I did that project quite a while ago and my files are on a computer that is currently offline. I had reused that diode from the original very old circuit, so I may or may not have had a part number for it. I would guess that the power rating was in the 400-500mW range and the tolerance was 2-5%. It was not a standalone implementation (no speaker, audio amplifier, or rf modulator) - I just generated a line level audio output and a composite video output to a compatible monitor/TV, so my total power was under 300mW (less than 50mA). It seems odd that you would have 6 zener diodes, but you certainly have more circuitry and a larger power requirement. Unless you are trying to stay with the original circuit - maybe you should just use some voltage regulators or a wall wart (not sure how many different voltages you need). If you need to stay with zeners, a 5% tolerance on the should be okay. Choose the power rating based on the required load current and set the series resistor so that you have enough zener current to maintain regulation at maximum load current.</description></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/project14/hardwarehacking/b/blog/posts/pong-is-alive?CommentId=3d07074b-8479-4231-a2c9-81cfb128f581</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Feb 2024 13:12:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:3d07074b-8479-4231-a2c9-81cfb128f581</guid><dc:creator>HDCase</dc:creator><description>Hi Ralphjy, I&#39;m trying to revive a commercial implementation of the same pong chip. I&#39;ve never worked with Zener diodes before and this console has 6! Aside from the voltage, can you tell me the specs of your diodes.

If there isn&#39;t already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline&#39;s team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. &quot;Featured Video Setup Doc&quot; lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.
