Demo Reel!
I'm revealing a bunch of new features here.
- color map shaders
- animated color maps
- animated particle opacity
- animated background shaders
- text overlay
- themes
- theme cycling
I put it on MakerTube, as it's a little big for Mastodon.

I have now stopped supporting Modal 00x products. a few reasons, firstly I'm sick of people assuming I still work for them and get paid by them, I don't I was doing it because I cared.
But mostly because a number of the people I've tried to help (mostly techs) have been complete arseholes about the repairs like entitled morons.
So why would I continue to do something for free whilst getting abused for it?
I won't.

Vagina MuseumBut we also recognise that the community that we serve, the people for whom we do this, don't have much to give. We are many. Our community is strong. And even a regular donation of just ÂŁ1 a month makes an astronomical difference. If every one of our followers on here and Bluesky donated ÂŁ1 a month, that's our *entire* running costs covered. https://www.vaginamuseum.co.uk/donate
gloriouscowI have a bit of a hot take.
If you're in the retro computer hobby just to tinker with stuff, to occasionally boot up your system for ten minutes of Prince of Persia every three months, there's nothing wrong with that.
Nobody expects you to do actual research or hack on things or document anything. The people that do that, do it because they have the time, motivation and a different set of goals.
I’ll add that I really wouldn’t suggest people do this. The 16C752 is cheaper than a CPLD and way more versatile. The ONLY reason I’m doing this is that I don’t want to respin the PCB and waste the parts and money I’ve put into it.
Ok, so, I have the next part working of my CPLD UART... it now populates a buffer, with the correct values!!
Green = serial in (LSB first),
Orange is parallel out (LSB at the bottom)
Next step is to transfer that to a register that can be read!
I will probably up my sample clock to 16x, as that seems like the common thing, and 4x may not be 100% reliable. But for simulation, 4x is enough.

Fun with WinSim.
After much battling with dodgy tools from the 90s, I've now got two useful signals. One to start the UART receive and it's counter, and one to stop when the 10th bit is received.
Tomorrow, shift register to capture the bits.
