Introduction to the IMSAI 8080 Binary Counter In this section, we’ll display the IMSAI 8080 Binary Counter onto the programmed outputs. Keep in mind the programmed outputs are in the upper left corner of the IMSAI front panel. Although there are several ways to do this, we’re going to concentrate Read More »
Introduction to Calculating PID in BASIC In this section, we’ll be Calculating PID in BASIC to find the values for Proportional, Integral, and Derivative. BASIC is a very common programming language that has been around since the 70’s. This code should run on most computers with basic installed. Particularly, I’m Read More »
Introduction to IMSAI 8080 Programmed I/O The IMSAI 8080 Programmed I/O allows you to provide output for the operator, and read his input. For example, each indicator light might represent a different condition happening in your program. Meanwhile, the operator can use the sensor switches to provide input to your Read More »
Introduction to IMSAI 8080 Console I/O In this section, we’ll send text to the IMSAI 8080 Console I/O. This is useful in your programs for interfacing with the operator. In this case, we’ll be using assembly language. The assembler I’m using is Z80ASM. I’ll just be creating a non-document file Read More »
Introduction to the Digital I/O module for the RC2014 The Digital I/O module for RC2014 allows you to use inputs and outputs in your program. You can build this in less than an hour, and use it in your projects for ports 0 to 3. Diodes disable the 74HC138 port Read More »
Introduction to Using Telnet under Windows It’s important to realize that Using Telnet under Windows or any other operating system is insecure. In other words, telnet does not encrypt the data. A better option would be to use a protocol such as Secure Shell (SSH). On the other hand, there Read More »
Introduction to Using UNZIP on the Altair Duino Using UNZIP on the Altair allows you to zip multiple files on another machine. Once you zip a series of files, they become one file with the .ZIP extension. That way, you only need to transfer one file over XMODEM. Not only Read More »
Introduction to Zeta V2 With PartPortProp The Zeta V2 With PartPortProp is a Z80 computer with 512k RAM/ROM. This machine is fully capable of running CP/M, and you have several options for storage. First, you can store files to an SD module. Secondly, you can use a Floppy Disk drive. Read More »
Introduction to Building the Southern Cross Computer Building the Southern Cross Computer is very easy, even for beginners. There are no surface mount components, and the soldering pads are large, and durable. The purpose of the Southern Cross Computer is to teach you how computers work. You can find the Read More »
Introduction to RC2014 Serial Communication with Arduino When we set up RC2014 Serial Communication with Arduino, we simply need to use 3 wires. This will be Transmit, Receive, and Ground. In this section, we’ll simply get the Arduino to print “Hello World” to the RC2014. The maximum distance for this Read More »
