ICT_GUY Posted April 28, 2011 Posted April 28, 2011 An 8 bit home built computer. Just like the old days! Anyone thinking of building one of these for fun? Only £20 for the kit and an hours worth of work. (programming it via an 8 key pad might be deemed a little tough) 1
autismuk Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Yep. I have one There are a lot of problems with it but its fun to play with. The keypad isn't as bad as you think but the actual buttons are horrible In reality I think it is aimed too low. You could upspec it a lot, both speed and graphics by using (say) an ARM board or a PIC32. There are breakout boards for both that could be used as a base.
_Bob_ Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 Cool. I've wanted to have a play with something like this for a while. This looks like a nice budget starter project.
