- The Core64 Interactive Core Memory kit now has a menu system and improved user interface! I've also added the game of snake which was present in the earliest proof-of-concept that I built.
The dGAUSS menu was a convenient result of trying to figure out how to cram a complete menu of options into an 8x8 pixel array. I wanted to encompass all of the functionality that is coming alive in the firmware in a single static menu. The menu was initially composed of Games & Apps & Utilities & Settings. It then became apparent that I was on the right path with GAUS and adding a Special sub-menu made sense to get to GAUSS. The final trick was to cram in a reference to a Demo sub-menu. That all adds up to dGAUSS which is a term used to describe the process of removing residual magnetic flux from a TV picture tube (correctly spelled as "degauss"). How convenient!

Awesome! Subscribed,looking forward to more of your works.😊
Hi, we met at VCFMW where I punched you 1k of paper tape :). I love the user interface and acronym! I am debating attempting to enlist my wife to help with weaving the core memory I have to admit. Does the LED on/off state and the core memory bit always align, or are they driven seperately?
Thanks for that fun 1K run! Appreciate the feedback on menu. The only mode where state/LED always align is “scrolling text.” I need to revise the drawing mode [firmware] to always reflect it too, as it is constantly scanning the cores looking for a change. The other modes work the same way: write followed by read, expecting to find the opposite state, but if a magnet is present, it blocks the read back as “same state” instead of opposite. It’s subtle, but stems from the fact core reads are destructive. Does that make sense? This is word salad…
Very cool. Can this unit be used as a low res scope?
Certainly. Maybe even a spectrum analyzer too!
