Next, is a photo of my Altair 8800 front panel created by Adwater & Stir. The left photo is the virtual front panel of switches and LED lights. Above, there is a screen print from the Stars Wars game. You can run a Star Wars version of the popular Star Trek text based game. The emulator includes MITS Altair 4K Basic, the first software product of Microsoft, written by Bill Gates and two partner programmers. You're Ready to Run Altair 8800 programs.

From your Arduino IDE, click Run to compile and upload the emulator. Connect your computer to the Arduino Mega or Due. This instructable is the steps to setup and run an Altair 8800 emulator that runs on an Arduino Mega 2560 or an Arduino Due.
