I²C Devices for 6502 Breadboard Computers

Imagesource: https://youtu.be/i7q0P9-wszM

Anders Nielsen, tweeting as @AndersBNielsen1, has built a MOS6502-based computer on breadboards. So far so good.

Thanks to Ben Eater, we've been able to get to know protocols like PS/2, USB, SPI, and others at a very, very low level on such a machine. But Anders is now going one step further:

I²C on a 6502 Single Board Computer should be interesting for anyone who has a BE6502 build of any kind on their home desk, and for whom the integration of I²C components is an unfulfilled dream of a lifetime. (I could imagine other things, but why not …)

Anders installs a small display and implements I²C at the assembly level. Next stop: a font, and voila, you're almost done with your mobile 6502-based device. 😎

Definitely worth checking out!
