CLB Synthesizer Tool for editing logic for the CLB module in Microchip MCUs

Have you heard about the PIC16F131 series MCUs? They have a Configurable Logic Block and Logic Cells which allow real gates with MCU flexibility. Its a bit like a CPLD lite. Low quantities are available from around 0.6USD. I'm still waiting for a project where I can use those :)

Real-Time Fractional Scaling for Retro Game Graphics Real-time fractional upscaling of low-resolution game graphics for resource-limited embedded systems, using binary division to avoid floating-point arithmetic.

New post! My take on efficient fractional scaling of game graphics for real-time applications.

Exploring the Gameboy Memory Bank Controller Without a game cartridge, a Gameboy is just displays

There are different cartridges which implement an RTC. MBC3 cartridges e.g. are used for several PokΓ©mon games. Unfortunately this is a minority: b13rg.icecdn.tech/Gameboy-MBC-.... Adding an RTC to the #OpenDMGDisplay would function independently but is quite some work.

Maybe the #OpenDMGDisplay needs an RTC ;)

SMD component storage for manual assembly My take on storing project-dependent SMD components for small-batch (10-20 pcs) manual PCB assembly.

I tried to optimize my PCB assembly process using 3D-printed SMD storage solutions. Since this might be helpful to others, I wrote a blog post about it.

Maybe. I don't know the dimensions and the available space in the GBC case. The electronics should be pretty much the same. I would need a GBC to do some measurements and signal analysis ;)

Just released a preview video for my current project: a DIY open hardware TFT display mod for the classic Game Boy (DMG01). I built it using the new RP2350B, so the release will have to wait until Raspberry Pi officially launches the controller chip.
