So who knows stuff about the #commodore64 light pen?

Was there an amplification circuit for the light sensor input?

It clearly is responding when I point it up at my task light, but it's barely 30mV. Just no idea if that's what I should be seeing. Also no idea why the 'floor' goes negative...

One button is 5V high and properly drops to 0 when pressed as expected. the other button doesn't seem to work, but the CGA only supported one button anyway.

A photo of the screen of a siglent sds-1104x-e digital oscilloscope, showing a one shot triggered capture of the 'strobe' pin from a commodore 64 light pen. The scale shows that the peak is quite low, just a few mV.

I happened to dip into an old episode of @rcrpodcast. Paul, Quinn and Carrington mentioned a wonderful 1988 episode of #TheComputerChronicles which is a celebration of the surprisingly long-lived and continuingly successful #Commodore64.

In the Computer Chronicles episode, we learn about a new geometric puzzle game from the Soviet Union, hear of the first Western hemisphere virus to infect Soviet computers, get an early indication that all is not well with the new Ashton Tate dBase IV, but best of all, we get to visit some of the #GEOS development team at their office and meet a plethora of wonderful Commodore 64 users demonstrating the diverse uses to which they're putting their machines. Excellent stuff!

I look at #Commodore64 "Dragon Breed" published in 1990 by Activision. The sampled intro with zoom animation, flickering multiplexor, and use a tool to emulate a Ye Olde Style CRT TV.
