PCB-mail! The best kind.
v1.1 ZX-Wespi Hat - a thing to keep all the wires and loose components together and near the #ZX-Wespi #ESP32. I made minor improvements over my previous iteration.
Yes I had fun playing with the solder mask. It's there, so why not?

Chores 're done. Time for a little R&R.

Finally got this Timex Sinclair 1000 project far enough along that I have something to show.
It's a PCB/rework of the ZX-Wespi-mi (the non-vga version). The ZX-Wespi is an ESP32 mod that you connect to your TS-1000/ZX-81.
You can send programs to it over WiFi using your browser.
My project combines the components and wiring into a single PCB - it's the Wespi Hat 🙂
Since it's going to be on a TS-1000, I decided that I'd mount it externally. The TS-1000 has RF shielding spray coating the interior and I'm not sure how that would effect the signal.
This first version works but has some problems that I noticed once I was assembling, so I've already redesigned the PCB to address those.
I also want to rework the wiring, and the case design needs a bit of a tweak too. This will be an evolving project 😃 #RetroComputing #Electronics #ZX81 #TimexSinclair #Sinclair #TS1000 #WespiHat #VintageComputing

Tonight's #3dprinting about to go on the #prusa -- a cute little power switch box.
It'll sit between the power brick and the input jack for my #ts1000
There's room in there for a status led, the slider switch, a resistor, and the wires.

I love work with #Inkscape and drawing old stuff is somewhat therapeutic. It's a Timex-Sinclair 2068 drawing that I made few years ago based on a photo of one of my own.
