C64 ROM switcher, Hidden cam viewer, Motorized fader pot and PCB sponsor

Last Updated or created 2025-10-15

Lol, got an email from a PCB sponsor!

Deeply impressed by your blog content which means a lot to electronic enthusiasts.
I'd like to sponsor your project by providing free PCB prototyping,

ROM SWITCHER

I made a rom switcher in the past.
Now I’m using an Arduino to switch Kernal and Character rom.
(Partly idea from Adrian)

Where the F* is my schematic

Above right picture:

  • Tactile button (emulates restore key)
  • Red led – reset
  • Yellow led – Exrom
  • Blue leds, Address lines select ROM part in 27512 EPROM
  • Green leds, Address lines select ROM part Character ROM

Motorized Fader Potentiometer

I don’t trust some B&B’s so I made a camera detector.
(I always scan the wifi and Access Points)
This one lets you know if there are IR enabled camera’s.
(Night vision)

Picture 1:

  • 1 = org camera module, IR filter is hard to remove. (See pink color)
  • 2 = other module, IR filter is at bottom
  • 3 = IR Filter, I removed this.

Picture 2:

IR light blast from a “hidden” camera. (I need to adjust focus of lens)
