![How to Build an RF Modulator with a Pi Pico to Play Games on a Sony Watchman CRT
Andy takes a 1987 Sony Watchman portable CRT TV and transforms it into a working retro arcade system, without modifying the TV itself. Using a Raspberry Pi Pico, custom NTSC video generation, a hand-built RF modulator, and an Atari joystick, he codes an original Space Invaders–style game that broadcasts wirelessly to the Watchman. Along the way, he tackles composite video generation from scratch, resistor ladder DAC design, precise timing with PIO and DMA, and building RF circuitry from a 1985 magazine schematic.

![Welcome to Development Hell!
In this video, we explore the harsh lessons learned from building a swarm of tiny robots powered by ATtiny416 microcontrollers, vibration motors, and 3V coin cells. What started as a simple DIY robotics project quickly descended into development hell—plagued by power issues, motor driver failures, inconsistent components, and programming headaches. Follow along as we break down the seven circles of integration problems, uncover what went wrong, and share practical insights to help you avoid the same pitfalls in your own projects! https://bit.ly/3IUBAai
