SSR1/A-B00 - Dual AC Solid State Relay Arduino Shield

Submitted by GG on Sun, 09/22/2019 - 13:58

SSR1A Many MCU applications use electro-mechanical relays to control AC loads. While this is an excellent solution for occasionally turning on/off a load, it is not suited for frequent switching or PWM applications. SSR1/A is an opto-coupled solid state relay that can control two AC loads in a arduino shield form factor.

NANOBUG - Buttons and USB UART for NVIDIA Jetson Nano

Submitted by GG on Mon, 07/22/2019 - 09:53

NanobugThe NVIDIA Jetson Nano is a great device and its choice of I/O is ideal for user space development. If you are a kernel hacker, however, you will soon feel the need for serial console and a reset button. If you want to hack the bootloader you will also need a recovery button. The Nanobug integrates a UART to USB and buttons into a little board that plugs directly into the nano developer kit.

GZ/80-A02 - Zilog Z80 turbo card for Apple II computers

Submitted by GG on Sun, 06/16/2019 - 22:47

A new version of this project is available here

gz80The Microsoft Softcard was the first card to allow CP/M software to run on the Apple II. It was originally developed to simplify the porting of Microsoft Basic to the Apple II. It turned out to be a great success and at some point in time it was the most popular CP/M platform in use.

UNICART - Universal Commodore 64/128 Cartridge

Submitted by GG on Tue, 06/04/2019 - 20:01

ramgsAfter we developed the UNICART/D many customers asked for a more compact version of the cartridge without the pass-through connector. The board uses one standard PLCC32 flash ROM up to 4Mbit. In C64 mode 8K, 16K and 16K Ultimax cartridge modes are supported. In C128 mode both 16K and 32K cartridges are supported.

A2SCSI-A00 - Apple II SCSI card clone

Submitted by GG on Wed, 05/22/2019 - 22:12

A new version of this project is available here

A2SCSI FrontThe Apple II SCSI card from 1986 was one of the first interface cards to attach a Hard Disk Drive to the Apple II line of computers. A2SCSI is a clone of the last revision (rev.C) of the card with a few enhancements to improve compatibility with modern SCSI drives.

F2R16 - Flash based ROM Replacement for Amiga Computers

Submitted by GG on Thu, 04/25/2019 - 22:02

F2R16The Amiga, like many other computers of the late 80s, uses 16-bit wide mask ROMs to store the machine firmware. Unfortunately, the pinout of these ROMs is incompatible with the JEDEC defined EPROM pinout. Memory manufacturers produced "ROM compatible" EPROMS like the 27C400 to allow development and quick turn manufacturing. These EPROMS are however becoming quite hard to find and still require a UV lamp to erase the chips. F2R16 brings all the benefits of modern flash memory technology to any platform designed to use these obsolete devices.

T232 - Simple DB9 RS232 monitor and breakout board

Submitted by GG on Fri, 03/15/2019 - 10:31

T232RS232 monitors are quite common but most of them use the standard good old DB25 connectors. The majority of the RS232 ports in use today however use the smaller DB9 connector. This forces the use chains of adapters to get the commercial monitor/breakout boards working. The GGLABS T232 solves the problem by providing native DB9 connections.

UNICART/D - Universal Commodore 64/128 Cartridge with Passthrough

Submitted by GG on Sat, 02/02/2019 - 14:58

ramgsThis cartridge was originally developed to speed up the manufacturing diagnostic of our GRAM and GLINK232 products. Having to load the diagnostic for every board is pretty tedious and time consuming. The UNICART/D allows to have a custom ROM for both C64 and C128 while allowing to still plug in an additional cartridge.
