I love the smooth scrolling on the serial terminal display. That feature needs to make a comeback!

I like this terminal, it looks so retro especially with the amber - yellow EL panel. Imagine the ENTIRE terminal motherboard on one single chip. Technology is both interesting and WILD.

I could not focus on a single word of this video and what Wenting was talking about -- I was much too enamored by the glorious stacks of Thinkpads on the rack🙂 Kudos to you for your phenomenal work, especially the X61 mods!

Love the amber glow. Too bad those screens are so expensive (at least on eBay). Good job explaining your implementation.

Great work. Most LCD panels without controllers work the same way. That is any LCD from a laptop.

The look of that terminal reminds me so much of Astra Protocol 2's default UI/Terminal color All it needs is a speech synthesizer and a Tektronix 4014 mode and it would be a perfect dedicated system for that.

That is really professional! 0.02% CPU load at 120 Hz refresh. Have you thought more about the greyscale? I presume that will have to be by PWM, i.e. flashing pixels individually to reduce their brightness. I am going to try to implement smething similar with a VGA display.

Smooth scrolling the new lines are a nice touch, or am I imagining that happening?

this is incredible of all the "virtual" terminal emulator i used on Linux, none had that feature they all "jump" between text lines, even Kitty that has GPU renderer

@@jeanr2808 A lot of the old terminals including the VT100 had smooth scrolling because it was trivial to do in hardware.

Impressive! RP2040 is QFN-56, a lot of the soldering is done under the chip? it looks--difficult. I've hand soldered LQFPs but they have more to work to work with in terms of pins etc. Did you solder the RP2040 to your custom board by hand?

QFNs have pads around the edge and probably one at the bottom. I’ve not soldered one (but have done 240 pin QFPs) and I’m confident I could solder QFNs. Loads of flux. :)

Drag solder the outer 56 pins, and if there is a ground or thermal pad under the chip, place a large via under the chip so you can solder that from the underside of the board.

I tend to use either hot air soldering gun or Infrared toaster oven to solder the whole assembly together. Kinda easier that way compared to hand-soldering.

thanks for a great video. i assume the image on the screen visible at 14:24 is burn in from the previous use of this screen? cheers 🙂
