I am working on a version of the 1130 simulator hat I will run on an Arduino Mega or Due. I would like to incorporate the display lamps , which I will implement using individually addressable Neopixel strips (not enough pins for 154 lamps :-) )and also the console entry toggle switches . If somebody has access to a physical 1130, wold you mind measuring the width and height of the black area containing the incandescent lamps, the width and height of the black panel containing the console entry toggle switches, and how far apart the switches are.

Thank You
Paul Tremblett

Hi Paul,

As you do this, you might want to look at https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11 where Oscar Vermeulen has implemented a pretty handy dandy replica of the PDP-11/70. If you were to make something like this as a kit, I'd buy it.

I was inspired by the ArduinoAltair8800 after a friend bought and built a kit.
