Recently I became a victim of cyber terrorism
![Banging Head |O](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/bangheadonwall.gif)
and I lost a large chunk of my notes projects, code, schematics. (Positive note: my music production files have been recovered up to 8-3-21 from a very damaged corrupted backups)
I am struggling to relax and just need some EE to work on and move forward and recover mentally.
This is a project of mine that I have been working on since 2015 and repeatedly was shelfed from other data loss events.
The goal: Complete Reverse engineering of the TMS5110AN2L and creation of a midi + usb synth for music creation.
Where I stand:
Chip is fully decapsulated and historically documented in Mame.

What I lost: Years of accumulating Data sheets, pinouts, refence schematics from arcade machines and various devices that used this chip in some form. basic break out dev board designed in eagle that interfaced with an Arduino Mega.
Current plan: Teensy Speak & Pwnage board.
- Stand alone full chip control and operations with all compatible tms5110A chips via serial terminal
- Customizable Midi Interface to enable singing sync with notes
- Board can be attached to a Classic Speak& spell, Speak& Read, Speak& Math, Speak& Music to turn into full fledged synthesizer.
tl/tr everything I've worked on and not published on my website is gone. help me revive this project from the dust with any information you might have and get me out of this mental loop.
