[2019-05-05 20:11:34 CEST] Looks like H4th code needs a little more work [2019-05-05 20:11:38 CEST] had to try 3 times. [2019-05-05 20:11:56 CEST] Well, you are in now which is what counts [2019-05-05 20:12:16 CEST] i like the h4th way. [2019-05-05 20:12:27 CEST] but not yet quite good. [2019-05-05 20:12:46 CEST] Yes, just some debugging and polishing [2019-05-05 20:12:55 CEST] i have also a 3rd way to go online. [2019-05-05 20:13:03 CEST] How is you health now. Everything good again? [2019-05-05 20:13:16 CEST] health is ok. [2019-05-05 20:13:22 CEST] Good [2019-05-05 20:13:25 CEST] thank you for asking. [2019-05-05 20:13:35 CEST] No problem, I worry ;) [2019-05-05 20:14:13 CEST] the 3rd way is a pi zero wifi piggyback on a zx81. [2019-05-05 20:14:32 CEST] Now thats impressive. [2019-05-05 20:14:53 CEST] but still not completely finished. [2019-05-05 20:15:11 CEST] To be honest, using an ethernet cable is a problem for me as Liz likes to watch TV on Sundays [2019-05-05 20:15:32 CEST] pi zero wifi. [2019-05-05 20:15:51 CEST] no cable anymore. [2019-05-05 20:16:03 CEST] What are you doing? Zeddy controls the PI or do you send data to a PI terminal program [2019-05-05 20:16:29 CEST] i think the last one. [2019-05-05 20:16:42 CEST] Cool. [2019-05-05 20:16:49 CEST] look into the forum. [2019-05-05 20:17:13 CEST] keyword zx dual uart pi zero. [2019-05-05 20:17:17 CEST] I have a Harlequin 99% finished. A ZXNU done except for diodes and logic chips [2019-05-05 20:17:34 CEST] and a Multiface 128 finished except for logic chips [2019-05-05 20:18:25 CEST] you have been very hard-working. [2019-05-05 20:18:39 CEST] Yes, and building fences and repairing my car [2019-05-05 20:18:46 CEST] I need a holiday [2019-05-05 20:19:08 CEST] Oh, Im also using KiCAD to build a Jupiter Ace [2019-05-05 20:19:31 CEST] If I can get the PCB design correct I'll get some made up [2019-05-05 20:20:01 CEST] i would like to have a pcb of jupi ace. [2019-05-05 20:20:33 CEST] Well lets see how I get on. Im at a point now I need to print out the schematic and tick off what I have done [2019-05-05 20:20:36 CEST] there is no ula on a jupi ace, isnt it? [2019-05-05 20:20:40 CEST] No [2019-05-05 20:20:48 CEST] all just logic chips [2019-05-05 20:21:10 CEST] easy to find? [2019-05-05 20:21:17 CEST] The RAM is 6116 and ROM 2764, [2019-05-05 20:21:27 CEST] yes all logic is just 74LSxx [2019-05-05 20:21:53 CEST] Im sure that the RAM and ROM could be upgraded to newer stuff [2019-05-05 20:21:55 CEST] and the keyboard is similiar to zx81? [2019-05-05 20:22:05 CEST] Exactly the same layout [2019-05-05 20:22:14 CEST] i mean the wiring. [2019-05-05 20:22:25 CEST] Yes, same wiring [2019-05-05 20:23:17 CEST] I would probably prefer to build on a real keyboard instead of using the standard one. [2019-05-05 20:23:21 CEST] i wish you good luck. [2019-05-05 20:23:48 CEST] Well, lets see what happens. I have a great schematic from a spanish or italian [2019-05-05 20:23:48 CEST] when it will be finished? [2019-05-05 20:24:15 CEST] what is the size of the board? [2019-05-05 20:24:17 CEST] He has built one using wire wrap. But KiCad can that that and use it to design a PCB [2019-05-05 20:24:34 CEST] 21cm wide by 18.5 deep. [2019-05-05 20:25:02 CEST] But the PCB companies quote on size, which seems to go in steps of 5 cm [2019-05-05 20:25:05 CEST] that is quite large. [2019-05-05 20:25:19 CEST] so I would like to reduce the width to 20 cm [2019-05-05 20:25:24 CEST] same as the original? [2019-05-05 20:25:53 CEST] yes same, motherboard and keyboard are on the same PCB. Half and half. [2019-05-05 20:26:08 CEST] is there any graphics? [2019-05-05 20:26:26 CEST] i never have seen a jupi. [2019-05-05 20:26:29 CEST] Or it may be possible to reduce by more and ignore the original format [2019-05-05 20:26:55 CEST] Yes, sound (beeper), 256x192 (I think) hi res, Black and White display [2019-05-05 20:27:21 CEST] i am really interested to get a pcb. [2019-05-05 20:27:29 CEST] There are also lots of acessories, such as a twister board so you can use zeddy addons [2019-05-05 20:27:53 CEST] You will if it comes about. Help with checking schemas and it will be free [2019-05-05 20:28:27 CEST] gladly. [2019-05-05 20:28:31 CEST] Would original dimentions matter to you? Or would a "best fit" with seperate keyboard be acceptable [2019-05-05 20:28:49 CEST] the last one. [2019-05-05 20:28:54 CEST] Same here [2019-05-05 20:29:11 CEST] One problem is finding libraries for older components. [2019-05-05 20:29:38 CEST] It didnt come with the old RAM but I found a library with that and other stuff in it [2019-05-05 20:30:07 CEST] Next is edge connectors. Surprisingly there doesnt seem to be anything for header pins [2019-05-05 20:31:32 CEST] Are you still with us? [2019-05-05 20:31:45 CEST] are you already working on this? [2019-05-05 20:32:23 CEST] yes, I have the power side of things done, a lot of logic, ram and rom connections. About 20% done [2019-05-05 20:32:54 CEST] But its getting complicated now, so I need the layout in print form so I can tick off connections [2019-05-05 20:32:56 CEST] good to hear. [2019-05-05 20:33:35 CEST] When I try generating the PCB, I get lots of warning about unterminated connections [2019-05-05 20:33:46 CEST] So quite a bit to go [2019-05-05 20:34:34 CEST] Have you any projects on the table? [2019-05-05 20:34:40 CEST] i cant help in this direction. [2019-05-05 20:35:00 CEST] i mean with the devellopment of the pcb. [2019-05-05 20:35:12 CEST] It will get there, just get most of the work done and then see what happens [2019-05-05 20:35:20 CEST] my projects are almost finished. [2019-05-05 20:35:37 CEST] Radios? All working [2019-05-05 20:36:05 CEST] yes:, one week ago i got an old radio. [2019-05-05 20:36:14 CEST] meanwhile working. [2019-05-05 20:36:29 CEST] i had to replace 2 tubes. [2019-05-05 20:36:34 CEST] Question, can 74LS series be used instead of 74HCT? I know the LS uses more power [2019-05-05 20:36:43 CEST] and 3 caps. [2019-05-05 20:36:50 CEST] Are the tubes new or old stock from the 50s [2019-05-05 20:37:16 CEST] old stock from my stock. [2019-05-05 20:37:38 CEST] why you dont use the hct? [2019-05-05 20:37:42 CEST] Right, they must have made millions to be available today [2019-05-05 20:37:56 CEST] Thats what is says in the ZXNU build document [2019-05-05 20:38:07 CEST] But I have many LS [2019-05-05 20:38:27 CEST] the ls need more power and they are not as stable. [2019-05-05 20:38:55 CEST] but if you have such a lot then take them. [2019-05-05 20:39:06 CEST] Is stability in the range/speed that a ZXNU would run at or is it at the top end [2019-05-05 20:39:09 CEST] do you use sockets? [2019-05-05 20:39:19 CEST] Yes, ZXNU are all turned pin [2019-05-05 20:39:55 CEST] two other projectss are also finished. [2019-05-05 20:40:05 CEST] one is the stepper. [2019-05-05 20:40:55 CEST] I have the Y plane finished for the laser engraver. I used the DVD chassis in the end [2019-05-05 20:41:14 CEST] The Zeddy can send it back and forth [2019-05-05 20:41:42 CEST] did you already grave something? [2019-05-05 20:42:01 CEST] engrave [2019-05-05 20:42:35 CEST] No, I need to do the X chassis. I have to much to do in the last month. So thats been put on hold [2019-05-05 20:43:26 CEST] keep me informed about the progress. [2019-05-05 20:44:05 CEST] I will, I may need to change drivers as the ones I have only allow 1/8 step. But I think 1./16 or 1/32 step is needed for accuracy [2019-05-05 20:44:38 CEST] next weekend i will spend on the baltic sea. [2019-05-05 20:45:04 CEST] i hope for warmer wheather. [2019-05-05 20:45:05 CEST] Really, I will be in Glkasgow, near Baltic Street [2019-05-05 20:45:13 CEST] Yes, its got cold recently [2019-05-05 20:45:28 CEST] we have only 12 degrees now. [2019-05-05 20:45:30 CEST] Baltic is Glasgow slang for really cold [2019-05-05 20:45:44 CEST] interesting. [2019-05-05 20:45:56 CEST] i will be close to gdansk. [2019-05-05 20:45:59 CEST] Where on the Baltic? Are you going to a resort? [2019-05-05 20:46:13 CEST] OK, looking at maps now [2019-05-05 20:46:21 CEST] it is in poland. [2019-05-05 20:46:31 CEST] big city. [2019-05-05 20:46:46 CEST] dont know the english name. [2019-05-05 20:46:59 CEST] danzig. [2019-05-05 20:47:01 CEST] Thats where Lech Walessa started the trade union in the shipyards [2019-05-05 20:47:05 CEST] like in german. [2019-05-05 20:47:15 CEST] right. [2019-05-05 20:47:36 CEST] nice old hanse town [2019-05-05 20:47:37 CEST] It looks nice. Why did you pick to go there/ [2019-05-05 20:48:03 CEST] i never have been at the polish side of the baltic sea. [2019-05-05 20:48:24 CEST] and danzig is a travel worth. [2019-05-05 20:48:30 CEST] Right. Heh, Im in Glasgow for my sons wedding. His honeymoon is in berlin [2019-05-05 20:49:00 CEST] have a nice wedding celebration. [2019-05-05 20:49:23 CEST] Yes, it may be difficult as my ex wife and her family will be there. [2019-05-05 20:49:27 CEST] he will go to berlin just after the wedding? [2019-05-05 20:50:02 CEST] I think so, Wedding is next friday. So he may go on Saturday or Sunday [2019-05-05 20:50:32 CEST] He was there a year oir so ago and really liked the city [2019-05-05 20:50:50 CEST] berlin is very interesting. [2019-05-05 20:51:14 CEST] everybody can find something,#as in london. [2019-05-05 20:51:30 CEST] Yes, he told me a lot of stories. He doesnt usually get enthusiastic about places [2019-05-05 20:51:32 CEST] let us stop for today. [2019-05-05 20:51:57 CEST] OK, If I have anything on the Jupiter project wotrth looking at I will send it [2019-05-05 20:52:15 CEST] Not next week, we will have a holiday in Scotland after the wedding [2019-05-05 20:52:40 CEST] talking in two weeks again. [2019-05-05 20:52:48 CEST] Yes, bye for now [2019-05-05 20:52:52 CEST] bye. [2019-05-05 20:52:57 CEST] * rune quit (Leaving) [2019-05-05 20:52:59 CEST] * zheinz quit (EOT)
