Building a TZXDuino & How to program (or Update) the Firmware!

This video is kindly sponsored by https://www.PCBWay.com! Join me as we build a TZXDuino, from PCB through to programming the Arduino!

We go through the whole build, set up the Arduino IDE software with the required libraries and I explain how to program the unit (and where to get the latest firmwares).
