Re: how to compile the ROM

nobody here know how to compile the whole ROM? I'm going to build a couple of Gigagtron more, and I wish to use at least one of them as "Art sculpture" with a nice frame and a display, and I wish to change the ROM avoiding the initial menu and running directly a program (i.e. to show an im...

Re: gtBASIC

That means you are missing the Visual Studio C RunTime, (CRT), go to Microsoft's web page and download the appropriate one for you. Do you mean the Visual C++ redistributable? I installed both x86 and x64 (2017 - 14.16.27033)... It's supposed to be a modern BASIC with my own flavour of syntax and a...

Re: gtBASIC

Hi at67, great work, I've seen there's a prolific community developing games etc. with your gtBASIC! I'm feeling a little dumb, it seems everybody but me understood everything about your compiler and emulator... :-( I tried to read everything I could (of course I could have missed some vital parts) ...

Re: Fitting a screen inside the wooden box

That's a wonderful idea! I'm waiting for another Gigatron PCB, so I will have two. I decided to buy a 10.1" VGA display (exactly like the one in the above picture), I paid it 50 € free shipping from China. We'll see... I haven't the original box, so I planned to make one of painted MDF. So I wi...

Re: Overview of hard/software subprojects

- how to upload a GT1 file to Gigatron?

Re: tutorial about programming ATTINY85 with Arduino Nano

That's needed to get it to run at 8MHz. It needs to be done only once. Create a file fuses.txt with: fuses_lo = 0x00e2 fuses_hi = 0x00df lock_byte = 0x00ff Then set them: minipro -p attiny85 -w fuses.txt -c config Walter, the command line option didn't work for me, however from inside the MiniPro G...

Re: built, worked for a little and then...

It's working fine, now, so I have two options: 1) even if I dried it well after I washed with alcohol, there was still some little humidity (really strange, though); 2) I was using my regulated power supply and I set about the current limit to 700mA. It shouldn't make any difference, since it's cons...
