First prototype

A project log for nTerm-S

A terminal emulator of my own liking. Using an ESP32, connecting to a VGA screen, and having sound. Based on the uTerm2-S and FabGL.

Everything began with the first prototype I made. In the previous post I mentioned that many of my projects stranded in the phase where everything was held together with strings. Well, this prototype is one of those. As far as 'being held together with strings', while still doing its work, is something to be proud of, I am extremely proud of this one! Let me show you. ;)

The parts.

The result. Working!

That it was actually speaking with my SYM-1 was motivating enough to dive headlong into the project.

I also want to note that I had started out writing a few blog posts about the process, and hope they will be somewhat entertaining for you. :)

To be honest, in the - On Terminals - blog post I mention 13 requirements and 3 stretch goals. ;)
