pico-mac-nano : a diminutive macintosh facsimile
pico-mac-nano is a miniature, functional, scale replica of the original 1984 Apple Macintosh. It is 62mm high (no, that's not a typo) and has USB keyboard and mouse support. Below is a journal of the journey but if you just want to see it in action, start building one yourself, buy any of the parts
This worked … sort of … but the result was unsatisfactory due to the common use if 1px wide vertical lines on the Mac interface such as window borders which would completely disappear at times. Well, I’m hoping for world peace and the criminalisation of nuts in brownies, but until then I’m working on an option to run pico-mac-nano from an internal battery so you can whip it out of your pocket (no sniggering at the back, Jenkins!) I didn’t want to add a digital to analog converter or an amplifier to the internal components and so opted for simply turning a GPIO on and off using a PIO state machine to generate a square wave.
