    I've looked high and low for the code for the chatpad, but cannot seem to find it anywhere.  It seems the only links I can find have long since expired.  Does anyone have any links to the PIC code to modify the chatpad for standard serial output any more?

     

    Thanks in advance

    Ben,

    I'm a HUGE fan of yours through YouTube, ad I'm trying to build this computer. Please please tell me how you managed to get the LCD to work? And any better alternatives to an XBox Chatpad?? "cause i wanna build mine like that Raspberry Pi Retro BBC Micro(like, fits in a full sized keyboard). On the internet i saw that PS/2 keyboard can interface with the arduino, can this be used?? Any replies would be of great help. I'd LOVE a schematic

    You can always e-mail me at mohitnbagur@gmail.com .

    Cheers!

    Mohit

    Well, I couldn't find it, so I made it myself, and I've been working on adding more functionality to TinyBasic, https://github.com/BleuLlama/TinyBasicPlus including load/save to SD card.
