I am a big fan of retro homebrew computers. I have a few kits that I ordered from Tindie.com based on the RC2014 model (SC126). To keep it completely retro, I bought a classic amber terminal so I could have…

I have been working with my FPGA boards to attempt to display a test pattern on a VGA monitor. For my experiments, I bought a small VGA monitor*. It has a VGA input, as well as a HDMI input, so…
Writing C programs for speech on the SC126 (RC2014 Compatible) with a SPO256-AL2 Speech Synthesis Chip I spent some time yesterday working with ChatGPT to assist me in writing a moderately complex (based on my personal experience) C program. The…
About a year ago, I built a SC131 Pocket Sized Computer designed and developed by Stephen C Cousins on Tindie. I soldered the kit and got it up and running, but left it alone for a long time. I bought…
In this post, I will demonstrate how I converted a Haiku into algorithmic music using a context free grammar. In a previous post, I discussed how I created a song from a grammar based on a verse from the Christian…
I have designed a simple context-free grammar using Psalm 71:22 to drive the creation of a song. I decided to use the Bible as my latest muse. I was looking for a good verse to use as the foundation for…
In a previous post, I covered the wiring diagrams, finite state machines, and LED segment encoding for the MAX7219 display module wired up to the Mojo FPGA. In this post, I will cover the Lucid HDL code used to implement…
I recently ordered a few LED display modules based on the MAX7219 chip. When they arrived, I immediately began putting together projects to use them. The first project was to wire one up to my Raspberry Pi and use C…
When I was in my early 20’s, I setup my Korg Poly-Six synthesizer so that the audio output fed into a Radio Shack (Realistic) Reverb Machine with the output of that going back into the synthesizer input (a modification that…
I wanted to create a web api app that answered calls on my Raspberry Pi. The first step I learned was how to install and configure .NET core 2.0 on the Raspberry Pi. Note – .NET Core only runs on…
