uLightBox64 is a slim 100x100mm C/64 (the original C64: ca. 390x150mm), with 34 RGB LEDs for automatic SID Effects, or for manually control (Basic/Assembler)

At the top is the expansion port (vertical), so that a C64 module can be plugged in there vertically, as well as a controller chip with WS2811 RGB LEDs. The individual RGB LEDs can be controlled by a simple Basic/Assembler or via various selectable modes.

 

Included are 10 boards:

- Power (12V, S-VIDEO, placeholder for optional HDMI Out)
- Connections (Userport, Tapeport, 2x Gameports, Floppy/Serial Port)
- Interface
- BT/USB Remote Keyboard
- CPU
- RAM (SRAM Adapter comaptible)
- ROMs
- Video
- Sound (3 SID Sockets)
- Top

 

A Raspberry Pi Zero can be plugged directly onto the connections board, so that a Pi1541 drive is then "on-board".
