Fonted -Bitmap Font Editor
Abstract
Fonted is a simple bitmap font editor. I had the need to create my own bitmap fonts for my vintage computing projects (Serial Terminal).
Fonted should be portable as it is built with C++ on Dear ImGui and openGL. (However, I only tested on macOS and Linux.)
Replacement Cover for Atari 800 Power Indicator LED
Abstract
This is a 3D printable cover for the Atari 800 power indicator LED. I had the fully functional guts of an Atari 800 on the shelf for a very long time. It was a donation by a former collegue. The case was missing though.
One day I managed to purchase a case by auction. However, the cover for the power indicator LED was missing. Therefore, I created this project to print my own. Maybe you are missing a LED too.
Serial Terminal With Cathode Ray Tube
Abstract
Back in the day I disdained green (monochrome) CRTs, terminals and boring business computers. Didn’t my Commodore 64 have 16 colors and sprites and soft-scrolling and sound and everything?
But nowerdays I am fascinated by the idea of directly controlling the creation of an image on a phosphorus screen. I did not hesitate when I got the change to purchase two Brother WP-1 word processors for very little money at eBay.
This project is about building a serial terminal from new and vintage parts. It is still ongoing. I am working on the electronics right now. Visit my Git repository for more details.
