Had an enjoyable morning building another fantastic kit from #ExtremeKits
This time it was a lightning detector kit. It wasn't a hard build following the instructions on weblink included. Very clear step by step instructions with pictures.
And it seems to work! Of-course I could not summon a storm to really test it, but a Cricket gas hob lighter did the trick ⚡
Now I am looking forward to the next storm ⛈️
I recommend this kit - top quality and fun too!

One of my Xmas box projects this year was a Pico RomWBW Computer Kit from Extreme Kits.
Just doing the inventory check tonight... I will be busy this weekend!

And that is my Christmas box sorted... My better half has got me an Extreme Kits Pico RomWBW Z80 CPM Computer.
Of course, it is going to arrive in the next week or so and I am not going to be allowed to open it, or touch it, or build it, or anything 😭

Had a blast tonight 🚀
Wrote my first ever CPM 2.2 Z80 assembly program on my RC2040!
It was only the obligatory "Hello World!", but it took me while as I had to sort out the tool chain too. I needed an good assembler and a decent text editor, and I needed them on the microSD card, in the RC2040 disk image file.

@Slartybartfast Yes, I did clean it up with IPA afterwards. This is my first go at doing anything surface mount, so I got some flux specially. However, it was amazing and used it a lot - The little bottle had a small brush in the lid, so I got a little slap happy with the stuff!
I am impressed with the kit. The board silkscreen and a picture from the website was all I needed for component placement. All things considered, it was not too difficult and was a lot of fun.

Hurrah, my #RC2040 kit arrived from #ExtremeKits over the weekend.
The surface mount microSD card slot is going to be a challenge for me 🤔

It’s my birthday so I’m going to build a #retrocomputing electronics kit! Specifically a #rc2040 from #extremekits. This is a #RaspberryPiPico based #z80 emulator.
