What is it?

The CB2 micro is perhaps, the cheapest and easiest to build, complete microcomputer in the world!

Why did I make it?

I made this for anyone that wants to experience the feeling of the old 80s microcomputers, without having to pay a fortune for retro hardware.

What makes it special?

It is retro, it is cheap, it can be assembled super easily and quickly and despite it's simplicity, it is full featured!

Features:

Standalone, no need for a PC to program and display. Hook it up on your TV and keyboard and you are ready to go!
16 foreground and background colors (PAL/NTSC) on TV SCART (RGB/Hsync/Vsync), pseudographics and grayscale composite onboard. More colors possible with dithering. Color composite/HDMI/VGA support with external converters.
Sound with envelope and volume adjustment.
PS/2 keyboard (or USB with adapter), RS232, 2x serial TTL, LPT, 8x A/D inputs and I2C, all BASIC controlled.
Fully documented Tiny-BASIC with featured embedded editor, Chip8, SCHIP, 8080 and AVR-native binaries supported.
8 programs storage in internal flash, cross programs calls for larger programs, external flash and EEPROM options.
Serial terminal program, color serial terminal, X-modem transfer, PC connectivity, networking.
Lots of games, applications, libraries and hardware extensions available. Automatic program execute option on boot, for monitor-less and keyboard-less operation.
Easy to assemble even by kids, through hole components and cheap!
Free support on assembling the KIT.

And much much more to discover yourself, at the official website of the project http://cb2.qrp.gr/

Notes to buyers:

Since 10 March 2023, extensions components are available for purchase.
Since 10 March 2023, a black SCART connector is provided with the KIT, instead of an orange one.
