Unijoysticle

Yeaaaaaaaaaah! UniJoystiCle v0.3 was released! It includes: A beautifully designed PCB A realistic Unicycle game for the Commodore 64 A the iPhone application which can be downloaded from the App Store The new PCB Either you can: Build one yourself (the instructions are here: https://github.com/ricardoquesada/unijoysticle) or order one from OSHPark: But if are really interested in getting one, contact me and I’ll send you a fully assembled one for free. Just convince why you deserve it. ...

[caption id="" align=“alignnone” width=“480”] v0.2.1 powered from a battery. Can be powered from USB as well[/caption] Changes in v0.2.1: Commodore 64 works Ok when the UniJoystiCle board is unpowered. The issue was that the 4066 chips were in an unknown state when they were unpowered. In v0.2.1 the 4066 ICs get power from the C64 Joy #2 port Smaller holes for the DC Jack making it compatible with “common” DC Jacks. Unfortunately, v0.2.1 has a bug, and the way to fix it is to cut the 3v3 trace that comes from the NodeMCU. ...

I like Fritzing. I think it is great for small projects and it is very easy to use. But it has its limitations when creating the PCB, mostly because its component library is not very complete. Eagle, on the other hand, is more difficult to use. But its component library is very polished. Also, companies like Adafruit and SparkFun create components for Eagle, so that is a big plus if you purchase components from them. ...
