- As promised, Minimig v1.98 ITX is now available with major improvements. Notably, the board exclusively incorporates tantalum capacitors. Additionally, the LED header bug has been corrected. Most importantly, Minimig now features a WIFI ESP32 header for the first time, allowing you to surf the web effortlessly! The serial switch has also been updated to include wifi as an option for obvious reasons. I am currently in the process of assembling the initial batch of ten purple boards. Soon, Minimig v1.98 will be made available on the official Minimig website.
Fantastic work on this latest iteration of the Minimig! What is that Amicube board I saw come into view on this video? Is that going to be the Minimig v2 that support AA and AAA chip sets?
Also question about the outputs on the back of the minimig v1.98itx. Does it have two different video outputs, one from vga and another from hdmi? How does that fit in with monitors with hdmi connections, it works out of box with minimig cores? Or do we have to push this video signal (hdmi and vga) through something like the OSSC for conditioning the signal for modern displays?
Actually when I look at the board itself, I see no hdmi. But when I look at the itx case it shows some board in it with an hdmi connection? Possibly the minimig v1.98itx with an accelerator card that pushes video out of an hdmi port?
Thank you! The Minimig uses strictly RGB output. The new AmiCube boards feature HDMI, but I'll retain RGB as an option for AmiCube since it is, after all, a retro-computer. With Minimig, you can use an OSSC (Open Source Scan Converter) to connect to HDMI displays. In fact, that's the setup I'm currently using.
I agree with the Purple board color!! I would have picked Purple too. Will probably pull the trigger soon on buying one with case.
Thank you!
Amazing progress, thank you very much for these frequent updates. Much appreciated!
Thank you for the kind words Christoffer!
It would be nice to set WiFi configuration from AmigaOs. Anyway its good to have a network connectivity available!
Yes! You are right. If someone has time, should be easy since it is only serial terminal. Same driver would be compatible with old Amiga as well. Unfortunately I just don't have time.
Thanks for the update video. I found the audio levels very low which is a but dangerous when jumping to another video or advert.
You are right. Thanks for the feedback. I will try to improve in the future. This TH-cam business is quite new thing for me.
woohoo wifi!
Finally! Right? :) Not super fast, but good enough for BBSing.
Is there a way to attach/hook up a floppy drive to this? Jim Drew and Rob Smith have been making great strides with floppy drive compatibility with winuae as well as making flux backups of old disks of a variety of old computer systems.
The way I did it is with a new module that creates floppy functionality directly on the fpga. So signals are going from Paula and CIA directly. I am still working on this module but as of now I have 95% compatibility achieved. For AmiCube I would like to have df0 and df1 on-board. Adding external floppy connector is also easy and possible at this time.
@@amicube Very cool!!!
appreciate your work - very well done! But we need more aluminum cases :)
Have some in stock at the moment.
@@amicube all fine. Got one from the latest batch 👍
I love the white pcb color. I hope it will come back too.
Sure thing!
Have some spare LilyGO T01 C3 ESP32-C3 WiFi Modules, they have WiFi Connector for external Antenna too..can you shed some light in how to configure them for the Minimig?
Here is a good website, this example is for MIST mut same is applicable for Minimig. hackaday.com/2019/07/03/amiga-in-the-mist-gets-online-with-an-esp8266/
@@amicube got a bit confused because I read esp8266 a couple of times instead of esp32...but now I am sure esp32 is the right one
Got it!
Amazing work!
Thank you! Appreciated.
wish there was a way to connect a real floppy to it
Now it does ;) Kinda.
This is awesome for those who don’t have a 1.98 yet, and terrible for those who just bought the newest 1.97 😢.
I know. This is same old problem with new revs and additional features. I feel your frustration. :( It is possible to solder on wires to TX and RX but I usually don't recommend this since it is easy to damage the board.
