The 8-Bit Guy demonstrates a custom hardware setup to drive five separate displays from a single Commodore 128 computer. By splitting RGBI signal lines and leveraging specific VDC register configurations, The 8-Bit Guy explores the potential for unique multi-monitor output and extends these experiments to IBM EGA hardware. Check the video out below:

LightNMEA is an extremely fast, zero-dependency, single-pass NMEA 0183 parser with minimal memory allocation, written specifically for MicroPython and Python (CPython). Designed for 32-bit microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, RP2040) working with high-rate GNSS receivers (10-50 Hz multi-constellation GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou/Galileo modules). Why light_nmea? At the time of creation (2026), there was only one NMEA parser available for MicroPython […]
