SINGLE BOARD COMPUTER WORKSHOP AT MIDWEST GAMING CLASSIC 2020

February 20, 2020 benheck

I’m doing a “build your own single board computer” workshop at the Midwest
Gaming Classic 2020 in downtown Milwaukee this April.

The design is based on the classic Z80 (which they still manufacture believe it
or not) and is quite small, only 3 x 3″. It has an expansion port, build-in OLED
screen, Atmel MCU as screen driver/USB serial port converter and an SD card
adapter for loading BIN, HEX and saving files or doing RAM dumps.



This workshop is meant to teach how memory addressing works and you also get to
take home the sweet computer you build! Basic soldering skills will be helpful
and there’s also a decent amount of surface mount (fairly large parts to make it
do-able) so tips and tricks on how to work with that are also part of the
experience.

Sign up using the links below! (limited to 25 spots)

> Workshops



Here are the YouTube videos I’ve made discussing the design process. Once the
design has been verified it will be posted to my Github if you can’t make it to
the workshop but want to order your own copy of the PCB.

PROJECT STARTED IN 2000 FINALLY FINISHED – ATARI 2600 JUNIOR SINGLE CHIP
PORTABLE!

December 7, 2019 benheck

When I first starting buying Atari 2600 consoles for modding purposes back in
2000 (right after my website became famous) I was lucky enough that my first
Atari 2600 Junior had the ultra-rare “single chip” variant inside.

Of course this was “portablization catnip” for me so I desoldered it and tried
to make a custom PCB.  My skills at the time weren’t up to task and I feared the
chip dead. Had I know then how rare it was (I’ve never found another since) I
probably wouldn’t have tried but can’t change that now.

Flash forward to fall of 2018 and I come across the project in a junk box while
moving out of the Ben Heck Show shop. Decided to give it another go and I have
help this time – my friend Parker Dillmann has an intact single-chip 2600 Junior
so we can cross reference to it.

I documented this near-year-long process in the video below. You can also click
here for the full photo gallery with notes.

In today’s episode Jones and I discuss The Streaming Wars:

 * What all services are coming.
 * The confusion when TV shows go exclusive to channels they didn’t originally
   appear on, such as CBS shows not going to CBS All Access.
 * Which of the new services we think will do well and which will fail.
 * Is Netflix like the video store, where people will rent (watch) anything new,
   regardless of quality?
 * And a wild tangent about how neither of us liked Avengers: Endgame.

Enjoy!
