Forgot to add the finished assembled shot...
PCB rebuild project successful.
Unregulated so actually showing 12v with no load. 🤣
I'll actually use a modern switched 9v for my ZX, but I wanted to get the original supply back working again.

What would a good exhibition be without explanatory displays for visitors? Just a brief history of the very big and the very small. Sorry, it's German ;)

Compared to the #IMSAI8080, this surprising exhibit clearly demonstrates the miniaturization. The two will be standing side by side on Saturday—after all, they share the same CPU core :) And I always get a fright when the dinosaur comes stomping by.

Finally got this Timex Sinclair 1000 project far enough along that I have something to show.

It's a PCB/rework of the ZX-Wespi-mi (the non-vga version). The ZX-Wespi is an ESP32 mod that you connect to your TS-1000/ZX-81.

You can send programs to it over WiFi using your browser.

My project combines the components and wiring into a single PCB - it's the Wespi Hat 🙂

Since it's going to be on a TS-1000, I decided that I'd mount it externally. The TS-1000 has RF shielding spray coating the interior and I'm not sure how that would effect the signal.

This first version works but has some problems that I noticed once I was assembling, so I've already redesigned the PCB to address those.

I also want to rework the wiring, and the case design needs a bit of a tweak too. This will be an evolving project 😃 #RetroComputing #Electronics #ZX81 #TimexSinclair #Sinclair #TS1000 #WespiHat #VintageComputing
