Bjoern Spruck Interview

[D-lag]

I've recently decided to begin to program on the Lynx and while I was looking for informations I found Bjoern's website. I've contacted him to get some help and he kindly answered me. Then I asked him if he would agree to be interviewed, and here it is : http://membres.lycos.fr/lynxweb/article.ph...3?id_article=16 !

 

The interview is in english, but the rest of the website is in french, sorry for the english speaking visitors.

That was a good interview - thanks for sharing.

Glad things are still happening with the Lynx.

The link at the bottom of didn't work for me - you may want to check it.

I'm interested in a copy if they were made available on ROM.

Those were pretty cool screen shots.

Made me think how great it would be if someone made a VLM for the lynx that would accept a MP3 or CD player input.

I must be a ..../~gd1113/lynx/

Available soon. At least the Lynx Reloaded.

The Lynx does not have an ADC, so this would require to built a special card.

I'm glad you liked it, greetings go to Bjoern for according us this interview.

Thanks, it's corrected

For the rest Bjoern already answered you.

 

In this topic : http://www.atariage.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=26641 you will have news about the demo being available on a ROM.

I knew it was a little more involved than just using a production PCB.

It seems like your program would be a good basis to start for a Lynx VLM.

The lynx wouldn't even have to handle the audio (through).

A y-cable could be used from the music source:

(1 to the Lynx, 1 to your headphone/speakers).

A special cart PCB would have to be designed with an ADC, input jack and your Reloaded ROM.

Then convert the audio levels to use as a trigger for what would be displayed.

You don't think it'd be possible to 'modify' an existing PCB to do this?

Seems very possible and I'm sure everyone on this forum would die to have one.

At least I would

A good basis. But a VLM requiers some more...

Normally you will not trigger on audio level but on bass or tremble, so you need a little FFT which eats CPU time.

 

You don't think it'd be possible to 'modify' an existing PCB to do this?

 

Yes. It is possible, I think.

 

Tschau,
