Simple DIY electronic music projects - #Arduino, #RaspberryPi #MIDI, #synthdiy, where music and #STEM overlap. Home of the #LoFiOrchestra and follower of #MakersHour. I also try to list every time I get a #MakerFail too, as that is how I learn!

This. Oh, so very much this.

That's annoying... somewhere in the house I know I have a db9 to db9 null modem cable - but can I find it!?

Found several straight throughs mind.

I've had to resort to my usual technique for finding such things. I've just ordered another one.

Launching any #retail product onto the open #market is always a bit nervy.... But a kit #8bit #computer product, that the end user has to solder together themselves!!

That takes it to a new level!!! Luckily so far The Minimal Byte 504b 8-bit #BASIC kit computer has been received very well by both #electronics #enthusiasts and #STEM #educators..

In my latest #video I explain the #project and the thinking behind it..

I've just stumbled across the "unofficial retrofest ad" and I'm still chuckling at it now...

Hoping to be visiting again on the Sunday this year fingers crossed!

But I have now published my walk through of part of the AVR emulation of AY-3-8910/8912 devices.

Fascinating stuff.

Note to self:
"I do not need to build an AY-3-8910 out of discrete logic chips."

But how cool would that be!
