Rob Cai has shared a fantastic tutorial on how to build an Arduino-based BASIC computer, and it will only cost you a few dollars. All you’ll need is a pair of Arduinos, a PS2 port for the keyboard, and a VGA port for video output to a monitor.

Arduino Basic PC With VGA Output: In my previous Instructable I have shown how to build a retro 8-bit computer running BASIC, by means of two Arduino, and with an output signal in B&W for a TV screen.

The computer here is an Arduino DUE based home computer with a 7 inch 800x480 graphics display, printer support, SD card disk, a PS2 keyboard (with keymap support) or a USB keyboard (only English) and a real time clock.

In this Instructables I will show how to build a retro 8-bit computer running BASIC, by means of two Arduino and few other components.

Now you can turn your Arduino into an 80's home computer! A complete BASIC interpreter for the Arduino, using a PS/2 keyboard, and SPI OLED screen.

May 1, 2022 · This Arduino-MEGA based microcomputer has a DIY hardware terminal and runs Terminal-BASIC! Remember those 70’s and 80's professional computers? Yes, those with the green screen and a keyboard, no mouse.

Jul 19, 2023 · By utilizing all available pins and space on the chip, Clem successfully transforms the Arduino Uno into a handheld computer with capabilities like the ZX-81. The project serves as a fitting tribute to the beloved Arduino Uno R3 and showcases the potential for DIY electronics with microcontrollers.

Nov 13, 2014 · While most of us think of Arduino boards as something to be programmed by a computer, there’s really nothing that says you can’t use an Arduino-style microcontroller as one. It could be argued that the Arduino is already a computer, but in the case of the DemUino, a small display is embedded into an old PS/2 keyboard. It might not be what a ...

Apr 10, 2014 · Once he caught wind of TinyBASIC, he decided he would have a go at creating a simple, tiny computer that’s very simple to the old, tiny, 8-bit computers of yore. The computer is built on an...
