Gigatron Hackers

Since the Arduino Nano Every (ATMega4809) is currently cheaper and more powerful than the PRO-MICRO, I once built a Pluggy Reloaded with the Every. (Reichelt 10,70€ https://www.reichelt.de/arduino-nano-every-atmega4809-ohne-header-ard-nano-eve-p261300.html?&trstct=pol_13&nbc=1) I added the A...

A solder bridge can be seen on the underside of the expansion (JTAG between TDI and TMS). This is a mistake. I had removed them before the test. The picture is an accident.

The current version of the "Multipuruose Expansion Board" from lb3361. This should be the end of the hardware development. I have a (bad) video of the possibilities here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkXx2jeCFOU gigatron-multipurpose-expansion-board.JPG If there is a need, I can build e...

Very nice. Welcome. RetroTechLyfe uses different colors for the blinking lights, great.

I come from Germany. I try the cheapest shipping. So far this has worked very well. When I'm ready to give away extensions, I'll ask if anyone wants one (cost of materials + shipping). So far I have soldered SMDs well by hand (QFP, 0603). The CY7C1049 and XC95144XL are a problem for my eyes though. ...

I used gtbasic for my first game. I don't think the LCC was that good back then. I also chose gtbasic for its easy sprite support. My next idea was to make Atomix for the Gigatron. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomix_(video_game)) I haven't been able to fit it into the graphics yet. Other ideas I ...

I tried the ROM and all games work. Thank you for contributing to the Gigaton. For a game ROM, some sort of zip/unzip for the games would be useful. I don't know if something like that is possible with a positive effort benefit.

Thanks to lb3361 for the great work. A big step for the Gigatron.

It was hobby glass (acrylic) from the hardware store 25x50cm 4mm thick. A year ago it was still available for € 4.99. I cut a plate into 3 equal parts. So two plates became a simple protection for 3 Gigatron's.
