Nice! Yah, I was assuming you would want two pieces that interlock somehow and use the holes for alignment/registration. I guess a retained metal thread or indented nut in one half of the shell could allow easy screwing and unscrewing from the other side using very short bolts or screws, and might

Should be no problem. I wasn't sure how best to do a case yet so that's why it has holes in the corners. One basic option is just a cover on the out side held on your only by glue or mounting tape, and using the holes for registration or alignment, and maybe also for glue, or just friction, make th

That's great work! Is there enough clearance around the modern version that a 3d-printed case could fit? On Tue, Sep 12, 2023, 01:47 Brian K. White wrote: > > The unverified schematic I arrived at from beeping out an original NODE > DATAPAC is now verified. > > Based on that best guess original

The unverified schematic I arrived at from beeping out an original NODE DATAPAC is now verified. Based on that best guess original schematic I made a new schematic that uses 1 256k sram instead of 8 32k sram, but otherwise replicates the original circuit with the way the binary counters and
