it as a pi hat -Put it in a small and cute very transportable custom case Use cases: Many...

Yep! I have p.281 instead of p.251 as well. I hadn't reached that spot yet. That's unfortunate.

I don't know but the datasheet are definitely available and show the exact purpose of every single 304 pin of the SoM. After spending above a thousand dollars to make 2 units, get a decent soldering station, an ok hot air box, a usb microscope and various knick knacks and considering how...

Your milleage may vary but consider hitting the used market for pi3a or pi3b's, many people are selling them off after acquiring a pi4. I had trouble finding them 2 weeks ago but now, they are popping into existence more often right after I bought a complete pi3a (new) started kit from an...
