Here are some things I want to add to the system. When I think of something else I will add it here. Things on top of the list will probably be added first or are the most realistic.
Things that may be added | Why they aren't there already |
---|---|
Connection to PC | This is the first thing I'm going to work on, when I have some more time (f**cking school(well actually it's pretty cool)). I want to connect address and dataports to the PC-parallel port so I can test programs quickly. As a matter of fact I have to use this approach because I don't have access to an EPROM programmer anymore. |
LCD Display | The processing part first has to work OK. I already have enough information on the LCD screen. I connected it to my parallel port which worked just fine so i can use one of the ports from the 8255. (But as you must have seen on the mainpage I just blew it up...) |
Serial port (9600bps or higher) | Don't know enough about it yet (but I can probably look it up when I have some time) |
Battery powered | Now (very early design) it already uses 200 mA |
7key keyboard | The key combinations are copyrighted |
Feet (so it can bring me my newspaper) | I really don't know |
