I was enjoying a bit of silence on an otherwise busy Monday morning! ;-)
I managed to get the ‘fixed’ version after deleting the downloaded one from my PocketCasts app a couple of times. Thanks!
Inspired by the ever-inventive @msmadlemon.bsky.social I finally threw together a joystick tester. Very simple but effective. It’s quicker/easier than a continuity test with a meter. My thrown together solution is much less elegant than Maddi’s :)
Definitely, agree on all points :)
Hear hear, I barely consider making my own cables even though I could. These are so good.
Definitely got a bit more life in it 😂
Now that looks like a nice machine! ☺️
A few months ago I replaced the capacitors on my Amiga 1200. After some careful consideration I opted for the controversial pliers and twisting technique. It seems like the easiest method to remove the old caps. Very gradual twists to start, slowly increasing. Even corroded pads were unscathed!
I enjoyed listening to you on the podcast recently. I had Amigas growing up but never coded with them. Will need to catch some of your videos.
Thanks, although I don’t seem to have the option to send you a PM. Maybe you have to follow me first? :-/ I’m new to Bluesky and so not sure if I’m missing it somewhere.
@commodorelad.uk hi Adam, I enjoyed listening to you recently on More Fun Talking Retro. I grew up with Amigas during my teens and am reliving those times now! I wondered if I may send you a private message regarding a C64 query if that’s ok?
Loving your podcasts (and YouTube videos) Lee, thank you. Looking forward to listening to the new episode on my lunchtime walks!
I recently opened up a lovely #heathkit #signalgenerator and also added an adapter from coax to mono 3.5 audio jack. It’s a rather lovely build inside.
Here’s a picture of the synthesiser I have building on and off for the last five years or so. Mostly based on schematics shared by others and a few of my own modifications and designs.
