Photorealistic frontpanels for DEC PDP simulations under SimH

Oscar Vermeulen's upcoming PiDP1170 replica will also benefit. * Added Mike Hill's BLINKY animation as PDP-11/70 application. * Optically enhanced the PDP-10KI10 panel: Added rack background of the real KI10 at LCM. * Merged with SimH code base from march 2018 * Some people want to reanimate a physical panel with "BlinkenBone" too, or did already. http://retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone/setting-up-a-blinkenbone-project Finally I can supply the hardware, a tested set of BeagleBone Black, BlinkenCape and BlinkenBoard. I can't get the price below 200?, there's this penalty for manual small batch production (including some self-exploit). Doc root page: http://www.retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone Download: https://github.com/j-hoppe/BlinkenBone/releases As usual, there are precompiled distributions for Win32, Ubuntu x86 & x64, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone. Just unzip and start some of the shell scripts. Enjoy, Joerg
