Ben Eater Style Commander X16 now mostly working

This is for products with a physical and digital component. Things like an Arduino based emulator of a 1970s mainframe, a toaster that butters your bread, or even a homebrew computer.

Ben Eater Style Commander X16 now mostly working

Post by Jeffrey »


For those that do not follow the (unofficial) discord channel, here is a video showing the Ben Eater Style Commander X16 that I have been building lately. See the video:





With much help from the X16 discord community (most notably Wavicle) it is now mostly working. Much is still to be done, but I wanted to share my progress in the form of a (silly) video which is a nod to Ben Eater's 6502 videos. What you hear is the latest addition of a DAC producing 44,1KHz stereo sound. the picture is the nod mentioned earlier.

The machine consists of soldered prototype boards and breadboards. VERA is implemented using a (modified) UPDuino 3.1

Cheers,

Jeffrey

Very cool!

It looks like X16 discord is the place to be nowadays. I thought it was pretty quiet here on the forum, but when I log in to discord I'm happy to see that lots of cool things are brewing!

I stumbled onto your (very short, no information!) video yesterday, and thought it was pretty cool regardless.

Is the X16 Discord channel really hopping?   Guess I'll have to see.
