Automatic morse key for CW practice

Sat, 26 May 2012 19:10:07 GMT

A single-paddle automatic and manual key for morse code (CW) sending practice. It is built from HDD parts and uses a TI Launchpad MSP430 microcontroller for keying and making sounds.

USB video grabber for BK-0010

Wed, 22 Feb 2012 16:10:27 GMT

A simple project based on ChipKIT MAX32 board. It captures video frames from BK-0010 in real time and displays them on the PC (Linux and Mac) in real time. No modifications of BK-0010 are required.
The description is Russian-only but it's pretty easy to understand the project by looking at the source code.

It's alive!

BK-0010 FPGA Replica — БК-в-ФПГА

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:09:54 GMT

БК-0010 теперь можно запустить на плате Altera DE1. Весь код открыт, содержит изрядное количество Верилога, собственную реализацию микропроцессора, немного древнего Си и ассемблера PDP-11.

Проект хостится на Google Code: http://code.google.com/p/bk0010/.

Elektronika BK-0010 was a 16-bit PDP-11-instruction-set-compatible Soviet home computer manufactured in USSR from 1985 till early 1990-s. Despite its quirks it was immensely popular in its time. Now it is reimplemented in FPGA and can be played with on an Altera DE1 board. The project is entirely open-source, contains a fair share of Verilog (custom PDP-11 instruction set CPU included), some oldskool C and PDP-11 assembly.
