OpenFlops and FlashFloppy Firmware for an Open Source Floppy Drive Emulator as a GoTek Alternative

This video is sponsored by PCBWay. Only $5 for 10 PCBs and Only $4.98 for 3D Printing + Express 24 hour service on http://www.pcbway.com/ OpenFlops is an open source hardware floppy drive emulator running with the open source firmware FlashFloppy. The printed circuit board has been designed as a GoTek alternative with the free and open source software KiCad by SukkoPera. All schematics are available in GitHub. OpenFlops features STM32 microcontroller, more precisely STM32F105RBT6. FlashFloppy is another open source project hosted in GitHub and started by Keir Fraser.

On Linux it is very easy to upload FlashFloppy to OpenFlops using USB to UART dongle and stm32flash command-line interface application: https://sourceforge.net/projects/stm3...

The demonstration in the video features OpenFlops connected to Commodore Amiga 500.
