6502 + NEON PIXELS + CORE MEMORY
Sounds like fun, right?!
This combination of components existed in 1975 and could have been built at that time. Since I haven't found evidence of that fun combination, I decided to build it now. This project is the subject of a collaborative talk planned for Hackaday Europe 2025.

In my quest to dive deeper into the 6502 world, I've merged three Hackaday Projects into one:
https://hackaday.io/project/173636-neon-pixels
https://hackaday.io/project/190260-65uino
https://hackaday.io/project/166155-core-64-interactive-core-memory-badge

Project accelerator! https://www.tindie.com/products/pbretro/picorom/ The PicoRom [up to 256KB} made "re-flashing" the 6502 program UBER FAST. I highly recommend it for development on ROM-based systems.

The next phase of this project will be to bring the Core Memory and Neon Pixels alive with a KIM-1. Ultimately, I would love to run this system with the Monster6502!

Just in time for 2025 Hackaday Europe in Berlin!

Here is the video recording of our collaboration talk at Hackaday Europe 2025:
