But of course, it's neater to use the box headers and ribbon cable. +For the button panel and LCD connector: +- You can use simple breadboard wires to connect FloppyEmu to the button panel and LCD. They are cheap and also come with a ribbon cable. The LCD and the button panel both require 7 wires each (since 3 pins of the button panel's pin header are unused). -For the LCD connector: -- 2x 2x8 header plugs -- 1x8 pin strip -- 10cm (8") of 16 wire ribbon cable +- Alternatively, use "header plugs" with matching ribbon cable (2x5 for the button panel, 2x8 for the LCD) - as shown in the build photos. This is a slightly more expensive and complex solution. -Again, alternatively you could just run 7 individual wires from the LCD to the FloppyEMU LCD connector plug. But it's much neater to use a ribbon cable and connector plugs. The pin strip is used as an adapter, so you can attach the header plug into the FloppyEMU. +![Material1](/resources/Material2.jpg?raw=true) ## Wiring FloppyEmu The FloppyEmu PCB does not provide convenient pins or solder pads to tap the button and LED status signals. However, it's still relatively easy to tap the required signals - as shown by these photos. The photos apply to the Revision C model of the BMOW FloppyEmu. For other revisions, better verify the wiring with a multimeter. diff --git a/resources/Material1.jpg b/resources/Material1.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..46ca7b7 Binary files /dev/null and b/resources/Material1.jpg differ diff --git a/resources/Material2.jpg b/resources/Material2.jpg new file mode 100644 index 0000000..680a50e Binary files /dev/null and b/resources/Material2.jpg differ
