My github is a graveyard of unfinished projects. So, when a new idea hit me, I didn’t even bother opening my laptop. Why would this time be different? Two months later, I finally picked it up (mostly to shut my brain up) and built Visual Minipro.
What is it?
Visual Minipro is the missing MacOs app for XGecu EEPROM programmers. I built it for retro-computing enthusiasts (like myself), automotive technicians, and electronic hobbyists who want to be able to use their XGecu programmers on Mac in an easy and intuitive way.
Why I built it
A while ago, I built a replica of a computer that’s older than internet (ZX Spectrum). Because the kit didn’t include the ROM (due to copyright), I essentially built a brick. I hastily ordered a T48 XGecu programmer to bring my new computer to life, but couldn’t make it work with my Mac.
