The first two posts are here and here.
Part V: the modules
At last, I had the time to build some modules. An example is depicted below.
The modules were a pain to build because the ambient temperature is so hot these days that the soldering paste is too fluid to be applied through the stencil. I had to work early in the morning. Moreover, I had to wait a bit, after having used the reflow plate and the soldering iron, to give the air some time to cool down. Anyway, some boards must be reworked, perhaps when the weather will be better.
Luckily, 8 modules out of 12 were working well so I had the time to make a short video, as promised.
Part VI: the game emulation (for the web)
Meanwhile, I had some time to do an experiment: I transpiled by hand the C++ code of the racing game to TypeScript and I made an emulation of the game which may be played in a web browser.
As usual, you may find the source of the game emulation in the project repository, here.
And here is the game emulation.
That's all, folks! :-)
