After a long period of inactivity I'm back working on the Video Writer! More will come soon, but here is a very short progress update:
- I understand how the video chip works and mostly documented
- The keyboard has finally been demystified and fully documented
- I have actual serial communication working (No more faking it with an Arduino )
- I made a custom ROM that allows me to upload and run my own code!
The holiday card below is a screenshot of a little program I wrote and uploaded to the VW

Thanks for the holiday greetings, you too.
Well done. I like it when people take apart gadgets, no matter how mundane, to understand them better.
Are you sure? yes | no
