Not sure if I ever showed this off. Here's a Famicom RGB mod board I made at the start of last year. It has 17 built-in colour palettes which you can change on the fly. This is actually where the CPLDs for the first adapters came from!

All the adapters are finished and tested! I was able to package and ship most of them this afternoon... but a few are left which I'll package and ship first thing tomorrow.

Going to try to post adapter progress and updates here occasionally. Had to improvise a new flash programmer today, as I just ran out of all the ones I programmed months ago. Making good progress on this batch though, they should be finished either tomorrow or the next day 🤞

For years my cnc has skipped steps, especially with a heavier-duty spindle. Little did I know, all it took to work perfectly was to spend £26 on new stepper drivers from Amazon...no need for a £300+ Gecko G540 here!

The dev-board prototype vs the first soldered up custom PCB. Many months of banging my head against a wall to get to this stage.

Finished a project I've been working on! This whole 3D prining malarkey actually seems quite useful! Video soon...

After trying many different temperatures, speeds, settings and glues... I seem to have finally printed something!

It seems to work surprisingly well straight out the box! Just some minor upgrades required...

Finished the mobile bandsaw base! Also stopped the table wobbling and trued up the tilt trunnion and fence. Only £40!

Bought a 305mm (12") bandsaw today. Works great besides the table being wobbly (fixable)... £40 and hardly used!!! :D
