6502 Computer kit
$89.99
This kit includes the components for building the basic 6502 computer from my YouTube videos. Please note: This kit does not include an EEPROM programmer or a 5v power supply. You will need to purchase these separately or provide them yourself. Kit includes: 3 Breadboard (High quality BusBoard Prototype Systems BB830) 1 W65C02 CPU 1 W65C22 Versatile Interface Adapter 1 28C256 32k EEPROM 1 62256 32k SRAM 1 16x2 Yellow LCD panel (with pre-soldered pins) 1 74HC00 Quad 2-input NAND gate 1 1Mhz crystal oscillator can 8 Tact switch 10 Red LED 1 10k potentiometer (for LCD panel contrast) 10 220Ω resistors 10 1k resistors 10 0.1μF capacitor 40 20cm Jumper wires 1 Hookup wire: - 5 ft Red - 5 ft Black - 5 ft White - 5 ft Yellow - 10 ft Blue - 20 ft Green Note: Full assembly instructions are provided through the YouTube videos. There is no additional material included with the kit.
Complete 8-bit breadboard computer kit bundle
$299.96
Save $15.00 when you buy all four kits together! This set of 4 kits, along with my series of videos on YouTube will help you develop a deep understanding of how programmable CPUs really work. This bundle includes: Kit #1: Clock module Kit #2: Registers and ALU Kit #3: RAM and program counter Kit #4: Output and control logic See the descriptions for each kit for a complete list of parts included. Note: Full assembly instructions are provided through the YouTube videos. There is no additional material included with the kit.
Kit 1: Clock module
$39.99
This kit includes everything you need to build the clock module for the 8-bit breadboard computer, including the same high-quality breadboard I use in my videos and a power supply which will power the full computer. Unlike the later kits in the series, this first kit also includes pre-cut wires, making it easy for anyone to get started. Kit includes: 1 Breadboard (High quality BusBoard Prototype Systems BB830) 1 140-piece jumper wire kit 3 LM-555 Timer ICs 1 74LS04 Hex inverter 1 74LS08 Quad 2-input AND gate 1 74LS32 Quad 2-input OR gate 10 Yellow LEDs 5 Blue LEDs 1 Momentary tact switch 1 SPST slide switch 1 1MΩ potentiometer 5 220Ω resistors 5 1KΩ resistors 5 1MΩ resistors 5 0.01μF capacitors 5 0.1μF capacitors 5 1μF capacitors 5 10μF capacitors 1 10 watt AC-to-DC regulated switching wall adapter (US) 1 DC jack to screw terminal adapter for connecting power Note: Full assembly instructions are provided through the YouTube videos. There is no additional material included with the kit.
“World’s worst video card” kit
$139.99
This kit includes the components for re-creating the circuit from my "World's worst video card" videos. It also includes the additional components needed for connecting it to the 6502 computer kit. Please note: This kit does not include an EEPROM programmer. You will need to purchase one separately or provide it yourself. You also need to provide a VGA monitor. Kit includes: 5 BB830 Breadboard 1 10W AC-to-DC Regulated Switching Wall Adapter 1 2.1mm x 5.5mm Male DC Jack to Screw Terminal 1 Screw-terminal VGA connector 1 10 MHz Full Can Crystal Oscillator 6 74LS161 4-bit synchronous binary counter 4 74LS04 Hex inverter 8 74LS30 8-input NAND gate 3 74LS00 Quad NAND gate 1 28C256-15 EEPROM 10 Green LED 5 1.5k resistors 5 680Ω resistors 10 220Ω resistors 140 Assorted breadboard jumper wires (0.3" x90; 0.4" x40; 2" x20; red and black) 3 Hookup wire 22 AWG Solid 25 Foot Spool (1 ea Yellow, Green, and Blue) 3 74HCT245 Octal bus transceiver 1 74HCT74 Dual D-type flip-flop 1 74HCT08 Quad AND gate 1 40 Piece 30cm Male to Male Jumper Wires Reinforced Pin 22-26AWG The last 4 line items are used to connect to the 6502 computer project. Note: Full assembly instructions are provided through the YouTube videos. There is no additional material included with the kit.
6502 Serial interface kit
$29.99
This kit includes the additional components for adding an RS232 serial interface to the 6502 computer from my YouTube videos. Please note: This kit does not include a USB-to-RS232 adapter. If your computer doesn't have an RS-232 port (as most don't these days), you'll need one like this: USB-to-RS232. Kit includes: 1 W65C51 Asynchronous communications interface adapter (ACIA) 1 MAX232 RS-232 line driver/receiver 1 DB9F adapter 1 1.8432 MHz crystal oscillator 5 1uF MLCC capacitor 1 30pf capacitor 1 1M resistor Note: Full assembly instructions are provided through the YouTube videos. There is no additional material included with the kit.
