Hi hardware folks.
Quick Question time (I Know not again)
Having seen an Arduino driving a AY to play some serious CPC and ST chip tunes got me wondering.... Would this be possible from the RaspberryPi GPIO and a Breadboard also?
Imagine a RPi driving 1, 2 or 3 AY chips to play back CPC, Speccy and ST Chiptunes the way they are mean to be played... Not a emulation in site.
Does anyone know if this is even possible, Viable or otherwise.
It woudl look great on top of my Fuze cased Pi, possibly even resulting in a real audio tracker for the Pi and AY Chiptunes... Hink of it as a modern PlayCIty Development suite... I might play with my musical talents and see what I come up with... I seem to remember back in the day they stopped after a basic rendition of Hey Jude..... One note at a time.... UGH!!!

Hm, linky for the Adruino project? I recently got an Arduino package to give as a present...
Let me find it again.

It's possible but the AY chip needs 5V IO and the raspberry pi is 3.3V IO, so you'd need to have some level shifters.
Why redo things with Arduino, when you already got them on CPC?
You can link the PC with the CPC if a tracker need to replay on the real hardware...
Arkos Tracker already do that and that work great!
