The Z80 Membership Card http://www.sunrise-ev.com/z80.htm
Sun 08 May 2022 09:06:26 PM PDT archive.org

The Membership Card is a complete computer that fits in an Altoids tin. Inspired by classic 8-bit computers like the Altair 8800 and Heathkit H8, it is thoroughly documented and easy to build, with big parts, big pads, and big traces and spaces. It uses only generic parts common in the 1980s (and still available today) -- no custom parts, and no surface mount. It's fully self-contained: You don't need PCs, Windows, megabyte compilers, or secret software to use it. Now you can learn about computers right from the ground up, and really understand how they work!

It comes as a two-board set. The Z80 Membership Card itself is a stand-alone single-board computer that can "power up" your projects, like the Parallax BASIC Stamps or Arduino microcomputers. But you need a way to program it, and of course some kind of input and output "shield" to put it to work.

Links to buy the kits are near the end of the page.

The Altaid 8800 http://sunrise-ev.com/8080.htm
Sun 08 May 2022 09:04:12 PM PDT archive.org

I got to wondering... Could we have built an 8080 microcomputer, like the famous Altair 8800, but in a pocket-sized package? No "wizard behind the curtain" modern chips to make it work. It had to be built with vintage parts and through-hole techniques; just as it would have been back then. It must be user programmable; not simply running a fixed program like the HP-35. And, it's got to have a real front panel, like the Altair with its classic switches and blinkie-lights!

Explicitly compatible with multiple OSes for the RasPi, so funky additional packages may not be needed for driving the rest of the setup.

The Altair 8800 Clone is a full size, fully functional replica of the computer that started a revolution – the Altair 8800. Whether used for personal or educational purposes, the Altair Clone is a great way to relive this important period in computing history and learn core computer science principles at the same time!

The Altair Clone provides an accurate, hands-on experience without having to worry about damaging a vintage computer. Built with modern hardware on the inside, the Clone is also less expensive and much easier to keep running than a vintage computer.

TERES-I Do-It-Yourself Free Open Source Hardware and Software laptop with ARM64 and x86 processors. Comes as a kit or a bunch of spare parts. FOSH/FOSS. ARM64, x86, MIPS variants. Can be upgraded piecemeal. Definitely runs Ubuntu and Android, can probably run other ported distros with a bit of work. Has all of the features and components that you'd expect, from wireless to a built-in webcam. Of course, you can probably leave out the stuff you don't want.

The BASIC Engine is a very low-cost single-board home computer with advanced 2D color graphics and sound capabilities, roughly comparable to late-1980s or early-1990s computers and video game consoles. It can be built at home without special skills or tools and using readily available components for under 10 Euros in parts, or mass-produced for even less.

OpenPCR is a fully functional yet affordable ($599us) PCR (polymerase chain reaction) device, used for replicating DNA for the purposes of sequencing or barcoding (species determination). The whole kit - from the software to the hardware itself - is open source, so you can download the code, CAD, and Eagle files and build your own if you don't want to buy a kit.

An open source DIY robotics/rapid prototyping kit much like an Erector set. Lots of standardized pre-milled bars, rods, connectors, and components. Build your own plotter, CNC machine, RepRap, scanner table, or what have you. Capable of three axes of linear motion. Comes with all the electronics you need, including an Arduino, stepper motors, and a motor driver board.

Mon 19 Mar 2018 05:45:48 PM PDT archive.org

The Shapeoko is an open source CNC that you can either buy as a kit or build yourself for about $300us. Work up your design on a laptop using open source CAD software, clamp feedstock on the bed, and it'll produce what you designed. Because it's open source it's not limited to wood - it could be adapted to just about any material that you can cut or grind could be. Chances are, someone's already done it and posted the docs.

Everything is also kept in a respository on Github: https://github.com/shapeoko/shapeoko
