Neil has also produced a video all about the Agon ecosystem and our Agon Console8 system, please see below -
The Agon Console8 system is made for those who want to learn, or go back to coding, and has the BBC BASIC programming language built into it as standard.
Agon Console8 promotes learning and education about coding and programming, angled towards the fun and creative aspects of software development, gaming and software structure. It’s easy and intuitive to use, whilst being a fast and powerful platform which allows users to make their own games and application programs.
The Agon Console8 builds on the Agon platform, which is a fully open-source 8-bit microcomputer and microcontroller in one small, low-cost board, built with modern technology.
The Agon Console8 is a close collaboration between Heber Ltd and the original designer of the Agon platform, Bernardo Kastrup. For more information about the Console8 and the Agon platform please visit Heber.co.uk
