One of my favorite projects is my multi-year 6502 breadboard computer. Built using individual chips, resistors, capacitors and more, I made a functioning computer with a 1Mhz CPU, functioning graphics card, and IO through the PS2 interface

Although quite finicky and subject to electrical disturbance, my breadboard computer taught me the ins and outs of computer electronics on a level I could have never learned from a text book or video.

I learned to read circuit diagrams, the function of pullup resistors, how to make analog timing circuitry, and so much more about computers.

Here is some of my 6502 Assembly Code
