Amiga Chip Explorer

Amiga Chip Explorer is a retro-styled reference application for exploring key custom and support ICs across classic Commodore Amiga systems.

It provides two main workflows:

• Chip Library: browse chips by Amiga model and review package, pin-count, and function metadata.
• Schematic Viewer: inspect an individual chip package, click pins, and view signal-level reference media.

Project Goals

• Centralize core chip reference data for multiple Amiga generations.
• Offer a fast visual workflow for moving from model → chip → pin details.
• Keep a compact, browser-based UI suitable for hobby electronics, reverse engineering, and preservation work.

Supported Amiga Models

The current dataset includes:

• A1200
• A600
• A500
• A2000
• CD32
• A3000
• A4000
• CDTV

Key Features

• Interactive model and chip navigation with URL-synced state in the schematic viewer.
• Chip metadata catalog including part number, package type, and pin count.
• Pin selection + signal panel for focused per-pin review.
• Retro terminal/CRT-inspired interface tuned for high-contrast reference use.

Tech Stack

• Next.js 15 (App Router)
• React 19
• TypeScript
• Tailwind CSS

Getting Started

1) Install dependencies

npm install

2) Run the development server

npm run dev

Open http://localhost:4028.

Available Scripts

• npm run dev — start development server on port 4028
• npm run build — build for production
• npm run serve — run production server
• npm run lint — run ESLint checks
• npm run lint:fix — auto-fix lint issues where possible
• npm run type-check — run TypeScript checks without emitting files
• npm run format — format source files with Prettier

Main Routes

• /chip-library — main chip browsing interface
• /schematic-viewer — package/pin viewer

The schematic viewer accepts URL search params (such as modelId, chipId, package, and pinCount) so selected context can be shared or revisited.

Notes

• This project uses static in-repo model/chip definitions as its initial data source.
• Signal reference media is loaded from public/assets/signals/... paths in the schematic workflow.
