 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

Congratulations with the new release !!! What will you do with your time, when this is the last and final release...?? Finally have time to work on the telescope ?? Thank you for the years of persistence and support. I know I have been bothering you a lot, and am grateful for the support you gave to me and the forum. You can be proud of what is achieved.

I would be sad if it didn't continue. I've been following this project for three years now, and it has really enriched my life. Thank you very much. |

As someone commented previously: It is time to stop changing the platform and time to start writing some interesting/educational/useful/entertaining applications using what is there. For example, the ability to now use HTTPS and TLS MQTT opens up a huge range of new potential applications The TILEMAP functionality would have massively simplified Petscii and should allow many new games to be implemented with enhanced performance etc. etc. |

If you start developing and releasing good software for this platform, I'd be even more excited. Great idea!! I'm also pretty sure there's still room for small improvements to the system if they're needed :) |

Before you actually chuck it in the bin, I’d like to express my interest! I can’t quite understand your problems. And it would be just the thing for my son...  Have you tried a different SD card? I once had problems with it in the reference design; one from a different manufacturer worked a treat. Matthias |
