New 576NUC+ Daughter Board in the Works (cont. 3)

12/10/2023

 
This is what the production unit looks like. Well at least the boards, I still need to rework the 3D printed case as well.

The NUCplus4-Main Board is now at version 1.5, having gone through two previous sample board runs and several on paper only design improvements. And the NUCplus4-FujiNet Plug-In Board is at version 1.4 due to several evolutionary advancements, although this is the first time its taken actual physical form.

It took me about 3 hours to build both of these, and then another few hours tweaking the firmware on the PIC chips to take it to where I wanted to go with the UI, which is entirely under PS/2 keyboard control - no push buttons, slide switches, or toggle switches.

I'm going to keep this blog post short, but I promise to reveal much more in the next one to come.

Stay tuned.

    My name is Michael St. Pierre and in the early 90's I decided to create my very first Atari 8-Bit upgrade. It was called TransKey.
    ---Then soon after Atari folded and I left the scene ---
    25 years later I came back with a mission to improve upon what I had started so long ago.
