Atari 2600 Controller Shield PCB Build Guide

Here are the build notes for my Atari 2600 Controller Shield PCB Design. Recall from my design notes that this version doesn't deal with paddles very well Here is an updated version that supports paddles better, but at the expense of requiring more complex code to read them: Atari 2600 Controller Shield PCB Revisited. Warning! I strongly … Continue reading Atari 2600 Controller Shield PCB Build Guide →

Atari 2600 Controller Shield PCB Design

This is an Arduino Uno shield format PCB for hooking up two Atari 2600 style controllers to an Arduino. Note: this iteration of the design doesn't really do the paddles very well, but it works fine for joysticks and keypad controllers.

picoDexed + MiniDexed EuroRack

Since attempting my picoDexed + StackyPi + MiniDexed EuroRack build and failing, I've found another Pico-to-Zero board that is provided as open source, so I've had some made. This post details how to get that running with my MiniDexed Zero Eurorack module. Warning! I strongly recommend using old or second hand equipment for your experiments.  I … Continue reading picoDexed + MiniDexed EuroRack →
