I've soldered up the PCB for my RC2014 NES Controller #RetroChallenge

Thankfully, it all seems to work, so I've written about how to use this from MS-BASIC.

More work on the #RC2014 NES controller #RetroChallenge this evening.

I have designed a circuit and PCB that should allow me to bit-bang the NES controller from my RC2014 computer.

It's a great bit of kit. I'm using mine at the moment to take part in this year's #RetroChallenge.

A very short intro can be OK, such as Happy Little Diodes or L Break Into Program. These are just a few seconds long.

That’s my #RC2014Assembly name badge module built and working.

The LEDs are connected to the bus so I can see what is happening in my #RC2014 in real time. I did have to remove the LED on the RX pin for it to work when using a serial terminal.

This is a great little module.

We play “green car” on long car journeys with my youngest. You get a point for every green car you see. We also allowed the number on any bus we saw to be added to the total. However, he smashed our scores after seeing two number 700 buses in Chichester.

I didn't realise the two email fields have to be the same and were used for confirmation. Once I entered the same email address it submitted and I got the "thank you" message.

It looks like your ".inputerr" is lower priority than the ".order input" selector, so it isn't showing. The lazy fix for that would be to add an !important next to the red.

I tried to submit, but it wouldn’t. If it comes though, disregard the pre-order. I already have my microbeast.

The increasingly far right seem to have infiltrated pretty much everything now - even a political party led by a former human rights lawyer who used to let refugees sleep on his couch makes “a country of strangers” speeches - racism and hatred emboldened every day

The EHRC is not changing course on their bathroom ban.

They don’t care what the consultation said.

So what happens now? 🧵

I was just googling them. I’ve never seen so many apple varieties before. I’ll have to get down early to next market as I missed them last month.

I can’t make it this week to buy any at the market, but those veggies look good.

I can also recommend using the bustimes.org.uk website from your mobile phone. You can look at the location of the buses in real time, so you know if the bus is delayed or not.

It would be a lot cheaper to get an East Sussex Day Rider Ticket for £6.10. This gives you unlimited travel on all buses in East Sussex, so you can hop on and off as you please. We used it to get to Rye from Eastbourne and back, took a couple of hours, but our 8 year old absolutely loved it.
