Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Just happened to bump into this video today... Interesting...
And, yes, controlling the matrix is an R pie Pico MPU...

That's very clever indeed. I suspect you can buy a lot of breadboards and jumpers for the price of one though.

(And you can have a 100V supply for the ECC83 with wires off its base.  :) )

Not available yet AFAIK.

You could probably have a lot of custom made PCBs for that price, Stan. Think - the PCBs are about £3.90 for 5 100x100mm, delivered to your door. That isn't all that much more than a breadboard and some jumpers.

Mick please see my vero post and the hidden frustration..means a pcb is nice compared to "vero"... and cheap vero is a waste of time.. tracks lift and they're hard to solder. Wire wool helps but buy vero from RS...er, it's fresher.
The ili9341 is a standard display so there must be a pcb for it but at what cost.. postage?

Depends on what you want, Stan. I did several PCBs. My PicoMite Backpack design might be of interest to you - I can send you one if you like, as you're in the UK. The info about it is in the link in my sig.

Mick has several designs, as do I.

JLCPCB costs me $3.87 to have 5 boards shipped to Canada or to the U.S.

This PCB can have a 20x2 header, or an ILI9341 with some of the other pins available on the header: PicoMite with ILI9341

Tom's GameMite has an ILI9341.
