So, Ben's video further, he does in fact place resistors on the data bus and create a NOP, placing the resistor in various pull-ups/downs, creating 01010111 or EA, the 6502's op code for doing nothing. I followed suit, well, turns out I must've connected my Arduino in reverse, because I was getting ...

Yes, the baud rate was wrong, stupid of me, the program even defines the rate I'm to use (57600,) I'll get a pic of the NOP of soon.
I don't have a 32kz oscillator, sadly, I did buy one, but it got lost in the mail.

Ok, so while I'm working on the NOP with one chip (the old one,) I used the spare one I purchased to see if I could get any information from it via an Arduino (connected to the address pins,) once again following Ben Eater's video, I checked over my code 3 or 4 times, it compiled and when I turned ...

Hello!
I've been reading some of that 6502 cookbook, and my wires came in today. I also managed to get ahold of a few spare parts, including another 65c02, so I'll be looking back through here to see what needs doing.

I'll see what I can do about getting more wire, I downloaded the book, will spend some time reading. Thank you.

Your most recent layout photos betray a certain lack of organization. As just one example, you bring Vcc (+5 V) to pin 25 not by using a short jumper from the +5 V power rail directly above that pin row, but instead by using a long jumper to the other side and other end of the chip to get +5 V from ...

Ah, slight oversight, thank you. It wasn't connected to VSS but it is now. I'm reading around 500 millivolts on the address pins, and I got a 500kHz signal out of pin 7.

Okay, taking Hoglet's words into practice, I've received signal from Phi2O (which I know is clock output, but it's the only pin I measured a pulse coming from.)
Voltages where higher though when I tested them. Enclosed are photos, as promised.

Do I need an oscillator for a NOP?

Ok, I think I've got it together, I'm sorry it's so crowded, I've only got jumper wires for this, I was getting anywhere from .6 volts to .9 volts when checking the address lines, and my meter nor my scope could get a signal out. I've done something wrong I think?

My memory may be lapsing, but no, I don't believe this happened before?
At any rate, I'll build the NOP and provide pictures and results as instructed.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!

I decided to retrace my steps in building the computer over the past couple hours now that I'm certain the oscillator works.
As I mentioned before some LEDs were on, and some where off, I've ordered a slower crystal to see if I can watch them change, and I'm ...

Ok, so, the oscillator works correctly, tested it with the multimeter, I should've done that from the beginning, would've saved us all a headache, I imagine, my apologies.
But now that it is out of the way, I'd still like to figure out (see quote below:)


(Side questions, using a smaller crystal ...

Ok, guys, I do have a meter that can read frequency, and to be honest, I don't know why I haven't tried it yet, slipped my mind I suppose.
So, I can either use the scope for checking pulled address lines, or the meter for checking the oscillator outright (if it can,) or I can purchase a slower ...

Leepivonka, I couldn't find the CPU's clock voltage requirement in its datasheet, but I'm gonna go ahead and try Dr. Jefyll's suggestion, and leave the results in this post.
Ok, so I continued to get around 50Hz measured when I tried connecting 5v to that last pin.
