Re: USB-Gameport dongle
Did you wire the controller DB9 straight through to the output? If you hacked BabelFish I guess you're switching it in software somehow? Switched in software on the Arduino whenever it's not using the serial port for commands/downloads etc: here's the circuit diagram, (pretty simple) and here's the...

Re: USB-Gameport dongle
Looks great! The only thing missing is a pass-through DB9 connector for the controller, (I got sick of continuously unplugging the Arduino and plugging in the controller). So I added a male DB9 connector to my Arduino Nano and a slight mod to BabelFish.ino and now no more stress. Did you wire the c...

Re: USB-Gameport dongle
Yup, did consider adding another DB9 and may still do. Been wrangling with my printer, as usual

USB-Gameport dongle
Afternoon all,
I'll grant it's a little over-engineered, but I've built a USB-Gameport dongle for programming the G.

Re: BASIC
My thoughts, FWIW... I think the choice of how the BASIC is implemented is pretty crucial, and that really depends on what we're trying to achieve. I love the idea of being able to boot the G and start running BASIC programs, or issuing BASIC commands in immediate mode. It's just what the early mach...

Re: WIP: Tetris + any GCL tips?
Working for me too I just swapped the Arduino plug out for the game controller.
Really nice!

Documentation...?
Morning all, A general question, and I think I know the answer! - is there any documentation for programming the Gigatron other than what's up on git? The unit looks so nice, it needs to be shown off. I've a simple magic mirror application in mind. A slightly hacked Mandelbrot app, displaying time/w...
