Coming soon - hippity hoppity here comes a floppity 💾 🐇

We had a quest to do some floppy projects back in 2022 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/02/09/refactor-of-adafruit_floppy-for-timer-support-mac-disk-success/) but our eyes were bigger than our BOM - many components we designed into this floppy interface board were not available… but now we're back and it's time to make the bestest floppy archiver/writer/emulator(?)

First is the power supply - we need both 5V and 12V. We tried sourcing split 5/12V supplies but were not successful. so instead we can have a 12V power plug and a 5V ~3A buck converter based on the TPS563201 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/texas-instruments/TPS563201DDCT/5813458). we've also got a TPS259540 12V OVP chip (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/base-product/texas-instruments/296/TPS259540/28780) to make sure the 12V power supply doesn't get swapped with a 15V by accident. USB C can be used when no 12V is needed.

An RP2040 does all the heavy lifting for floppy interfacing. There's a 16M onboard flash plus an optional MicroSD card, so you can save raw disk flux dumps or 1:1 images. We tossed a 1.3" color TFT that might be useful for status updates. Also, we'd like to enable the ability to do off-line archiving - no computer is needed, and a display is essential.

Right now, we only have standard 34-pin IDC and 26-pin 'laptop' floppy pinouts. But we might look at adding disk ][ as well, since we got some Apple disk reading working. Since we have some silksreen room - the PCB is floppy disk sized but tbh we don't need that much space - we added some adorable floppsy bunny art.

Interplanetary Floppy Disk Delivery!💾 Mini-teaser of this little sproutling in the form of a space shooter (or "shmup"?) with flaming (space?) flies! Playable demo: Soooon ?(<-question mark), prepare your molecules! /Other than a few older experiments, this would be a first attempt at a more 'traditional shooter'. OH!, and UN-usually in this ocassion, I tried revisiting a piece of software called ORGMaker (created by StudioPixel (Cave Story)) to improvize a temporary background-music-attempt for the current level.

Il Ministero giapponese intende eliminare gradualmente l'uso obbligatorio dei floppy disk L'Agenzia digitale ha riconosciuto l'importanza della modernizzazione e ha chiesto di porre fine all'uso dei dischetti nei processi amministrativi.

zeeep ziiip this 4" square display is 720x720 pixels and fits in a floppy drive 💾 🖥️ 🤖

IPS TFT displays, and 3.5" floppy drives are like surf-n-turf: at no point did a lobster or cow ever meet each other before being plated at a restaurant, yet they are a tasty combination. We are testing a 4" 720x720 square display with a capacitive touch overlay using our Espressif ESP32-S3 TFT experimenter board. At this resolution, we're definitely pushing the capabilities of our lil Tensilica chip, but it's still an excellent way for us to verify the displays are good before we maybe get them set up on the ICN6211 DSI-to-RGB converter

Can we talk about the fact that 'floppy disk' was a term that was once perfectly acceptable to say in professional settings? Also, I've got some extra AOL internet, and I'm selling it cheap. Serious offers only. 3 and a half inches of nostalgia... 😁😂😝 #Antiques (good lord...) #FloppyDisk #LoveLoveLove #Nostalgia #3AndAHalfInch https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6SBUnOa8l/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
