Can my homebrew computer on breadboard control a real-world device? Yes it can!π
This is 1980s style computing with some basic transistor interfacing to allow a pin on the homebrew's AY-3-8910 chip to control a fan!π€

Spotted on an air bridge boarding a flight from Paris. I haven't seen tech like this probably since the early 90s..
Yay retro computing for the win π€ π ππ½

Blinkenlights are back - computers seem more 'alive' when they're flickering lights at you, and if you know what to look for it can even give an idea of what the machine is doing!

Port of a game from dflat to native Oric - easier for folks to try using emulator or even real machine.
I've made some improvements too e.g. the game music which is a decent rendition (not by me!) of a legendary electronic track.

Work has been keeping me crazy busy. But had a nice surprise today at an event hosted by the National Edge AI Hub at @UniofNewcastle
They have a small display of computing history and I was delighted that my dear Oric-1 features!π€π€

Tetris converted from dflat to C using OSDK toolset - now that's much smoother!

Are you sure weβre not twins π€£ likewise. Dad got me a specky 48k. We had a 2600. All started the obsession. Same money was tight. I got my garage converted into an office end of last year and that gave me the space to start collecting properly π₯°
