Purchased a Gameboy DMG-01 off eBay for $20. I am using a SN74LVC8T245PWR 8-bit directional level shifter to do the translation on the IO wing board. The Gameboy is a 5V device and the DE0 does not have 5V tolerant IO. I will use the IO wing to level shift the signals from the Gameboy’s LCD screen so my DE0 can capture the data. This is the project that the DE0 Digital IO Wing is for. I would like to move it to a newer platform like a 10M08SCU169C8G. The FPGA is an older Cyclone 4 module (EP4CE6E22C8N) but it should do the trick and is still fairly affordable. To quicken the development process I am going to lift the FPGA design block from the ChromaColor project. First order of business is to start making some dedicated hardware for the Gameboy. With that out of the way… Current plan is to just look at my past incomplete projects and either finish them or kill them off. I will be putting more effort into posting here. Typically they just go to my twitter account and I talk about them on the podcast. I have been doing side projects for fun but I have just been very bad about posting them here. It is a weekly electronics podcast and we are currently on episode 119…and we have not missed a single week! I also am the co-host of the MEP or MacroFab Engineering Podcast. It is the company I co-founded a bit over 4 years ago now. Instead of trying to have an excuse of why I have not been posting here.
