Maybe I have an idea you could use. In this design there are LEDs under the keycaps, but the LEDs are not individual addressable, since there are only 64 keys with only eight bytes IO or memory addresses it could be done to enlighten some of the keycaps and make them shine, flash or twinkle. If the computer could address all LEDs then signals could be given to the user, like which buttons can be pushed or hints.
We actually did consider this idea (James here) but it had a few drawbacks. The small RGB LEDs are SMD-only which means SMD assembly by the PCB manufacturer is mandatory. That and the limited usefulness of software-controlled RGB doesn't really justify the development time, additional routines taking up ROM space, etc. So we instead went with through-hole LEDs which still provides some customisation options. (Nothing is ruled out for future versions though!)
@@ReadyZ80 first thanks so mutch for making those videos , can you plz make some assembly code on how to lead from cassette interface and how to store in cassette interface ,sorry for my bad english
@@warismwarism2480 There is cassette loading and saving code in the TEC monitor called JMON. Do a google search "tec1group software" and go to the github link. Then directory monitor/jmon There is a pdf file with the annotated code. You will need to understand assembly. Good luck
15:28 that's not how tabs work at all. the screen is vertically divided into "tab stops", which are typically 8 or 4 characters wide. the tab character advances the cursor to the nearest tab stop, making it possible to align data on the screen.

Great new video ReadyZ80!

Thats Awesome, Hell I thought the 1st Version was Great.
Well Done Sir!

That's a really nice build! So much better than that micro keyboard. Next step: can you run emacs on the board?
I much prefer vim...

also mac computers do not use CR/LF they are unix systems and as such use LF by itself for new lines
neat video tho
Good point. I should fix this.

Do you have the exact name of that book you reference? I cannot seem to find it.
Write your own fantasy games for your microcomputer
Interesting keyboard, pity you could not use the metal plate,
Now I just have to find out what a 'Tec 1' is...
What model LCD is it? I'd quite like to try one of those 👍
