See how microcontrollers and computers work at the most basic level! We are building a functional transistor-scale model of the famous 6502 microprocessor. In this larger than life model, you can visualize internal states and the flow of data.
What inspired you to make this project?:
I’ve made several other dis-integrated circuits (such as the “Three Fives” 555 kit and the XL741 op-amp kit). Some people have facetiously asked me if I was going to design a dis-integrated microprocessor next, and I decided to take on the challenge!
