Thur 2/1: Redrawing the TRS-80 MC-10 Schematic in KiCad 8 RC2!

We repaired one of these on-stream a couple of years ago. Now it is time to add its schematic to the Bit Preserve archive.

... and done! Only found 5 bugs in KiCad 8! :)

Thur 1/25 Stream: Checking out KiCad 8 RC2 by drawing an extender card for the Mega IIe:

Hey @48kRAM, Did you get your ZX Spectrum Next tracking number too?

Here are some lessons I learned when trying to turn on a recent RP2040-based tool I designed.

Doing end-of-year photo album clean-up. I came across this picture in a forgotten 2015 folder.

At one point, this was my entire retro-computing collection.

KiCad supports super- and sub-scripts...

Thur 12/14: Is this live stream when we finally finish the Apple II+ schematic in KiCad? There's only ONE way to find out... https://youtube.com/live/vYXDW7x8n9k

Thur 11/30 Stream: Let's correct some things on the Mega IIe rev 3 design!

Mega IIe: An Apple IIe-compatible computer build around the Mega-II chip from an Apple IIGS.

I streamed this project for a couple of years.

Here's the final video.

Related to Supercon, look what arrived today, @adistuder ...

This talk on restoring the Apollo Guidence Computer given by Marc is the one I looked most forward to… and it did not disappoint! https://youtube.com/curiousmarc #HackadaySupercon

These surfaces borrow concepts from Orgami to fold into different shapes.

Check out these “Robotic Surfaces” presented by Jesse Gonzalez. The bubbles are individually controlled. (You can see some demos here: https://gonzalez.ink). These are built with a layer-by-layer design with a PCB as a base. #HackadaySupercon

Pathfinder (prototype)

Pierce Nicols shows off Pathfinder: A robot prototype that sails. It started with laser cut plywood, 3d printed parts, and RC model components. Then we learned about what changed. #HackadaySupercon

Dr. Prutchi shows how armatures can participate pin deep space exploration by receiving signals from spacecraft. (and compares it to watching blades of grass grow, lol.) #hackadaysupercon
