Re: My Gigatron! It very almost works! (Help!)
When programming the Pluggy McPlugface's Tiny85, which version of the firmware did you use? When I programmed mine, I found that "BabelFish.ATtiny85_v1.bin" worked well the non- V1 version didn't. Also be sure to set the programmable fuses when programming this chip to the following values...

Mouser BOM (Orderable parts list)
Hello fellow Future Gigatron hackers, I wanted to create another Gigatron W/Pluggy McPlugFace. Since the official kits are no longer available, I made a Mouser BOM based on Walter Belgers BOM (dated 20200623). However I did have to make a couple of substitutions: LED: Same manufacture and nearly the...

Re: Finding parts?
Thanks Walter! I think I may have found a surplus spot with the crystals. There are here if anyone else is on the hunt for parts: https://www.radwell.com/en-US/Buy/CTS%20CORPORATION/CTS%20CORPORATION/MP062E/ I'll try building the resistor array and see what happens. Thanks for such a quick response...

Re: Anyone got one for sale?
Be aware of that the new kits dont come with a printed manual (but the original was open sourced), the game controller, nor the wooden case. That said it looks like a viable kit and its best used with a keyboard for full functionality. If you want a game controller they can be found on verious websi...

Re: Issue with building my own Pluppy McPlugface
I had no end of issues with the PluggyMcPlug face adapter for the Gigatron. Since the Gigatron was the only computer I owned that used a USB keyboard, I purchased an inexpensive PS/2 keyboard. Sometimes it would work right away, other times it may initialize after 20-30 seconds. Then I had a 2nd key...

Re: Pluggy Reloaded
While he has sold kits on here before, he also posted the Gerber for people who are willing to make their own kits. This give you the option of ordering PCB's from PCBway.com, JLCPCB.com or other stable manufacture. None of the parts are hard to obtain and it's an easy kit to put together. Probably ...

Re: Two years of kit making and Open Source Hardware
Thank you for keeping this computer available by open sourcing it. This is a valuable computer for learning, not to mention fun to put together and program. You both put a lot of thought, care and effort into this system. I finally got one of my co-workers to order one just before before you stopped...
