OTA updates are so impersonal. That's why I deliver my firmware updates over a bowl of ramen. Gave the hardware a sparkly red case upgrade too. #electronics #hardware #gamedev #3dprinting #attiny85

Decided my game console deserved a case. #3dprinting #blender #electronics #attiny85 #microcontroller #diyelectronics
And then there were two. My first game console found a new home so I had to make myself another. #electronics #gameconsole #attiny85

Glamour shots of my fully assembled attiny85 game console. Pocket sized but comfortable to play. Next, finishing Snake so I can play a real game on it.
Thanks @PCBWay for reaching out and sponsoring this project! The PCBs look great and also survived my truly terrible soldering (see previous posts).
A few photos of the finished attiny85 game console hardware and a second attempt at bodge wiring (see previous post for entertainingly bad 1st try). Considering the chip is 5mm wide, and it is all working, I'm feeling like I did good. #electronics #attiny85
Attiny85 game console hardware troubleshooting - Unbelievably, it does work. Macro photo for your entertainment and to document the ridiculous troubleshooting journey I took. #hardware #attiny85 #electronics
All the parts fit and now onto last checks before fabrication. At 3.5 x 9cm the game console will be pocket sized but hopefully comfortable to play and easy to solder by hand. #kicad #electronics #attiny85

Slow but forward progress on my #attiny85 game console as I get ideas of how part placement and routing might work.
Also wondering how close I can place parts and still hand solder them with high success rate.
Let the untangling begin. Actually I need to decide the general layout and dimensions of my game console first! Leaning to landscape atm. #attiny85 #electronics #kicad
Подключаем «крысу» от ЕС ПЭВМ к современному ПК
Приветствую всех! Этот шедевр советской компьютерной промышленности знаком любому интересующемуся компьютерной историей. А некоторые из тех, кому довелось с ним работать, называли его не иначе как «крысой». И вот спустя много десятилетий после его выпуска я задумался: а что, если подключить этот девайс к обычному компьютеру? Именно этим мы сегодня и займёмся. Итак, в сегодняшней статье поговорим про мышь от советского персонального компьютера ЕС1841. Узнаем, как заставить её работать и так ли она сурова, как можно подумать. Традиционно будет много интересного.
The circuit design phase might be close to finished for my #attiny85 game console! Layout done in #KiCad with some effort to make it more readable than my last project. #electronics
Breadboard prototype of my Attiny85 game console is finally complete! Demo game is running smoothly so onto hardware design ...right after I play 1 more game of Snake #electronics #gamedev #attiny85
Doing more research, it seems that the #attiny85 will suits my needs. 4 buttons and one pot will fit within the 6 pins: 2 for matrix, 1 for pot and 2 for v-usb.
Would anyone have a good place to find commonly used microchips for various projects? I've heard of chips such as the #attiny85 and #STM8S001J3, but I have no clue how to _search_ for chips. Is it a matter of going to places such as mouser or digikey and filtering until you find something you need or is there a better way to do it?
A basic game! but running slow. Starting to feel confident building a PCB for this project will be worthwhile. #attiny85 #electronics
