I've recently acquired a Sam from eBay (correction to my earlier
comments: not from Colin — that was a misunderstanding on my part of
the actual seller's advert) and it was advertised as coming with a
Kaleidoscope. My problem is that having identified which box must be
the Kaleidoscope by deduction, the bundled software does absolutely
nothing. So, questions:
1) should the Kaleidoscope be a box that contains four ICs (t74ls20b1,
gd74ls374, gd74ls14, t74ls133b1), some resistors and capacitors and
about half a board of empty space with gaps for other chips and stuff?
2) should the Kaleidoscope function correctly across a composite video
output drawn from the Sam's scart port?
I'm actually really rubbish with circuity stuff, please forgive me if
I've messed up my terminology or anything like that. What I think I
know is from reading datasheets for programming information then
skipping all the pin and signal stuff.
