Another "Propodore"...

Don't really want to call it Propodore so I don't have a name for my creation yet...
Feel free to name it... tongue.gif

This is basically a Replica 1 (www.brielcomputers.com/wik/index.php?title=Replica_1) with a Propeller Protoboard that takes care of serial communication, VGA display and reading the Commodore 64 keyboard...

In the picture of the open C=64 case you can see the 38400 Baud "Plug and Pray" card for the Replica on the far left.
The Replica 1 in the middle, I have an older version so it does not look like the one on the home page.
And finally the Propeller Protoboard on the right to the Replica.
A piece of the C=64 motherboard was kept so the right view of the case would still look as a C=64 and it also enables me to use the C=64 power supply to supply the 5V...

It's far from finished, I need to re-write the monitor code for the Replica and add Basic.
The code for the Protoboard need to be cleaned up as well...

I'll keep you posted...

Experience level:
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Let's connect the motor to pin 1, it's a 6V motor so it should be fine.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] OK, I got my resistors hooked up with the LEDs.
[noparse][[/noparse]X] I got the Motor hooked up with the H-bridge and the 555 is supplying the PWM.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Now, if I can only program the BOE-BOT to interface with he Flux Capacitor.
[noparse][[/noparse] ] I dream in SX28 assembler...

    I love it!!!! An Apple Replica I in a C=64 case. I'm not sure who would
    be more disturbed by this... comp.sys.cbm or comp.sys.apple2 <SMIRK>

    Share your Prop-to-C64 keyboard hookups will you? [noparse]:)[/noparse]

    Maybe FrankenProp since its both Apple and Commodore... wink.gif

    If you look at the Commodore 64 keyboard connector it has 20 pins.
    Let's say that pin 19 is the one that is blocked and used for orientation.
    Then we have pin 1-8 on the keyboard hooked up to p0-p7 on the protoboard with a diode (anode at the prop side).
    Pin 9-16 on the keyboard is hooked up to p8-p15 via a 220ohm resistor and 10K pull down resistor...

    The replica 1 is an Apple I replica.. Hence an "Apple" [noparse]:)[/noparse]
