Retro Cartridge Player
Share
Dillon Stack really struck a cord when he posted his video about missing VHS tapes. The kit he designed just felt so right. We reached out to see if we could share it with our subscribers and he was happy to oblige.
This took a little bit of work as Dillan is located in Australia, and as you can imagine, shipping items internationally right now is a bit of a nightmare. Despite some unforseen costs, we are happy to present Dillan's VCR kit for your building pleasure.
parts included in this kit:
- RCD522 NFC/RFID Module
- ESP32-S3 Zero
- Buzzer
- Pre-tinned hookup wire
- Fasteners
- Self adhesive feet
- 10 × 25mm NFC stickers

Accessory

When I saw these little notepads that looked like old-school photoshop, I thought they were a perfect fit for the retro vibes of this project. They didn't quite feel like enough on their own though, so we've acquired "forever pencils" that supposedly last, well, forever. Let us know how that works out.
