Demoscene hack with the ChipKIT
By Morgan Gangwere On November 11, 2012 · 8 Comments
A while back, We got a ChipKIT box in the mail. Hmm, I thought: What could I do with such an interesting little device? I was mentally gone the entire month of november, due to working a major local event. So, after coming back to my senses I asked “What’s the catch?”
The catch was “Do something awesome.” I was always fascinated by the old Amgia/C64 Demoscene and have always wanted to nudge something cool out of myself. Well, I did, and its kinda cool; I just finished it to a nice, polished place this morning and got a video up on youtube this morning. There’s some neat things in here: the “starfield” is really a moving graph that uses some fancy trigonometry to make pretty pictures.
A touch of afterthought: The audio was overlayed by myself. I currently have some small plans to play audio on the board though.

Is the music in the video being played by the Uno32?
no, its just overlayed over the video. I’d love to do that sometime though.
Do it! *egg on*. Make something that would make Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV proud!
I too enjoy pushing little microcontrollers to the limit in the style of the demoscene. Maybe you’d be interested in this project of mine: www.hackniac.com/blog/?p=974
