Shrink an apple 20 times

1) easy.

2) simple.

3) homemade.

4) portable.

5) pocket size PC.

Old PCs. i am wondering about that how to run the shirink one
from Old PC and run it out.

But how ?

Old Things

The monitor in 1970 mostly like 50 x 50 x 70 cm,

and the Apple ][ is mostly like 10 x 50 x 85 cm.

so, i gotta shrink it into 0.5 x 2.5 x 4.2 cm.

ie, i could use that arduino which just is "nano" then !

Materils

1) arduino nano x 1

2) USB cable x 1

3) mini monitor x 1

4) AAA batt. x 2

Prototype With UNO

1) first i install arduino into my RPi3.

2) and i install Tiny BASIC into the UNO with cable.

3) operating BASIC via COM with USB cable.

Install BASIC Form Arduino IDE

1) boot from RPi3.

2) connect arduino with usb cable.

3) install TinyBasic v0.14 .

4) operate BASIC from arduino from IDE COM remotely.

5)write a program like Apple ][ .

CODE:

10 for i = 1 to 6

20 print "HELLO WORLD"

30 next i

40 end

CODE:

Test Run

0) take RPi3 apart.

1) RUN putty form a distance notebook.

2) open the nano(TinyBASIC) with serial COM3 (in my case).

3) it will responses HELLO and TinyBasic Plus v0.14 and free memory on chip.

4) write a BASIC read from my solar panel !!

DONE !

i write a BASIC program to read my solar panel !!

you can write yours.(sorry for the solar voltage photo which was shot indoor)

ps : you can use the "ESAVE" command to save your program into the

EEPROM on your chip, and no mouse keyboard needed that boot and run !

( it will boot and read voltage automatically without keyboard in my case)

HAVE FUN !!
