How Amiga DiskSpare Saved 984k on a DD Floppy Disk RobSmithDev 2024-10-13 | I'm currently working on an update to DiskFlashback and I wanted to add support for the Amiga DiskSpare.device disk format and so while investigating how it worked I thought I'd share my findings.The crazy device, when setup in Workbench on the Amiga allowed you to format a double floppy disk with upto 984k capacity, or if you were lucky enough to have a high density drive, up to 1968k!I did actually manage to hack DiskFlashback to store 1.066MB by going up-to 13 sectors per track by really speeding up the writing. It worked fine with the PC drive from Windows, but the Amiga was unable to read it, and woul never have been able to write back to it.

Building Your Own Level/Map Editor in AMOS RobSmithDev 2024-09-29 | For something that I'm working on I'll need a level editor, so I decided to build one, and because its a useful topic I've decided to show you how a basic level designer could be built. This will be the bases for the level editor I need.There are so many changes you could make to this specific to your project. For example you could add the ability to have multiple layers of tiles, or maybe store all the levels within a single file. You could add options for where the player starts, or the game enemy's appear, and then there's the ability for objects in some tiles to affect or control objects n a different tile. But this is a good basic place to start from.🔵 Links: 👉 Tileset Used: opengameart.org/content/2d-temple-platformer-tileset-16x16 👉 Source Code: robsmithdev.co.uk/youtube/leveledit.zip 👉 My Games: robsmith-dev.itch.io🔵 If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi! 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev 👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev 👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE 👉 Check out https://retro.directory 👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk📖 Chapters(00:00) Introduction(00:22) Some Background(01:40) Tiles and Maps(03:17) Setting Up our Display(04:48) Implementing the User Interface(06:56) Tile Management(08:30) Improvements(09:25) Some Examples🎧 Kevin MacLeod Music Used • "Delightful D" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Groove" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Werq" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Newer Wave" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Aerosol of my Love " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Adding the Sun" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Copyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2024robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

Floppy Disks VS Magnets - A Test RobSmithDev 2024-08-18 | When I was younger we were always told to be careful about having magnets near floppy disks. I wondered how much of problem that actually was, so in this video I put it to a test. I test different magnets with different strengths, including the magnets in an iPhone, to see which have the capability to damage the data on a disk.One thing that slightly bothers me about the results is i was unable to reproduce the iPhone results when showing it to someone. I don't know if it was the way i was moving the disk or the speed or maybe the data was just weaker somehow but still a little annoying - good job i caught it doing it on camera!🔵 If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi! 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev 👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev 👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE 👉 Check out https://retro.directory 👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk 👉 Check out all of my games: robsmith-dev.itch.io🔵 Other Links • Techmoan - Erasing Tapes - how sweet the sound?: youtube.com/watch?v=2_Gh4Fu7_G8 • "The Core", Copyright (C) 2003 Paramount Pictures: imdb.com/title/tt0298814📖 Chapters(00:00) Introduction(00:13) Meet the Magnets(02:35) Measuring the Test Magnets Strength(05:12) Test Plan and Make Your Guesses(05:52) High Speed Testing!(07:23) Results!(09:01) Summary🎧 Kevin MacLeod Music Used • "Kick Shock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Groove" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Newer Wave " Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Professor Umlaut" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Disco Sting" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Shiny Tech" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Adding the Sun" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Cheery Monday" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Copyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2024robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

What is this Crazy Contraption!? RobSmithDev 2024-06-23 | After the Kickstart event last year I decided I wanted to create something to clean floppy disks. Sometimes they wont read because the magnetic material has come off the disk, however sometimes there's a layer of mold.Now I could just make something simple, but why not have some fun... so I've designed the most crazy of contraptions to achieve this task.This video, compressed to around 20 minutes, actually contains several hours of construction footage and that doesn't include the print time either!

Kickstart & Enable Switch for the A2000 Action Replay RobSmithDev 2024-06-09 | In the previous video I experimented with the Action Replay MK III for the Amiga 2000. However it only worked with kickstart 1.3 and its a real pain to get to where the kickstart chip is.So in this video we're going to install a Kickstart switcher, but then mod it so it will disable the action replay when kickstart 3.1 is selected.Latest DiskFlashback from: robsmithdev.co.uk/diskflashback🔵 If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi! 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev 👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev 👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE 👉 Check out https://retro.directory 👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk 👉 Check out all of my games: robsmith-dev.itch.io🔵 Parts used in this video (Affiliate links): • DPDT Switch used in the video: amzn.to/3wXjzCD • 5 Pin DIN Plug: amzn.to/4aE1UO3 • 5 Pin DIN Socket: amzn.to/44ZvkVI🔵 Other Parts: • Dual Kickstart Rom (not a sponsor): https://sordan.ie/product/550/dual-double-kickstart-rom-13--31-amiga-500-600-2000-switcher/🔵 The design for the control box and backplanes: 👉 tinkercad.com/things/dHcUgrs3qXJ-amiga-2000-action-replay-handset-with-backplane📖 Chapters(00:00) Introduction(00:27) How Dual-Kickstart ROMS Work(02:10) Action Replay Controller Update (Slowmo)(03:01) Enable/Disable Switch and New Amiga 2000 Backplane(04:05) Modding(05:56) Mod Installation(06:24) Half Finished Installation(06:41) Testing with Murphy's Law(07:04) Mistakes Were Made(07:19) Testing Again(07:36) Finishing the Installation(07:56) Summary🎧 Music Used • "Kick Shock" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Newer Wave" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Groove" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Son of a Rocket" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "One Sly Move" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Fluffing a Duck" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Basic Implosion" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Cheery Monday" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • Press Fuse - French Fuse • Straight Fuse - French FuseCopyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2024robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

How Bunny’s Boing Ball Bounty, the New AMIGA Speed-Run Challenge Game was made RobSmithDev 2024-03-31 | Last year I brought you the AMIGA game Hop to the Top, which had a slightly darker sequel around Halloween. This year I bring you Bunny’s "Boing Ball" Bounty, a speed-run challenge where you need to collect the eggs as quickly as possible.I took inspiration for this game from a hedgehog themed game you may have played before and I wanted to see if I could achieve the same effect on AMOS.I've included the entire game source code on the same disk image (ADF) as the actual game.See if you can get onto the scoreboard with the fastest time for clearing the most levels!This isn't the most detailed of videos, but a lot of the topics have been previously covered so check out my older videos!You can download the game, which includes full AMOS source code from my itch.io page at robsmith-dev.itch.io/bbTo submit or view a speed run please visit bb.robsmithdev.co.ukAnd thanks to Virgill for the in-game music: soundcloud.com/virgill🔵 If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi! 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev 👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev 👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE 👉 Check out https://retro.directory 👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk 👉 Check out all of my games: robsmith-dev.itch.io📖 Chapters(00:00) Setup(00:23) Game Demo(01:13) Generating the 3D Ball Image(02:44) Screen Resolution(03:10) Handling Rotation (Turning)(04:20) Mapping and Coordinates (Levels)(05:23) Sprites and Bobs (Blitter Objects)(06:53) It's a wrap!🎧 Music Used • "Raving Energy" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Groove" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Super Power Cool Dude" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Newer Wave" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Aersol of my Love" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Voxel Revolution" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Cheery Monday" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0🖼️ Game Graphics: • PixelFarm (bitbucket.org/tebruno99/pixelfarm) Stephen "Redshrike" Challener - opengameart.org/content/bunny-rabbit-lpc-style-for-pixelfarmCopyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2024robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

Can the PowerShark Protect Your Amiga? Full Tested RobSmithDev 2024-03-16 | In this video I'm going to test out the PowerShark, the new USB-C power supply for the Amiga 500, 600 and 1200.I'm going to put it through a gruling array of tests to see how it handles them, and how this could help protect your Amiga from any power supply damage.A yes, it is possible to get more than power from a standard USB socket - The PowerIQ standard on Anker devices seems to support it, but it seems to be an unofficial USB standard.This video is not sponsored, I purchased the PowerShark for my own use.

3 Layers of Parallex Scrolling and 3D road in AMOS!? Santas Present Drop 3 - how it’s made! RobSmithDev 2023-12-24 | Its crazy, a long long time ago I wanted to create a game a little like Lotus Turbo Challenge. Back then I was only able to program in AMOS, and so I created a small demo as a kind of proof of concept. However it wasn't very good, and not very practical and so I moved on.Some 30ish years later I started creating these Santas Present Drop games. In Santas Present Drop 1, you helped Santa drop the presents down chimneys as he flew over numerous rooftops. In Santas Present Drop 2, Santa was unhappy that presents were being delivered to the wrong people, so he installed the Gift-o-Matic 5000. So what about the third game? Well, "Whilst flying over the Alps, the contraption exploded scattering presents all over the mountains. Luckly however, Santa had his skis with him. Your job is to guide Santa to collect as many presents as possible within the time allowed."I wanted to create a 1st person driving style game, in AMOS again. Knowing a lot more now and armed with a load of tricks and hacks, in this video I'll show you how I not only managed four layers of background scrolling parallex, but also ended up with a fairly fast road-like experience whilst running fairly smoothly on a standard Amiga 500.This game is available for download, and includes the full AMOS source code. You will need the AMCAF and Turbo Plus extensions in order to run them.🎮 The Games: 💾 Santas Present Drop 1: robsmith-dev.itch.io/santas-present-drop 💾 Santas Present Drop 2: robsmith-dev.itch.io/present-drop-2 💾 Santas Present Drop 3: robsmith-dev.itch.io/present-drop-3🔵 If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi! 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev 👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev 👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE 👉 Check out https://retro.directory 👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk 👉 Check out all of my games: robsmith-dev.itch.io📹 Other AMOS Tutorials covering Hardware Sprites, Dual Playfield and other things: 🔗 Santas Present Drop: youtu.be/Q4brEnlxQhs 🔗 Santas Present Drop 2: youtu.be/mBLZ7Aug37Y 🔗 Trick or Treat: youtu.be/-iTyNe41a5M 🔗 Hop to the Top: youtu.be/NgoWRKUk7-U 🔗 Hop to the Top - Bunnys Revenge: youtu.be/DkCwUDhPs3o📖 Chapters(00:00) Introduction(00:18) Lets See The Game(01:27) The Plot Thickens(02:21) Original 30 Year Old Concept(03:05) Breaking Down the Game Areas(03:44) I Can Move, Move, Move Any Mountain(05:57) The Road to...

BassMX and Headphone Amp Full Test RobSmithDev 2023-11-12 | Whilst searching around on the Internet I came across a strange headphone amplifier for the Amiga. Something about it made me curious, so in this video we're going to take a look at it. I wondered if it worked a little like the BaseMX, so we'll also take a look at that too!When I'm testing the BassMX device you won't hear any difference if listening in Mono. Also if your sound system also has a separate sub speaker then the effect will be less obvious.If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directory👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk👉 Check out My Games: robsmith-dev.itch.io🛠️ Useful Links • BaseMX (not a sponsor): edsa.uk/BassMX📖 Chapters(00:00) What's this weird thing?(00:45) Unboxing(02:29) Ready to use!?(02:43) The Turrican II Test(03:25) Thoughts So Far(03:52) Let's Pull It Apart!(05:00) A Closer Look at the BaseMX(05:33) Testing Out the BassMX (06:40) Conclusions🎧 Music Used" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Raving Energy" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Aerosol of my Love" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "One Sly Move" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Beauty Flow" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Groove" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Basic Implosion" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Newer Wave" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Adding the Sun" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • Vertical Madness - Mahoney/NorthstarCopyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2023robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

Procedurally Generated Levels vs AMOS on the AMIGA!! RobSmithDev 2023-10-15 | For an up-coming game I need to generate a large amount of levels, but I'm too lazy to design them all. So in this video we take a look at procedurally generated levels using AMOS. We then look at speeding up the algorithm and finally tiling a simple maze with a very smart approach to the edges. The tutorial includes concepts about random number generation, arrays, and memory access using PEEK and POKE.Source Code: robsmithdev.co.uk/youtube/procedure.zipIf you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directory👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk👉 Check out My Games: robsmith-dev.itch.io📖 Chapters(00:00) Project Outline(00:17) Previous Examples (of mine!)(01:24) Random Numbers and AMOS Issues(03:15) Defining the Game Screen(03:36) Prototype The Algorithm (with examples)(05:26) Speeding It Up!

Finding a SURFACE MOUNT Shorted Capacitor RobSmithDev 2023-10-01 | So in the last video I tried to fix a dead short circuit between 5V and GND by removing all of the electrolytic capacitors. Unfortunately that didn't work and the short remained.So in this video we're going to check the SMD ceramic capacitors to see if one of them is at fault.Don't worry, I've a fast and easy way to find the culprit, and spoiler.... this time we do!If you are planning on recapping an A1200 be careful with C407. It has a different orientation between Rev 1 and Rev 2 boards!There are several companies that will perform this recapping for you, and if don't have a huge amount of soldering experience it may be best left to an expert.If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via Ko-Fi!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/robsmithdev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directory👉 Check out robsmithdev.co.uk👉 Check out My Games: robsmith-dev.itch.io🛠️ Things Used • DC power supply (0-30V,0-10A) amzn.to/3Lj6VSC • Thermal Camera: amzn.to/3RfSiTC (I purchased it from Aliexpress) • A1200 Capacitor Kit: (not a sponsor) https://amigakit.amiga.store/a1200-capacitor-pack-professional-recapping-p-12644.html • Kickstart 3.2 Licence: (not a sponsor) retropassion.co.uk/product/amigaos-32-cd-rom-only • Kickstart 3.2.2 ROMs: (not a sponsor) retropassion.co.uk/product/amigaos-32-rom-burning-service-for-amiga-a1200 • 8x8 AMG8833 Thermal Sensor: shop.pimoroni.com/products/adafruit-amg8833-ir-thermal-camera-breakout • 32x24 Thermal Sensor: (not a sponsor) shop.pimoroni.com/products/mlx90640-thermal-camera-breakout 📖 Chapters(00:00) Intro and Recap (see what I did there!?)(00:17) Exploring the *many* ceramic capacitors(00:53) Methods for Detecting Bad Components(01:55) Thats Not a Normal Camera, It's Thermal!(02:35) Constant Current Power Supplies(03:01) Capacitor Roulette - Upper Side(03:45) Capacitor Roulette - Lower Side(04:04) We Have A Winner!!!(04:40) It's Recappin' Time!(05:09) WARNING - Capacitor Orientation Check for C407(07:30) DiagROM Testing(08:17) Tests OK, Install some Proper ROMs(08:40) Proper Final Tests(80:55) Results Summary, Fantastic🎧 Music Used • Press Fuse - French Fuse • Depth Fuse - French Fuse • "Raving Energy" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Stay the Course" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Son of a Rocket" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Bleeping Demo" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Go Cart" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Disco Sting" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Floating Cities" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Show Your Moves" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Laser Grooves" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Unease Piano" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) • "Pinball Spring" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Copyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2023robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

I Hid A Surprise for Thomas Middleditch! Check Out His Reaction! RobSmithDev 2023-09-10 | Thomas Middleditch (actor, writer, comedian, gamer - watched Silicon Valley?) started streaming a humorous live commentary of my A590 video series on twitch, and I only found out when I received an anonymous subscription gift. At first I wasn't sure what to make of it, were they poking fun? So knowing he'd be covering my third video in the next stream, I added a reply to that video! This video (with permission) is from the stream where he discovered it, and his reaction!The stream was a lot of fun with a real positive vibe. Weird *me* being the celebrity! Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the entire stream, but I was invited to join a future stream for a live chat, and I kinda feel like I made a friend!

What is this Disk Backup Station Thing Anyway? RobSmithDev 2023-08-20 | In this video I'm going to show you a bit about the disk backup station that I made and took to Kickstart 01 - the Amiga show in Nottingham in 2023.I'll show you a little about how it's built and some of its more interesting features. I'm not making or selling these for people, it's purely a one off, although there is the possability I may release all the design files for it in the future.The backup station can backup floppy disks to ADF or SCP and uses three greaseweazle boards to control three floppy drives, and the user interface is controlled bu a few arcade buttons connected to an Arduino.If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via PayPal!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Paypal: paypal.me/RobSmithDev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directoryCode Snippits: robsmithdev.co.uk/youtube/codesnippits.zip🔗 Videos Used • RMC - The Cave: What's on these "Pre-Production" Microprose Disks? youtube.com/watch?v=gRz9kPdY3NQ • RMC - The Cave: A New Amiga Show in 2023?

Hacking Cameras - Arduino VISCA Controller for Pan, Tilt, Zoom and more! RobSmithDev 2023-05-14 | I've never been happy with the quality of the video recording looking down on onto my desk. So, in this video I explore using an old Cisco video conferencing camera that supports the VISCA protocol. We control it with an Arduino including, adding a joystick for pan and tilt movement, as well as an LCD display to help set and adjust various other settings. Hopefully this will improve the quality of camera footage in later videos. This isn't really meant as a build tutorial but there's some interesting things to learn regardless.Since making this video I've also obtained a 1080p12xS2 model. Whilst it has a much higher zoom, I don't feel like the picture quality is as good. Maybe it's the older firmware in it. Either way I've updated the source code to support both. I've also included PDF manuals which now explain the wiring!If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then pop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via PayPal!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Paypal: paypal.me/RobSmithDev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directoryCode Updated to Support Brightness!Arduino Source code: robsmithdev.co.uk/youtube/visca.zipIf you want the 3D models (although I can't imagine why you would!) please contact me using one of the methods above.📖 Chapters(00:00) The Problem(01:38) A Potential Solution(02:27) Tear it Apart!(03:04) Probing for Data Lines(04:31) RS232 vs Serial TTL and How to Convert(05:49) Hacking the Camera(07:48) What is the VISCA Protocol?(08:11) Hello World for a Camera(09:43) Extra Parts(10:13) How Analogue Joysticks Work and How To Use Them with an Arduino(11:09) Using a 16x2 LCD Panel and Programming Custom Characters(12:38) Using Custom Characters to Create Progress Bars(13:10) Using TinkerCAD to Design the Enclosure(13:23) The Final Schematic(13:47) Assembling the Arduino Controller(17:20) Opps, it doesn't work!(18:40) Final Testing🔗 Links • Big Clive Dot Com: youtube.com/@bigclivedotcom • LCD Library: github.com/johnrickman/LiquidCrystal_I2C • Logitech StreamCam: amzn.to/3LDIVsE • M3 x 6mm Carbon Steel Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws: amzn.to/3Nl4lNs • X/Y Joystick: amzn.to/3LE79nK • Push Buttons: amzn.to/41TWFXe • I2C 1602 LCD Display Module: amzn.to/44g2cZM • Arduino Nano: amzn.to/3oJpiHE • Shaft/Rotary Encoder: amzn.to/3LioW2h • MAX3232 Breakout Boards: amzn.to/3oH1eFl • Black PLA Printer Filament: amzn.to/424sk7O🎧 Music Used: • Rain - Remastered, by Dom Raven • "Spikey" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Broken Reality" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Blown Away" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "The Lift hi" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Inspired" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Shiny Tech" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Half Mystery" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 • "Winner Winner" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0Copyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2023robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

It wouldnt stay on unless I held the power switch in.So, in this video we learn how to repair the monitor by replacing the power switch and also investigate the cause of the issue.The replacement part came from ebay by simply searching for "CM8833 power switch"Caution: Care must be taken when working with CRTs as even when disconnected they may still contain extremly high voltages.If you'd like to help me continue making videos, then hop over to Patreon, or send me a 'tip' via PayPal!👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Paypal: paypal.me/RobSmithDev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE👉 Check out https://retro.directory📖 Chapters(00:00) Introduction(00:33) Disassemble The Monitor(00:53) Removal of the Power Board(01:45) Replacing the Switch(02:48) Re-assemble the Monitor(03:12) Old Switch Fault-Finding Teardown(03:44) Summary🎧 Music Used:• Outside the Box - Patrick Patrikios#phillips #cm8833 #powerswitch Copyright © RobSmithDev 2021-2023robsmithdev.co.ukWhere appropriate, all efforts were made to trace & obtain copyright holders permissions to reproduce their material in this video.

Retrobrighting without Peroxide - Alternatives Tested RobSmithDev 2023-02-12 | Last year I started research to try to find chemical free ways to retrobrite plastics. This video is a documentary of various experiments I ran over the course of a year along with their results, and some of them are quite unexpected.I made a few mistakes based on poor understanding along the way, but that lead to some useful results. I've also tried to add some science into this too (I hope I got it right!) I have two successful alternatives to Hydrogen Peroxide, and one very important discovery, which if I hadn't lost my way down the rabbit hole I would have never found, and knowing this helps understand why the yellowing occurs.Note: The methods used in these expleriment may cause damage to the plastics.Help me continue making videos via Patreon or PayPal👉 Patreon: patreon.com/RobSmithDev👉 Paypal: paypal.me/RobSmithDev👉 Discord: discord.gg/MKZ6HA6ZWE📖 Chapters(00:00) 2022 Intro & Plans(00:46) Results are in(02:06) Sun Brightening & Ultraviolet Light Experiments(04:58) Better Ultraviolet Experiments(09:00) Understanding why this works(10:28) Ozone Experiments(11:38) The basics of hydrogen peroxide(12:59) Oxygen Experiments(15:12) Some Chemistry - How Peroxide and Reactive Oxygen Work.(21:24) Bromine & its Colour(22:40) It's Radical... and how to make them(26:03) Zinc Oxide & Titanium Dioxide Radicals(28:50) Unexpected Results(29:13) What's causing this rapid rellowing?(30:25) Conclusions about the cause of yellowing!(31:07) One Final Supprise Result!(31:26) Summary, Further Ongoing Experiments and Final Conclusions🔗 Useful LInks⚠️ Please use correct safety procedures & appropriate care with the following• Wooden Box: amzn.to/3DaZh8B👉 8 Watt F8 Tubes • Day (Cool) Tube: amzn.to/3l1Bpyc • Flykiller BL350 UVA Tube: amzn.to/3DtQkr9 • Reptile UVA/B Tube: amzn.to/3kW90cC👉 9 Watt PLS Tubes • UV-A (Nail) Tube: amzn.to/3XOkyx8 (required modding) • UV-C Tube: amzn.to/3l1Bpyc • UV BLB Blacklight Tube: amzn.to/3HmUi5Z • UV BLB Daylight Tube: amzn.to/3Hpr5ar• 7W Heated Pad for Lizards: amzn.to/3JuC4Cd• Arduino Nano: amzn.to/3WSOYNm• MQ-131 Ozone Sensor: amzn.to/3wMrD5E• KY-013 Temperature Sensor: amzn.to/3Du2gsN (incorrect resistor inside)• Mosfets for Controlling Ozone Generators: amzn.to/3YaR7Fd• Ozone Generator: amzn.to/3kWbqIr• Camera: amzn.to/3kS2vHP• ThinkSport Suncream: amzn.to/3YgFtJb• Aloha Sun Stick: amzn.to/3YuzCQH• Titanium Dioxide (for Whitening Food): amzn.to/3HpasvO• Python Code: robsmithdev.co.uk/yt/rb.zip🔬 Research• Book and Paper Group: cool.culturalheritage.org/coolaic/sg/bpg/annual/v01/bp01-11.html• UV Radiation & Fading: naturalux.com/NaturaLux_Lighting_Filters_Fading.htm• O615: Bromination & Oxidation – Alkanes and Alkenes: https://www.colorado.edu/lab/lecture-demo-manual/o615-bromination-and-oxidation-alkanes-and-alkenes• The energy from radiation can be used to rupture chemical bonds: pearson.com/channels/general-chemistry/asset/f379e238• Photolysis & the Hydroxyl Radical: http://butane.chem.uiuc.edu/pshapley/environmental/l14/1.html• Chapman Reactions: http://www.cchem.berkeley.edu/molsim/teaching/fall2008/ozone/Ozone%20website_files/Page603.htm📹 Videos:• 8-Bit Guy: Adventures in Retrobrite: youtu.be/qZYbchvSUDY?t=405• Retrobright RMC: Amiga 1000 Trash to Treasure: youtu.be/oqxeSIieSjA?t=288🖼️ Graphics• Cute Dog: vecteezy.com/vector-art/544641-cute-friendly-cartoon-dog• Man walking dog: vecteezy.com/vector-art/1811853-man-walking-the-dog• Dog drinking: Image by brgfx on Freepik freepik.com/free-vector/happy-dog-drinking-cola-white-background_24554025.htm• Abandoned house: https://graef-photography.de/🎧 Music:• The Life and Death of a Certain K.
