Andrew Gale Xmas trees can play Simon, I made a gamepad for it before CamJam Raspberry Jam but I did not have time to program it. During #CamJam Rob Bricheno aka Rob, did and made a cracking version for it.

Andrew Gale Brian Corteil 🤖 CamJam Raspberry Jam Thank you for making this, I enjoyed using it. I liked that I can just set a pin for each LED instead of something complicated. The game is here if you want to play gist.github.com/rbricheno/5d52… We had fun changing the speed to make a super fast or slow game, or random speed! 🤪

This evening I have been soldering and programming Python on my new board from Andrew Gale, the "Trio of Trees". A nice simple board with 15 bright LEDs (red, yellow and green) in the shape of three trees.

All December we've been meaning to put up Christmas decorations. This is as far as I got in the office. LOL. Thanks Andrew Gale :-)

The Brian² custom PCB I designed for our #PiWars robot. 2 errors, luckily both have workarounds. 1 was a missed footprint for a resistor, l was able to solder it across the two pads it was meant to bridge, the I2C socket footprint needs custom lead, pins labelled incorrectly

Which project should I not get round to first? The 6502 homebrew computer that keeps going round my head or the Z80 one?!

Finally made the pilgrimage to Cricklewood Electronics - the place I first bought some components from (by mail order) back in the 1980s....

Feeling nostalgic for 'old school' hobby electronics... maybe I should knock something up on veroboard or maybe even etch a PCB that I've drawn myself using nail varnish...

An exciting find on a friend's bookshelf!

Where is the new non-Twitter place to discuss Raspberry Pi and electronics stuff?! I've never ventured into Mastodon but is that an acceptable alternative to the old Twitter?

OK, I'm setting myself the challenge of getting my RC2014 RC2014 built and running before Computing History 's retro event in November!

Finally got round to making a start on my #RC2014 ... I'm making some modules on veroboard and I have to say that I'm very much enjoying it. Quite nostalgic and more fun than drawing PCB traces on a computer screen. Also watching old Columbos whilst I do it!

A bit messy but here is the first of my veroboard #RC2014 boards - it's the 8K ROM board
