FIGnition Fuze

Imagesource: https://sites.google.com/site/libby8dev/

The following project by Julian Skidmore is also not quite as fresh as it used to be, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it could well get one or two bored hobbyists off the couch.

Ever heard of FIGnition Fuze?

Granted, the name is a bit ... idiosyncratic, but the project is interesting. What you get here is a DIY computer that functions like an 8-bit home micro, but with a 20MHz Atmel ATmega328 microcontroller doing its thing inside.

Unfortunately unavailable due to the current state of the world. But being on the positive side of life, we assume, that like all other things this can only improve.

Besides a PS/2 keyboard, the thing communicates with PAL and NTSC compatible output devices, and is directly programmable thanks to built-in Forth.

Fancy something new? If you still have the necessary hardware lying around ... don't build the thing, call us. 😜
