It took me far too long today to get my Arduino LCD display to show what I wanted. The link in the LcdBarGraph repository no longer works, the reference page is empty, and there is no actual explanation of the function in the repo, so I just ended up reading the sourcecode to see how to use it.

The one thing I think the BBC Micro should have had was 16 colours instead of 8 colours and 8 flashing colours. Whilst the machine was more expensive, I think having a better palette would have made a big difference. You can solve this by replacing the video ULA now: beebwiki.mdfs.net/Video_ULA

May enjoys being on top of the cupboard. She's the cat, in case it's not obvious.

Using a preconfigured collection of settings for the CMOS and a specially tailored module, I now have BASIC readable and can run programs off virtual floppy, which is neat!

I made a clock out of a character terminal and a Raspberry Pi (it does other stuff as well)

Hello folks, and welcome to Bluesky if you're new around here. Here's an image I created on a virtual BBC Micro from a game I like, which I'm planning on asking a friend to put onto a t-shirt for me...
