Atari engineering notebook by Joe Decuir from 1978 #Atari #Amiga @textfiles @InternetArchive
Jason Scott highlights the availability of materials relating to Joe Decuir and early Atari design in the Internet Archive.
And then there’s all sorts of stuff I don’t even know how you’d stumble across unless you were specifically looking for them. (Guess that’s the job of researchers). Like Joe Decuir’s engineering notebook from 1978, filled with tons of designs like 400/800.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
