Re: Splash Scree

I think both EightyOne and other emulators support recording the screen to animated GIFs. I've used it my self to demonstrate my programs.

Re: ZX81 generates high pitched sound on CRT

I havn't opened up the monitor.

I don't feel so comfortable with an open monitor turned on, and sticking my head near, trying to listen, when it's turned on. I think of the high voltage of the CRT.

Re: ZX81 generates high pitched sound on CRT

Well the volume is turned totally down. So I think the sound is comming from somewhere else.

Re: Splash Scree

Cool.

An easy way to look at the source is to add these 3 lines:

Code: Select all

50 FOR X=1 TO 9999
60 PRINT A$(X)
70 NEXT X
Then you type GOTO 50 to show a screenfull of source code, and CONT to display the next etc.

ZX81 generates high pitched sound on CRT

Hi :-) As mentioned in another thread , I bought a B/W 10" CRT security monitor. It produces a great picture for my ZX81. However when the ZX81 is connected to it, it has a hight pitched sound mostly like a lot of grashoppers. I've made a video of it https://youtu.be/mRqWEro4Wdg but you have to turn...

Re: LCD only works with NTSC

Today I received a security monitor for cctv cameras. It’s analog but has RJ12 plugs for the cameras. I cut over the cable and found some help with Google, and it now connects to my ZX81 with dupont wires. What a great picture. Yes! Unfortunately it has a humming sound like grasshoppers. But in fast...

Re: LCD only works with NTSC

Yes I have disconnected the modulator, and adjusted the ZX8-CCB quite a bit.

Now I have ordered an old 10" B/W CCTV CRT monitor, and is looking forward to figure out how to send video to it's proprietary RJ11 connector, which is the only input to this monitor.

The signal stopped jumping, when I removed the modulator from my board. I can get a steady picture, when...
