PCB v1
09/20/2024 at 21:19 • 0 commentsI got the PCBs back from manufacturing and the boards are working well. The circuit is identical to the prototype so I didn't expect too many issues.
I did make an update to the Arduino code to allow I2C peripheral passthrough. The 6502 can access I2C devices using a simple memory-mapped I/O register scheme. I tested this functionality with an RTC breakout board.
I'm considering this project to be complete for now. There's a hundred directions I could go with expansion, but I think I got what I wanted out of it.
I've included the schematic PDF and the Gerber files for the PCB if you're interested in making a VR65C02 yourself. The Github repo should contain all the documentation required to set up the software.

An Unnecessary PCB Design
09/05/2024 at 04:20 • 0 commentsThis project probably does not warrant a PCB (it's kind of a joke/toy), but I designed one anyway. I put together a pin-for-pin copy of the hand-wired prototype. This should be functionally identical to the prototype with the inclusion of some power select jumpers and extra pin headers. It's a two layer board and it's well under 100x100mm so it should be really cheap at most manufacturers. I'll include this in my next order.
