Final Retro Adapter PCBs arrived!

16/08/2009 – 23:36

The final production Retro Adapter PCBs arrived yesterday. I made one up and it works perfectly. I am very happy with the world Seeed Studio did on them, especially considering they are cheap and accept files in Eagle format (so they do all the conversion or Gerber and any panelization etc). I will put together [...]

29/07/2009 – 00:41

Just been updating the <a href=”test”>main site</a> with details of the prototype PCBs that arrived yesterday. The good news is that apart from a couple of minor issues, all is well. I just need to finish a few things off with the code before doing the first small run of boards, One issue I have [...]

Saleae Logic review

10/07/2009 – 22:01

After a lot of consideration, I decided to get a Saleae Logic logic analyser to help debug my AVR code. There are a few reviews already floating around but little detail on people’s experiences of actually using the thing, so here are mine. The package is quite nice. You get the Logic, which is tiny, [...]

The first batch of PCBs is here, and looking good! Spot the deliberate mistake :) It’s not a problem though, you can easily read the backwards text.

Retro Adapter update 11/05/09

11/05/2009 – 14:39

The circuit board designs for the Retro Adapter have been finished and sent off for manufacturing at Seeed Studio. Hopefully everything will be fine and I can then do a larger production run, and start selling kits and finished units. This is the first PCB I have had professionally made, and the first time I’ve [...]

Retro Adapter V2 update

21/04/2009 – 18:43

This evening the Retro Adapter V2 site will be updated. There are two major changes. I have abandoned the idea of using a DB25 in favour of a DB9, with a DB9-DB9 jumper box being used as the case. I managed to cram everything in to the space, with only one surface mount component (the [...]

Change of design for Retro Adapter V2

22/02/2009 – 23:12

I decided to change the design of the Retro Adapter V2. Instead of using the centre pins of the DB-25 for extra option “jumpers”, I changed to using a three position switch (on – off – on). The main reason for doing this is that it frees me from just having to use a DB-25. [...]

I updated denki.world3.net with some corrections and more details on the Retro Adapter V2 and a special Sega Saturn to USB adapter I made. More details on the Retro Adapter V2 to follow. Hopefully when I’ve finished working on the prototype I will be able to so a small run of kits. From the volume [...]

Sabotaging open source

15/04/2008 – 14:00

Following on from my previous post about new forms of internet trolling, it seems that sabotaging open source projects is also a popular new pastime for asshats. Take avr-libc. It used to have two functions sbi() and cbi(). These two functions are incredibly useful, pretty much the bread and butter of what microcontrollers do. So, [...]
