Codepope's Development Hell

I was going through the drawers in the lab when I happened across a Kim Uno that I’d put together a long time ago. It’s an Arduino Nano emulating the 6502 at the heart of the Kim-1, one of the classic early microprocessor machines from the late 70s. The board is super bare bones, and with the arrival of a Flashforge Adventurer 3 it was time to get exercising the new printer to make the Kim Uno more finished and all boxed up.

So, I was looking for something to do at HackWimbledon today and as I’d just got my hands on the Hex Neopixel panels from M5Stack, I thought I’d see what I could get going. And down I fell into a hole which lead to playing with spreadsheets. Lets look at the device in question: Pretty neat eh. The demo code was easy enough to get going and it slaps a rainbow over all the pixels.
