The Easter Egg Hunt is back this weekend!

After an absense for a couple of years, we are eggcited that the Easter Egg hunt is back on!  From the early hours of Friday morning (UK time) there will be a bunch of clues hidden across RC2014 website, z80kits website, Twitter, Instagram, Mastodon, GitHub, Tindie and Google Groups.
Find all the clues and join them together to make a discount code for 17% off of RC2014 products on z80kits (Excludes 3rd party modules, components or gift cards)
The hunt will be on all over the Easter weekend, and you will have until Sunday April 16 to use the discount code.

Quazar Modules Coming To z80kits

Some of you may already be familiar with Quazar and their range of RC2014 compatible expansion modules. We are very excited to
announce that later this month they will be available from z80kits.

This will include the Graphic OLED Display Module and the SID Interface Module.
The ZXTT is an enhancement for the YM/AY Soundcard Module that generates a more
accurate clock signal so that your chip tunes will sound exactly the way they do on your ZX Spectrum.

Talking of ZX Spectrum, an expansion interface is also available that allows RC2014 modules to be plugged in to the rubber keyed wonder!
Zen has been ported to the RC2014 by PhilG, and he's made a video talking you through what it does and how to use it for editing and assembling Z80 code

Neopixel Wizardry

Following the launch of the NeoPixel Modules last month, Twitter user Lumír has been doing great things with 2 8x8 matrix displays, including Snake, dice and 2 player Pong! See what he's been up to on his website
