This is great news! Looking forward to building my own device.
Will try the sotware too, to see some text output 😁
I would like to ask whether it would be useful to add an option like LOAD to pcvx.com, which would not only configure the emulation on the picovox, but also load or unload the ADLiPT, TNDLPT, and CMSLPT drivers. I believe this could make using the device easier. What do you think? It would still require the original binaries, but it would allow users to set everything up without any additional effort.
My opinion: separation of concerns tends to be a common best practice. Also, I don't think there's much of an added value, since a well-configured batch file would not need pcvx to have any load functionality.
Thanks for the update!
So much looking forward to trying this out !

Cool to see this project appearing on your radar now too, @dreamblaster!
And I'm looking forward to seeing the Picovox listed for sale on Serdashop once it's ready! ☺️

I hope that the final design will be available soon. My first PCBs have finally arrived today, and I will get to soldering. If everything works as expected on the first attempt (that would be awesome), I can release the design files. Also, I have been working on an SMD-based version, although that version still uses the original RPi Pico 2 and PCM5102 module. It is possible to take the components from these two boards and make a single SMD PCB able to accommodate everything. Sadly, I am not really experienced in electronics, and therefore I am unable to provide such a PCB now. I will test the device on multiple computers I have at my disposal, and if everything works (or if something does not), I will let you know.
"Goed bezig", as we say in Dutch. 💪🏽
Thanks for the update and good luck with further testing. 🙂
