Is this project open? #1

Open bog-dan-ro opened 1 year ago

Hi,

I'd like to contribute by adding a few changes to your design but I can't find the sources. E.g. USB type-c power, try to make some room for an arduino nano to add fddEmu support (see https://github.com/acemielektron/fddEMU), etc.

If this project is open, can you please add the sources (kicad, eagle, etc) to this repo ?

Hi, The project is not open yet, maybe later.I use Altium, if you would like I can send you the schematic source. Did you try the fddEmu with zx spectrum before? If yes, does it work? My email is @.***" Don

Hi,

Yes I tried it on a zx spectrum clone and it worked perfectly in basic but also in CP/M v2.2. The fddEmu is not only working on ZX Spectrum but also on my PC as well.

The schematics for fddEmu are quite easy and I thought it will be nice if we can make room for an arduino nano on your PCB. The display and the navigation buttons will be more usable if they are move to the top of the case (if there is room).

I can not see your email address, but if you'll opensource it I'll wait for it to land here. Altium is for professional use and it costs a lot of money. Probably most of the hobbyists out there (including me) don't use it. If there is no way to export the project to kicad or eagle or any other free to use for hobbyists solution, I don't think you'll get to many contributors :).

Hi, I will modify the PCB layout by adding fddEmu and after I get PCB I will send it to you for build it. Maybe github remove my email, you can find it on pcb picture or silkscreen layer.Kicad or Eagle is difficult for me to use, if I can convert Altuim to kicad I will let you know. Thanks,Don

Don't order the new PCB yet :). If you have an arduino nano around you should test it first to see if it works with ZX-Nuvo-3. Also I'd like to think a bit if there is a way to control the fddEMU using the zx spectrum keyboard/video ;-).

fddEMU needs a screen and a few buttons to select the menu items. I'd like to think if we get rid of the buttons, we already have plenty on spectrum itself, and maybe get rid also of the screen. fddEmu has serial (rs232) support and if there is an easier way to communicate with it from basic (here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53hfur7ZBJU is an example but from CP/M) we don't need the screen.

So, let's think a bit, maybe there are more solutions ;-).
