I fancy making another electronics kit, looking at the RC2014 but I don't know what I would do with it once built !

Who needs a fancy PlayStation or XBox when you can play Kill The Bit on your #RC2014 Orton 3C instead. All 28 bytes were toggled in by hand.

Unlimited Spirits - amazing #ZXSpectrum 128K music! Listened to this a lot while waiting for my SAM Coupe to arrive that month in 1993! I use this music to test ZXTT modules I make to clock AY chips on Ed Brindley's #RC2014 YM/AY soundcard at same frequency as Spec.

I’ve been using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 to spy on my #RC2014 Orton 3C’s data bus. At the moment this just displays the hex value it can currently see. This means I can make sure the values I’ve toggled in are correct without having to mentally convert from binary.

SID Soundchip Interface for RC2014 and compatibles
It's not just the #SAMCoupe I develop for. In recent years I've also been making peripherals for the #ZXSpectrum and #RC2014 (& compatibles, including the ZX Spectrum via a Bus adapter.)

My #RC2014 Orton 3C computer is up and running.
This is a really low level Z80 computer that you program using the switches on the front panel.
In this case, I’m calling a ROM routine that reads the switches on the left, displays them on the LEDs, then rotates them left.

Orton 3C panel running on an RC2014 Picasso computer
Testing out my #RC2014 Orton 3C Digital IO module on my #RC2014 Picasso.
The power light is blinding, so I may need to swap the resistor for a bigger value like the numbered LEDs.
Apart from that, it’s all looking good for both input and output.

Quick question @rc2014 or @shieladixon - is there a "starting programming for rc2014" thing anywhere?
I'm getting it slowly pieced together (largely starting with that Google Groups thread that comes up after a search). Happy to keep just playing and finding out, but just checking I'm not […]

SID Soundchip Interface for RC2014 and systems with a compatible expansion slot.
SID Soundchip Interface for the SAM Coupe
The only soundchip I had in the 80's was the AY, in my ZX Spectrum +2!
But I certainly appreciate the SID - it's such an awesome sound. I produce a variety of interfaces to use it on other systems - #samcoupe, #rc2014 and compatibles (including the #zxspectrum via a ZX-RC Bus Adapter I produce).

That's a very elegant mounting solution @fuzzweed.co.uk has for the SID and SAA1099P soundchip interfaces on his custom computer board!
(Anyone after some fun #chiptune #soundchip stuff for #RC2014 and #Z80 compatibles, or their own 6502 based computer in this instance, see 2014.samcoupe.com)

Bus Adapter to use RC2014 peripherals on the ZX Spectrum
🙂 I've released a handful of interfaces for the #RC2014 and compatibles since 2019, mainly soundchip related, but also adapters so you can use RC peripherals on the #ZXSpectrum and #SAMCoupe! With other Z80 projects also offering RC style expansions port the ecosystem expands.

A mostly complete RC2014 Classic II 8 bit kit computer on a dirty MDF workbench. It has a blue backplane flush on the bench with eight "slots" - each a single row of pin sockets - and five small blue cards inserted. There are various electronic components soldered to the boards, but all the chip sockets are empty.
Been sitting on this #RC2014 for a year and finally got off my ass and built it.
Haven't socketed the IC's yet, waiting for the alcohol to dry after scrubbing all the flux off.

Now this is really, really fun! @fuzzweed.co.uk's homebrew 6502 system with some crafty interfacing to drive the 6 channel SAA1099P soundchip interface I released for #Z80 / #RC2014!

A SAM Coupe computer surrounded by some of the hardware I produce for it.
SAM Revival magazine
My SAM Coupe stand at the Retro Computer Festival 2024 in Cambridge, UK
Thanks for the mention! The hardware I make for #RC2014 and compatibles is a mere fraction of the #retrocomputing stuff I do. My main work is for the #SAMCoupe computer (British Z80 based #8bit micro released in December 1989). 32+ years developing hardware, software and magazines.

There. Now you have something to connect the serial port on your #RC2014 type thing, so it can talk to the terminal baked into this board. VT-100 with colour, basically.

The point being, to get an #RC2014 type system, with floppy drives (thanks to the Flock floppy controller/clock card), in a single box that takes a USB keyboard and SVGA screen.

Knight's Space Invaders for the MZ-700 running on the development version of the Pico MZ.
The #MZ700 emulation for the #Pico MZ is nearly finished! Documentation to write and update, plus testing on #RC2014 cards and #Pico2 hardware left to do. Hoping to have version 3.0.0 released by the end of the month. #RetroComputing

RP2350 RomWBW Bus kit. 10 leds, 8 switches and an OLED display on two blue PCB's with a 40way connector.
RomWBW Bus kits now available.
All the features of the Pico2 RomWBW kit PLUS
an OLED display emulating a 2 line LCD and a full #RC2014 IO Bus, so you can run RC2014 peripherals. Not that you really need to as you have SD disks, Speech synth, 8 bit LEDs / switches on the front panel.
