HP41 with Pico RP2040 attached, update

[MeindertKuipers]

Hi all,

I have posted an update earlier, announcing that I have been succesfull to implement emulation of the HP-IL module and the PILBox in my Pico-RP2040 breadboard setup. This means that there now is a direct connection via USB to the pyILPER virtual HP-IL devices on a host PC, and the host thinks that a PILBox is connected. The YouTube video below is proof of this:




Next step in the project is to make s suitable PCB, one version for development using a Pico module, and the final product version in the shape of a long module. Besides that the user interface is needs to be improved to make it really useful. In addition there in a microSD card on my breadboard and I want to make this accessible as an HP-IL mass storage device.
