On the Electron it's also starting, for more information look here.

Just to inform you, I have posted all the paid orders to the UK. And I have ordered a new batch of ten boards.

I can confirm it's compatible with WiCFS and like I said, playing it is a real challenge. However, it is a real fast game. Impressive work!

A new step: the first printed page from the Electron over WiFi: print1.jpg print2.jpg It's not perfect yet because the printer gives a time-out error and the AT commands are also printed which it should not do. I haven't mastered the ESP8266 pass-through mode completely. But there is hope :lol:

I saw this yesterday on your Youtube channel. Looks impressive but quite difficult to play
Can you also create UEF files .... for WiFi connected Elks?

Does vdu 12 or Ctrl- L start the print job just before ctrl-c?

Sweet dream or nightmare? This morning I woke up with the idea to usethe RS232 TTL adapter (from WiFi printing ) in combination with the ESP8266 module from the Electron. That could create the necessary WiFi hardware for the Beeb and the Master. I added extra RAM to the Electron because it has slow ...

You are really a great help for me. Thanks to you I did some experiments and it seems that printing via the network is just as simple as on a good old matrix printer from BITD. On my Mac I did a telnet to port 9100 of my printer and it responded: MacDevelop:~ roland$ telnet 169.254.141.196 9100 Tryi...

Well that's really simple hardware compared to my ElkWiFi board. But the Elk has no serial port so I had to make it complicated :lol: Can you also download files from the internet with this interface? Assuming you write the correct software for it. How do you give instructions to the D1, like connec...

Thanks, this looks quite simple. Once I establish a TCP connection with the printer I only need to send some control codes and the text. Just like on my good old Seikosha SP180-AI dot matrix printer BITD

The picture is really bad as it is using a composite video cable plugged into the empty modulator and this is wired directly to R11. However, it is definitely a working ATOM from a CPU, RAM, PPIA, and VDG point of view. Good work =D> Normally the video output is taken from R6 but you did that in th...

I am very interested in this project since I am working on a printer driver for the ElkWiFi board. The part to communicate with the wireless lan is already done as you can read here . So if you already have some software to convert the plain text to PCL and send it to the printer that would save me ...

You're on the list for the second batch
And yes .... there is an online archive for this device coming up

Acornsoft Peeko-Computer.
I've been after this for ages and always been pipped at the post.

I have also a German Electron version of Peeko-Computer. Just drop me a PM if you're interested in that too.

I'll put you all on the list. No problem. Oh, you've convinced me then! Yes, please. No rush, and we'll have to sort out postage to NZ if you're OK sending it this way. :D I don't mind sending a packet to NZ. However, the shipment costs are quite high (about €30.00) so if there are more orders from ...

I have added that code to WiCFS and now it loads and starts Arcadians without any other tricks needed. So it is a fix

Hi Dave,

I did search for low profile sockets but didn't find any. Do you perhaps have part numbers from Mouser or Farnell?

Greetings,
Roland

Would it make sense if I add this code at .stl_end:

Can you check if there's a 60Hz square wave on pin 7 of the 8255? This is the FS signal from the 6847. The Atom waits for this signal when it wants to write to the screen. And since it starts with clearing the screen it needs this signal.

At the moment all modules are sold out but please keep asking .... I want to know if I have to order 5, 10 or even more additional boards. I already ordered 20 ESP8266 modules :lol: I expect them to arrive in the second week of October. The first five persons who ordered one will get payment informa...

The game is just in the air at http://acornatom.nl/ddd.uef

This is really great. Amazing
But I doubt that it is cheap when you have to use a Beeb housing for it

Can you post some more information like the measurements of the pieces. I'd like to build one in plexiglass.

I forked this topic from the ElkWiFi topic to keep things a bit separated and clear. As it looks now, a Master version of the ElkWiFi will take some time. I agree with Hoglet to focus on the Electron first. Soon I am going to release the source codes, except for the KiCad files. The reason for that ...

Since I have loads of Atom documentation and software on acornatom.nl it might be useful to attend this kick-off meeting.

A nice Philips colour monitor for my Electron

Last Sunday I already downloaded about UEF 998 files from http://www.stairwaytohell.com/electron/uefarchive/ WGET in Linux is a nice tool

I just don't know if it's allowed to redistribute them..... Unzipping and un-g-zipping them is easy to do with some scripting.

This idea was just for if I have to modify a lot of the board to make it physically fit into the Master. In that scenario I can do a completely new build that fits the Beeb as well. Of course, still can both be done; after all, Beeb users might want this as well

MartinB has informed me that there are different versions for the Elk and BBC/Master of UPCFS. So this version definitively won't work on a Master. I might try to convert the BBC version to WiCFS. What about a WiFi board version for the 1MHz bus connector? It will work on a Master, BBC and Electron ...

Thank you Dave for testing. After all, I don't find it too bad after all. Like I mentioned before I don't have a Master and didn't to much research for Master compatibility other than Dave Hitchins' directions to feed some of the Master specific into the CPLD. That was a good choice since you did no...

Perhaps there once was a colour board in that Atom; that might have worn out the 6847 socket.
