Still better than nothing...

The C1MPF (OSI 600D+OSI 610) also has feet :)

I'll figure something out I'm sure.

Well the PCBs for the improved LED display and the CDP1861 replacement have been shipped and should be here in a week :)

Annoyingly none of the stuff I ordered before easter has arrived, so everything is on hold Cosmac wise, though my Atom colour board did arrive on Saturday so I'll have a look through the BoM for that and see what parts I have for it in my spares drawers.

More stuff arrived today:


Namely the enhanced LED board and the CDP1861 replacement, both here 5 days earlier than shipping predicted :)

Yay! :-)

OK, so everything is ordered for the CDP1861 replacement, though I have had to go to AliExpress for some parts as the prices for shipping for small items from the likes of Digi-Key, Farnell, RS and the like are really excessive.

I still need some parts for the add on large display, but I had six gorgeous TIL311 displays arrive today:


Which should look great when all hooked up.

The whole thing looks very nice :)


You get a 4 digit memory location display and a 2 digit memory contents display.

Well I've been finding it difficult to get hold of 16 pin dip resistor packs at 120R, so I made my own:


Just got to build the 2nd and I can see if we get anything on the original 2 digit display.

And the display runs :)


:girldance:

I also get 00 sometimes, but I am still waiting on one of the ICs that control the keyboard so can't go any further just now.

The resistor banks are just there to control LED brightness it seems.

Yay!!!
