Description: BMC64 Keyboard Joystick connector for Raspberry Commodore. BMC64 Version 3.9 now added REU to cartridge menu ! This PCB is designed to be used with BMC64 (a bare metal Commodore 64 emulator for the Raspberry Pi 2/3) to get your 'C64 emulator in a C64 shell' project one step closer to perfection! Use GPIO Config #2 in the menu.BMC64 v2.4 or higher must be used (available at https://github.com/randyrossi/bmc64).Note, this PCB will only work with BMC64 (or BMC128/BMVIC20 sister projects). It allows the emulator running on the Raspberry Pi 2/3 to scan a real C64 keyboard and joysticks via GPIO. It also gives you switchable power in the same spot as the real C64. (NOTE: There are no analog inputs on the joystick ports, so paddles won't work.) Includes only what is shown in the photos in this listing, no power supply, no IDE cable, no Raspberry or anything else.For the GPIO cable search Amazon for something like "GPIO Ribbon Cable for Raspberry" Please note that you power this with a 5V 2.5Amp power adapter with 2.10mm ID, 5.50mm OD barrel jack connector - these are super common. You can use an old 40-pin 40-wire IDE cable (NOT the 80 wire ones, nor the ones with double connectors) to connect the PCB to the GPIO of RPI - just like in the picture. WARNING - do read this: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=241939 - use the right 40-pin straight cable
