I have one of yours bought few years back its great.
My friend wanted one and bought an Ali Special, it went back for a refund 😂
I sent an image of your post, he will be happy 🤣
So Close
PicoIDE it be amazing if it got to 1000%
at this moment in time it is handled by the front panel esp32 which also controls the front panel in general.
when all open source, you could make your own board with an esp32 to connect to the picoide base board
10 hours left for the PicoIDE, you can watch this video by Rees if you want to know more about the device

Will be test printing at some point, need to figure out best angle
nice tip and a tasty treat
Neogeo AES with original too case sitting on a 3d printed pink bottom case
NeoGeo AES 3D printed bottom
Some minor adjustments for @pointerfunction.bsky.social to fix, otherwise fits great 😁
The Sovol SV08 Max for me printed great.
yes there are VFDs but thats because i never calibrated it for them 😂.
I did buy a chamber heater for it, pain to fit as i need to access under it and its heavy and big

NeoGeo AES bottom case preview on Orca
First couple of layers printed on the sovol sv08max
Close up and the vents
Doing a test print of a neogeo’s aes bottom by @pointerfunction.bsky.social in his favourite colour pink transparent petg 😂
Defo fit some solar panels and batteries on/within that building.
shame the expert @ctrl-alt-rees.com took down his videos for pointers
can i come too ? 😂
New blog post: Remote diagnosing a PET 2001 video fault from one photograph.
blog.tynemouthsoftware.co.uk/2026/02/diag...
Includes a look at how the PET video system works with redrawn schematics.
It also turns out to be a surprisingly early PET 2001.

My blog is now sponsored by JLCPCB, although this was not quite how I planned to announce that.
i also have this to do 🙂 with a cpu upgrade.
Back in black (soon)
i love my pinecil, knife tip for ic’s is awesome
Showing the Flashfloppy PCB for the Einstein that uses Edge Connector
Showing the Flashfloppy PCB installed in the Tatung Einstein
Showing the Flashfloppy loaded a game
Showing the front of the Tatung Einstein with new Flashfloppy installed
Todays build was also another flashfloppy pcb but for the Tatung Einstein. It uses the 3” drive but the drive is different to the CPC and Spectrum
Its slightly bigger and also its an Edge connector like on 5.25” PC Drives
All works, and yes will print a black case for it
Cases still need tweaking
CFDFF PCB for the 3” drives that go in the CPC or Spectrum +3
CFDFF PCB for the 3” drives fitted in the Amstrad CPC 6128
Today built myself a specific CPC 3” drive flashfloppy pcb with sdcard and jog wheel.
The shell is already done by @pointerfunction.bsky.social
Not sure how you get the rom data out of the D6600A NEC 4bit microcontroller.

Using the new Laser Active Remote to open the drawer.
Rebuilt my Laser Active Remote with new PCB as the old one was Battery Damaged.
Transferred all the old components and it Works!
The PicoIDE Crowd Supply campaign is now live! Back the project to be among the first to get yours! PicoIDE is an open IDE/ATAPI drive emulator for retro systems. www.crowdsupply.com/polpotronics...
The Dust may have helped 😂🤣
i started to 3d scan some items of mine.
Starting with the Grundy New Brain and the metal bit that holds the motherboard and ram board.
Using the Creality Raptor X Pro.
Still getting use to it, but the Creality Scan 4 is much improved.
Fancy building a miniITX Einstein, well now you can 😁
Was it this chip PCF8583P ? i cant remember now, but if so still available even on amazon 😂
Need a new Acorn A3000 Motherboard because yours is battery damaged, Back in stock at Rob’s new store.
He also has some Amiga 500++’s boards too

Problem will be the microcontroller in it. but not to say a stm32 or something with the right remote codes could work.
The remote case is already modelled by @pointerfunction.bsky.social
We were discussing how to do the rubber bit for the key presses 😂
a mould with silicone and conductive pads
