Retro Wireless Quiz Buzzer System

thingiverse

Part 3: In this video I decided to update the wireless quiz buzzer system so I could connect the controller up to my Amiga, and then from AMOS, build a basic quiz system. The box from part 2 of the controller needs to be updated to accommodate the new DB9 RS232 serial connector on the back. The AMOS quiz system will communicate with the controller over the serial port, and uses a form of interrupts ("every") to keep the communication going. The quiz system will ask the questions by typing them onto the screen, and then when someone answers it colours the screen to the colour of the button pressed. It then waits for the user to press 1, 2 or 3 on the keyboard to input their answer, to which it will either give them a point and move on, or block them out and offer the question to the remaining players. At any point the ESC key can be pressed to skip the current question, and I've provided 100 of them!
