This Fake STM32 Almost Ruined My Amiga Build

PCBWay sponsor this video, new users can get $5 Free Credit https://pcbway.com/g/sa8ruG In this follow-up to my Denise ITX Amiga build, we tackle the one thing the case lacked – floppy drive support. But instead of cutting up the clean chassis to squeeze in original hardware, I’ve installed a Gotek internally and added something very special: an on-screen display using an STM32 microcontroller, letting me select disk images directly on the Amiga’s RGB output – no extra screen needed! Along the way, I run into fake STM32 boards, discover the quirks of integrating this system seamlessly, and show how I mounted a rotary encoder to the rear for easy navigation. I also break down every part of the cost involved in this build, from the Denise kit itself to the panel-mount USB, PSU, and more – showing what it really takes to build something like this from scratch. 🔧Project Links Denise - https://www.enterlogic.se/?page_id=180 Flamelily - https://shop.flamelily.co.uk/ Flash Floppy - https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy SMT32 Programming - https://github.com/keirf/flashfloppy-...
