C.<p>For anyone who's curious, here's some crappy photos of the two boards I made. They're divided up differently than the original in mine, the "volume board" (a better description would be distortion and tone controls) includes the opamps 3a, 3b, 2a, and 2b, plus their surrounding components as well, in addition to everything inside the double lines. Even so, that board is a lot sparser than the "main" board.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/protoboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>protoboard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/breadboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>breadboard</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/circuit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>circuit</span></a></p>
Shonky Electronics!<p>Previous <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/breadboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>breadboard</span></a> abominations interfacing a FT245 to a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rc2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rc2014</span></a> have been done largely from memory and having several webpages open. </p><p>I figured it was time to actually capture a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/schematic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>schematic</span></a> and I also updated the logic to include bit 7 of the 6850 control register (interrupt enable) and an open collector interrupt request.</p><p>Rebuilt it with the new logic using the schematic and it all still works, along with better interrupt capability.</p><p>Still a mess though!</p>
Alanna 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️<p>I got uploading to a SRAM working from an Arduino Nano! I have also tested properly resetting the 68008 from the Arduino and changing the pins to pull up. I should probably throw together a tiny bootloader and put a 512K SRAM on instead, and I think perhaps a SPLD or CPLD might replace the mess near the RAM more elegantly - a couple of daisy chained ATF22V10s might work well! It all seems stable at ~6Mhz despite being on a breadboard.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/m68k" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>m68k</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/breadboard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>breadboard</span></a></p>
