Check out this repository and open arduino6502.ino in the Arduino IDE. Assuming you have compatible hardware (see below).

You just did not have to so, in order to do something with it.Ĭommodore bought MOS Technology the same year, and built upon the KIM-1's momentum by introducing the PET and later the VIC-20 and C-64. This is my Retrochallenge 2017/04 entry, a software only 6502 microprocessor system emulator for Arduino platforms. And actually, you could expand the KIM with add-on boards just like an Altair.

So the KIM-1 became the birthplace of many things, including the very first commercial games software (Microchess at $10) and the first software development tools. This second generation of microcomputers was not only affordable, but actually usable without $1000 in add-on expansion boards. It may have surprised MOS Technology, but with hindsight it's obvious that the KIM-1 would find a huge market in hobbyist buyers. And it has a cassette interface so you can save your programs.

And it has a serial port to connect a printer or terminal. One year after the Altair, the KIM-1 sports 1152 bytes of RAM, plus 2K of ROM with a monitor program that is much easier than the Altair's front panel. The Real Thing from 1976: KIM-1 Single Board ComputerĮnter the new KIM-I, intended as just a demonstration board by MOS Technology to showcase their brand-new 6502 microprocessor. Alas, you can't save your program, unless you buy add-on boards that are just appearing on the market. You toggle in your program bytes bit-by-bit. It costs over $600, a big box containing 256 bytes of RAM and no ROM. Less than 12 months ago, the Altair 8800 became the first commonly available microcomputer, using an Intel 8080. 6502 Minimal Computer (with Arduino MEGA) Part 1: The 6502 microprocessor first appeared in 1975 and was designed by a small team led by Chuck Peddle for MOS Technology. Microprocessors have existed for less than 24 months. Improve the 6502 with extra instructions, or hook up peripherals through I2C.ġ976. The KIM-1 core is simple, and many things can be done with it. KIM-1 software is beautiful minimalistic coding, to be savoured like any art form. Programming a KIM-1 is a great way to understand the deep inner guts of any computer. The KIM-1 was hugely important in early microcomputer development. This was designed with education in mind: as a first soldering project, after which it teaches something about how CPUs really work.
