Hardware project: Bluetooth-based Kickstart switch "AmigaBlueKick"
"AmigaBlueKick" is a Kickstart switch that does not require any soldering work on the motherboard or a mechanical switch: Switching between the different Kickstart ROMs is done via Bluetooth. To do this, a ready-made ESP32S3 or ESP32C3 Wifi/Bluetooth module is connected to four pins of a Kickstart EPROM (5V, ground, A18, A19). If you do not want to trigger a reset manually after every Kickstart switch, you must also connect a cable to the reset line of the Amiga.
Any Bluetooth explorer can be used for control, but the developer also offers a self-developed iOS app. The software for the Bluetooth module and the iOS app are available under a free license and the source code is available on Github. (cg)
