Like the hardware, the software is very modular:
- Overall setup, and control, including handling the rotary encoder
- A class representing a directory on the SD card with the ability to navigate up and down the tree
- A class to manage the emulator
- A helper class to properly debounce the encoder push switch (this is usable for any use of input switches)
Main
Main is simple enough:
- Initialize things
- Helper functions
- Loop, handling the rotary encoder and its switch and using the results to manipulate the current directory node and the emulator

Directories
The DirectoryNode class provides the ability to navigate a file system. It was written with an SD filesystem in mind, but just relies on the os module so should work with any storage that os uses.
The class provides public properties to get the name and full path of the selected file, as well as methods to force a screen update, move up and down in the displayed list, and do the appropriate thing in response to a selection event (in this case pushing the rotary encoder's switch).
When you create the root level instance, you provide an oled instance to display on, as well as the name of the root (which defaults to "/").
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA) oled = adafruit_ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(128, 32, i2c) ... vfs = storage.VfsFat(sdcard) storage.mount(vfs, "/sd") ... current_dir = DirectoryNode(oled, name="/sd") current_dir.force_update()
Use of the DirectoryNode is straightforward as well, We can call up(), down(), and click() in response to activity on the rotary encoder, the DirectoryNode instance takes care of maintaining the display:
if current_mode == PROGRAM_MODE: # Ignore rotation if in EMULATE mode
if encoder_direction == -1:
current_dir.up()
elif encoder_direction == 1:
current_dir.down()
# look for a press of the rotary encoder switch press, with debouncing
button.update()
if button.fell:
if current_mode == EMULATE_MODE:
program()
elif is_binary_name(current_dir.selected_filename):
emulate()
else:
current_dir = current_dir.click()
Notice that the click() method returns a DirectoryNode which is assigned to the current node. That's because clicking could result in moving to a child or parent directory.

Emulator
The emulator class manages the emulator circuit. Its public interface is simple enough:
- enter program mode, to allow the RAM to be loaded
- enter emulation mode, giving control of the emulator RAM to the host
- load the emulator RAM with data
The load_ram method takes care of the controlling the the address counters and multiplexers. By decomposing into a handful of private methods, the class is quite straight forward:
