Follow-up on the console project from my previous post : Mock Design of the UI File Explorer

(More technical info in the Article)


It's been some time, but i actually managed to get quite a bit of the CPU to work! (Well...Guess i can't really call it a CPU, it's more of an interpreter, really) So today i've mostly decided to think about how the menu is going to look like and i came up with this!

So far, it looks a tiny bit bland, one huge issue is that i don't have a MicroSD Card reader for the chip, meaning i'm gonna have to make this work via a local server for the purpose of streaming files directly into it (At least until i actually do get a MicroSD Card Reader...)

In the meantime, i managed to get a pretty nice opcode list going, some of which draws to the screen, other being some general Assembly instructions (E.g. INC, DEC, JMP, etc)

While i'm working on this thing, i've had some thoughts about how i would realistically be able to distribute this thing, and i've gotten the idea to publish it on Github at some point!

For anyone eventually looking to play around with this thing (Once it comes out), just know that the current setup i'm making this in requires an ESP-WROOM-32 with a few buttons, a joystick, and an ST7789 Screen (240x240)

I've recently started to make my own music in beepbox as a little practice, i felt like it would be better to compose my own OSTs instead of just finding stuff from Bytebeat and stuff

Am i cooking here?

Thinking of making an entire console with this thing somehow :P

Don't count on it tho, i'll probs fail miserably

wish i had shorter cables and better cable management too, the thing looks like a mess from a top-down perspective

Thank you everyone for getting me to 100 Followers!
