256 colors could have worked nice aswell but would take up more than 30%of ram I am thinking however about adding a 160x120 color mode with all the 32768 colors which would also take up only 15% of ram
Im thinking about doing a similar kind of thing. My planned tactic for screen buffer is just to rely on the relatively fast processor and generate everything a scan line at a time. For text you essentially wouldnt need a frame buffer and for general graphics modes you could just swa out palattes on the fly. Unfortunately the combination of features of the dma and pio make it difficult to do much more than run length encoding without involving the processor. Ps is your analog output just from a resistor ladder?
I2S is a great idea, go with it. The sound will be superior to PWM implementations. And you can get cheap i2s audio amplifier ICs on a tiny PCB for peanuts.
parts for the prototype board have costed me around 16 euro max the most expensive parts are the pico and usb hub which is not that needed but still nice to have

AYO this speaks to my heart. I’ve wanted to make this exact idea for so long and someone finally did it :) great work!
Also: the new RP chip you’re using should have native floating point support, which would help a lot!
your voice sounds like voice before random typing in a mechanical keyboard starts. anyways keep posting staff :
i use a mechanical keyboard inbetween sentences while recording which sometimes prevail in the audio
you are SO RIGHT
Fantastic! 4x4 font reminded me old 8-bit ZX Spectrum clone from my country called Elwro Junior 800 - it has such mode too ;)
Broer kwist dat dit een banger video ging zijn wnr k die zag in mn feed
Too bad you don't have 256 colors, just need some more memory for it, I see your point; but who knows for the future.

Like this comment if you have found the hamster
Hamster is at 12:19 or is that a glitch?
@@EdwinvandenOetelaar thats a frog
i didnt find the hampster but theyre cool so i liked the comment anyways i hope thats okay
Спасибо, отличный контент.

my annalog outputis nothning more than a resistor ladder haha
@@Jalecko sorry I was confused, I was working out pins for much the same stuff, except PS2 keyboard and mouse and I was running out of space.
@@benholroyd5221 i dont understand why one would even use PS2 devices since they are rather old and the pi pico has perfect USB host capabilities

im sure i2s will sound lovely but im still not so sure about the amount of pins it takes from the MCU since I also want an SD card to work on there
:-) FIRST HAHAH (yes) Very nice video, I am going to share this with some hacker friends. Good Work!!
Lekker bezig
My man is een genie
btw you should make a tutorial on how to compile the cluatron software and i am having trouble
Good point😊
Tip : use linux
Nice
How much money did this cost
parts for the prototype board have costed me around 16 euro max the most expensive parts are the pico and usb hub which is not that needed but still nice to have
you should use the rpi pico 2 it is faster
Why would i if the pi foundation made a version of the pi pico 2 chip with more pins than the original thats what im waiting for
@@Jalecko ok
i think this is 10 people lol
good point, gonna work on a discord now and put an invite to it here and on the community tab
discord.gg/K9wbVfXu4f here is a link
Why is everybody always stealing my ideas 😢
