This listing consists of all four boards required to build a complete CHIP-8 Classic Computer System. Ships with a CPU, Hex Keypad, Breakout and EEPROM board (See photos). Requires a 7.5VDC PSU, and NTSC TV/Monitor.

The CHIP-8 Classic Computer board Hardware specifications are:

• ♦ 32 Bit Microcontroller running at 48MHz. CHIP-8 OS is resident in Flash.
• ♦ 64x32 pixel monochrome Composite Video Display.
• ♦ Sound Generator – 30 Tones.
• ♦ RS-485 Serial Port. Suitable for Industrial Control Applications, with up to 4000' cable length.
• ♦ Hexadecimal Keypad Interface.
• ♦ EEPROM Option board – CHIP-8 supported Load and Save functions.
• ♦ Single 7.5VDC Supply, using a 2.1x5.5 DC socket
• ♦ Small 120x90mm PCA footprint.

CHIP-8 is a very easy programming language to use, and become proficient in.

The CHIP-8 language has 37 instructions, including 3 new instructions which support RS-485 Serial Communications, and Sound Generator Pitch changes.

The language uses 16 one-byte registers (V0 – VF), which can be manipulated with a variety of arithmetic/logic and conditional branch instructions. A 12 BIT Instruction pointer (I) indexes memory locations for load/store and display instructions. This allows multiple sets of variables or array processing. Subroutine nesting is implemented to 32 levels.
