Ben Eater: RS-232

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/AHYNxpqKqwo

Ben Eater is back! 🥳

After almost a year of abstinence, he reports back with his latest video. And that makes the direction for the BE6502 foreseeable, at least for the next steps. After the excursions in the direction of the VGA graphics card, USB and SPI protocol, the next step is to equip the 6502 proven machine with a serial terminal via RS-232.

The protocol implementation will be exciting, since there are several possible solutions, especially for the fundamental issue of correct timing. Spoiler alert: We’re counting instruction cycles again. 

Where Ben's journey is heading right now, we don't want to anticipate, but his latest video maintains both style and information transfer at it’s best.

Let's hope, we get to hear from him more often again. 🤞
