Looks like the board is working fine with the ROMulator, one step closer. As for the PET Companion board, you really need to use a composite monitor to get a better video out. The signals from the PET can't generate a 100% proper composite but very close. A composite monitors do a better job or use an RGB2HDMI adapter to get the best output. Thanks for sharing!
I also couldn’t make the companion work with any of my PET’s. You may want to check the model on yours since the companion only works with the older models without CRT controller chips. The other option is the very expensive RGBpi…..
I think the signal is off a little bit for these composite devices, talking to Rudy he said it should work fine with something t=like an old Commodore Monitor.
Awesome, I got the Wifi based standalone programmer for the ROMulator instead of the Raspberry PI one. So it was nice to see that module working. I've been hesitant to trust my build on my working PET 2001. I know it works via USB & WIFI. I want to use the ROMulator to "Upgrade" the ROMS and memory from the BASIC 1.0 and 8K. I'd like to see if it can be made to work with an ATARI 400.
The ROMulator is a great product, and you should get that CRT working in the PET, just be careful and methodical and you will be OK! I know you can do it! It IS your name... err initials? :D
It has always been one of my goals! There should be no problems doing it, I just have to jump in, do it slowly and carefully to build up my confidence.

Now I have a reason to buy a monitor!

It is a great little gadget, as for the Atari 400 that would be cool to see. Have you reached out to Bitfixer about it?
@@CanadianRetroThings No I have not, but that will be something to do.
When you have to go down the list of "known working" and still don't have a working solution. :D
See you at Boatfest!😁
Looking forward to it!
Don't play too much with it, not, that a Warbird flies by :P
