When Soviets tried to build an Arduino...
Today, we will take a look at this legendary device: an educational microprocessor lab created at the VEF factory in Latvia in 1988. It served as a tool for studying the architecture and operations of the Soviet clone of the Intel 8080 processor, the KR580VM80A. In a certain sense, it shared similarities with the famous MITS Altair computer. When equipped with expansion cards, it has extensive capabilities for building microprocessor-driven devices — somewhat like the modern Arduino.
