#Retrocomputing & #SciFi trivia: During his brief tenure as Compute! Magazine’s book editor in 1983, #EndersGame author #OrsonScottCard contracted Craig Chamberlain to write #programming books on the #Commodore64 based on the latter’s work on the #Atari 400 and 800 Pokey Player #music system.

Chamberlain’s second Compute! book, “All About the #Commodore 64, Volume Two,” was the first appearance of #Sidplayer, which would become the US's most popular #C64 music system.

thanks #JLCPCB for flawlessly printing all my design errors 🤭

along with discovering the result of my own horrors, it brought an unexpected twist: now it's a board that works both with D32Pro and S3Pro

finally got some sound out of this SID Player for ESP32 I designed while learning Kicad 🥳

the whole lot of mistakes I made can't be enumerated here, but the biggest one was inverting pins D{0-7} position in the schema editor 🤦‍♂️

ironically this is the only error I could recover from by using software whereas other "patches" would involve cutting tracks or adding wires
