What is it?

ELLO LC1 is an ultra-simple single board computer, built with only three main components. It runs Bitling BASIC interpreter, and despite its very limited hardware resources, makes a good platform for entry-level programming and computing fun.

Why did you make it?

I wanted to make the thinnest possible standalone (ie. including input/output/storage) system. As a separate challenge, I wanted to experiment with ultimate simplicity, very low power, and use the PIC18 microcontroller as hardware platform, just to add more fun to the challenge.

What makes it special?

ELLO LC1 uses non-trivial design approach to achieve the project goals. The realisation of keyboard, built without physical components and served by a microcontroller without touch capabilities added was an additional achievement on the software side.
