It Worked!

A project log for Think-a-Tron 2020

In 1960 Hasbro unleashed its first personal "computer" to the masses, decades before IMSAI, Apple, or Commodore. Remembering Think-a-Tron.

The ADS1115 did the trick. Not only did it get around my "one pin short" issue, the analog reads are now rock solid too.

I redid the "shield" incorporating the ADS1115 and everything works really well now. I consider the hardware to be officially complete at this point. I'm still tweaking the software a bit but that's pretty close too.

I have also started to write a Python script that will make the creation of trivia question cards, well, trivial. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
