Hi. You have done a very nice work. I have seen that new version of the TTGO/ESP32 adapter can use the mouse PS/2 port as a serial interface, and using that connector is possible sending power (5 volt) and connect directly the serial chip of the Z80 without voltage adapter.

I think you did a tidy job. The case could have been smaller yet maintained the same aesthetic. You made me laugh with "bee-zulls" 🙂 They sound cute.

Looks great in that case. Very old school.

Have you finished your version yet? The needle files are the key!

@@CircuitBreaker256 No, I got tied up with work. I'll definitely get the files! I'm also chucking a lot at getting the USB keyboard attached. I had a CH559 Dev board sending out what appears to be serial keyboard codes. I was also looking at the tiny USB arduino code on the Seeed Xiao. That should be able to do it.

@@droganPaul Interesting about the CH559 board. I have tried plugging a usb keyboard into the CH376 module that is on the Z80 Playground. I was able to query it for make and model of keyboard etc, but got no further. I'll keep trying.

Nice work, the case looks great! The tool 0:35 is usually called a "centre punch".

A tapered reamer is useful for over sized holes

@CircuitBreaker256 3 жыл бұрын

I'll buy one!

The other great tool is a stepped drill. Allows you to drill holes from 4mm to 12mm or 15mm. Larger end sizes available but can be a lot more expensive.
