Re: Look what's arrived!
OK I have done a new spin, with minimal changes, other than fixing the connectors between the boards. I have printed and sanity checked all the traces and I'll order tonight.
Wish me luck, folks

Re: Look what's arrived!
It won't be this fortnight, but I'll aim to get a new set of boards ordered next fortnight
(It takes quite a long time for the orders to get to me, so don't expect any updates for a month or so, I'm afraid.)

Re: Look what's arrived!
OK I unscrambled the scrambled lines, put horrible dodgy fly leads in and... It actually works! As a 0.1alpha product, it actually works. I am amazed . IMG20221125165638.jpg IMG20221125165127.jpg I'll need yet another "spin" of this but in principle it works. I was happily playing various games, and...

Re: Look what's arrived!
Oh wow! Was I drinking Cough Syrup when I did the keyboard board???
Only 2 of the 10 wires go to the right place. Tomorrow night I'll try unscrambling them and see if I get any life..
Progress, just very slow progress.

Re: Look what's arrived!
OK so I have definitely stuffed up something here. even shorting the 3 pins together doesn't work. I'm going to need to sit down and work out where my schematic got corrupted and start there. At this point I don't trust it at all.

Re: Look what's arrived!
OK so I STILL have a bug somewhere. I need to do some more sanity work on this.
Back to the schematics...

Re: Look what's arrived!
OK, so I know I haven't posted for a while. You can blame me getting FOUR Tandy CoCo2s and fixing them :-D BUT I did do some checking. I traced all the wires and they had connectivity through. That meant there was a mistake in my design. Having a look at the schematics showed me where I'd gone wrong...
