 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

 I had forgotten that I ordered a pico2 expanded board when the originals were back ordered from Seeed. I got it today and built up what is in the picture. It looks great on my hdmi input on an old tv in my shop. Very fast little board. Had a board left over I used to make crystal radios on. Yeah , i am old. Jack |

Not much left on AM radio anymore. Kind of why I quit building them. Farm news and a few talk radio shows around here. |

I miss AM radio, I had a tuned frame antenna and could pick up broadcasts from all over the south pacific. A few left in Oz, I dont listen to radio any more the content is crap anyway. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

My Pico2 arrived today. I had some HDMI adaptor PCBs made and had one built ready. All worked first go with Jim's Test pattern. Thanks to Peter and others for making all this possible. "It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all" |

My favourite bit is the breadboard. We used to build a lot of stuff like that. They get singed when you try to solder surface mount stuff onto them though, that's the main reason we have to have this PCB stuff between them. It protects the breadboard. {/idiocy] Mick Zilog Inside! nascom.info for Nascom & Gemini Preliminary MMBasic docs & my PCB designs |
