Tag: 1088xld

Lets a 1088XLD emulate a joystick with its PS/2 keyboard arrow and trigger keys.

The project publishes schematics, Gerbers for both required boards, a bill of materials, and TK-II 2.7J firmware. A complete installation needs the piggyback board, interface board, ribbon cable, and programmed keyboard-controller firmware. The three auxiliary outputs are momentary open-collector signals and may need latches for some uses.

Converts Sophia or VBXE RGB video to VGA inside a 1088XLD.

The project publishes schematics, Gerbers, source, and PIC12F1572 firmware, but requires a separate GBS-8200 board and mechanical installation. Firmware 1.2 is beta, high-resolution modes are untested, and its rudimentary presets do not work with every monitor. The maker notes that Sophia2 is generally the better universal VGA and DVI solution.
