Full title: Connecting Old to New with CircuitPython: Retrocomputer input devices on modern PCs
Presented by:
Jeff Epler
The input devices of decades past hold nostalgic value for many folks. But they don't need to merely sit on a shelf as museum objects—they can be reverse engineered and then adapted to modern computers without modifying the original hardware.
CircuitPython, an implementation of the Python language for microcontrollers, is an excellent language for projects like these, thanks to native USB Human Interface Device (HID) support and the ability to ‘bitbang’ archaic interfaces combined with the fast development cycle of an interpreted language, as you'll learn in case studies adapting these keyboards & mice.
No previous experience with CircuitPython is necessary. Some knowledge of electronics will enhance your enjoyment of this talk, though there will be a quick summary of key electronics concepts as the talk proceeds.
