I think I need a 2600 Heavy Sixer keychain

[Vectrex repair/fix advice needed]

The first problem could be a bad AY-3-8912

[World's smallest Vectrex]

VERY nice !!

 

Needs a bigger screen though.

That's fantastic! 3D printed?

 

Thankyou, yes, 3D printed. I've been teaching myself CAD and the vectrex is pretty easy because it's just a big cube.

 

 

 

How'd you do the screen, decal?

 

Thermal label printer.

 

 

 

I think I need a 2600 Heavy Sixer keychain.

 

I think that would be hard to model (for my skills), but I'd definitely have a go.

 

AAMOI does a 2600 model exist ? (in .stl format)

Also the little speakjet inside the Vox is a nice powerful amp to it

 

Yes, there's a 1.25W amp in there and also a sound filtering circuit.

What does the + add?

 

Vectrex compatibility

I see you are still profiting from my stuff.

 

Do you only buy stuff to sell on then ?

This might be useful.

The only real point of concern is the soldering of the PIC chip

 

It might be worth getting a solder paste stencil made.

So, nobody even knows what type of micro is inside the Speakjet?

 

It's a Microchip PIC. One of the 18F series.

 

Obviously, the read protect fuse is activated (so the code cannot be read off the chip)

If someone else wanted to take a crack at this, I can save them the trouble of making PCBs and just send you a couple hundred gratis.

 

Glenn, I'm talking about the USB interface for the AVox. Did you have boards made for those too ?

[AtariVox rev2]

 

 

But what kind of help do you need? Maybe I can do something...

 

Taking on the project.

 

This will require -

 

1) Getting PCB's made

2) Soldering components

3) Configuring chips

4) Casing the boards

5) Making and applying labels

6) Selling / distributing finished units

Do you have a new site?

 

Not yet. Been having trouble with TalkTalk. They took over my last internet provider and it's been crap ever since.

Just seen the chip on EBay -

[AtariVox rev2]

Does anyone want to build the interfaces ?. I can send you the PCB file to get some boards made.

[AtariVox rev2]

Use it with the FT_Prog utility -

I also still have a small cache of USB-based AtariVox boards that Richard gave me but I don't know how to build those.

 

Extremely easy to build.

 

FT232RL

2 x 100nF capacitors

DB9 socket

USB-B socket

 

The FT232RL is configured through the USB once it's soldered in. I can post the config file here if anyone wants it.

[Vectrex Controller Question! HELP!]

You could try replacing the AY-3-8912. It's the sound chip, but also contains an 8-bit I/O port used to read the buttons on the controllers.

[Which Vectrex Multicart?]

 

 

Someone is listing one of you Vecmultis at 350 dollars

 

Happens all the time unfortunately

 

One of my VirtualBoy repro's recently sold for $250 (I got $20 for making it).

[Which Vectrex Multicart?]

I will be building some more, it's just finding the time. My Virtual Boy stuff (flash and repro carts) is taking a LOT of my time at the moment.

[Virtual Boy,Console or Handheld?]

 

 

I think you'd get some funny looks if you tried strapping a Virtual Boy to your face in public.
