How to produce a middle C on intel 8080?
This is a example problem in my book. Assuming pin 5 of port 4 is connected to an amplifier that drives a loudspeaker, the solution is given as,
The frequency of middle C is $$f=261.63\ \text{Hz}$$
So, the time period is,
$$T=\frac1{f}=3822\ \mu…

Fastest LCD data throughput 8080 or SPI
I recently ordered a 128x128 graphic black/white display with a ST7541 chip-on-glass. It took me 2,5 days debugging and frustration to discover that they didn't wire SPI through the flatcable.
A big trap for beginners, when you use the datasheet of…

Simplest display for homemade 8080 based computer-what to use?
I'm designing a 8080 processor based computer and I want it to be able to at least output something visually.
I have thought about using SMD LED matrix made by myself, but even with the 160 x 120 px it would cost about $65 for the LEDs themselves,…
