Show HN: Discrete6502 – one thing led to another
Disclaimer, I have not yet placed the order. But JLCPCB have so far excepted all files and config so I have 1 more button to press. If anyone see some obvious mistake please send feedback.
This project grew out of curiosity. Loved the https://monster6502.com/ https://monster6502.com/ project but that is on another level. Here I tried to stay "reasonable" and added a Raspberry Pico 2 W on the back to drive it all. But also, was curious if Claude could pull this off. Guess I will have to place that order to call the cards.
- rbanffy 2mo agoI would love more LEDs to see the clock flowing through the processor, but that would be a LOT of LEDs. Maybe someone could invent an SMD transistor with a built-in LED.
- nativeit 2mo agoGreat work! Now do it using tubes/valves. The more energy hungry and inefficient the better! The power supply can be the same sort of diesel generators hospitals use during power outages.
- butvacuum 2mo agoThis is a fine project- Learning, Teaching, and simply as art. And, though I risk being black and blue for agreeing- I'm starting to: Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it. - Mike Tyson
- nubinetwork 2mo agoDo you still need the Pico if you connect pins to the outer edge pads?
- epatel99 2mo agoDon't think so, the idea is it's just an option.
- nullc 2mo agoI found the LLM writing exceptionally distasteful and it made it difficult to look at the page for a subject I'd otherwise find interesting-- it's an extremely bad style, and also characteristic of a lot of dishonest and abusive conduct on the internet of late.
- epatel99 2mo agoHave placed the order now at JLCPCB. PCBs are 35% ready atm. But! I have still been doing analysis of the board and there is a flaw so a rev B is planned and there are instructions for a fix on rev A (need to add some resistors)
