Sinclair ZX Spectrum Kempston Joystick Interface
As you know, Sinclair ZX Spectrum doesn't have a joystick port. This is an unpleasant situation for retro gamers. I searched for a joystick interface for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum that I was restored and found Yarek's joystick interface project. I added a reset button to this beautiful project. As seen in the pictures, the pcb is a homebrew and working circuit. Problems that may arise after fabrication are at your own risk.
Have fun....
Bill of materials:
1 x 74LS32
1 x 74LS240
8 x 8.2k Resistors
1 x DB9 Male Connector
1 x Tactile Button
1 x Female Edge Connector (You can use PC ISA slots by revising them.)
