RomWBW Pico Z80 CPM computer emulator extkits.co.uk/product/pico-rom

and

RC2040 Pico #RC2014 Z80 emulator extkits.co.uk/product/rc2040/

Now both compile under SDK2

Most issues fixed by using a later release of SDK2 (glad I waited for that one, rather than trying to fix the bleeding edge) and the serial port issue was a minor fix sent to me by a contributor (Thanks)

Other XK Pico kits to be SDK2'ed later...

A  175mm tall, high voltage generator that will achieve 30,000 to 40,000 volts of "static" electricity. With no mechanical parts. The Cockcroft Walton Multiplier is a safe, current limited high voltage generator for home lab or classroom. It is capable of providing the high voltage for all the experiments that can be done with the 150mm Van De Graaff, but as there is no reliance on triboelectric charging it does not require the low humidity and scrupulous cleanliness and so removes many of the problems associated with traditional Van de Graffs.

Unusually for a Cockcroft Walton Multiplier the high voltage is delivered to a small Van de Graaff dome to ease its use with experiments intended for a classic VDG

@poetaster That's great, It sounds just like the note only mode (auto tune to the nearest "actual" note) of the Luminiforous Theremin :)

@ExtKits ah! I really need to buy one! I built something similar and while looking about to compare algos discovered luminiferous ... Mine is at poetaster.org/spires ... TOF scale arp thingy.
