6502.org

I've just been instructed by SWMBO to bake a cake, so apparently today I am $41.

p.s. not _how_ to bake, I already know that.

Still working on the basic OS as well as the user console.
I must have written more 6502 code in the last few days than I ever did in my C64 years!
Also added a few rotary encoders, a cursor pad, and some analog mixing dials to the front for the user interface.

I thought I was done making any hardware changes, but then a fan reached out and donated two of these to the project...

Two new 660 watt speakers that just happen to be exactly the right height and size to become the two support pillars!

Originally, the pillars were going to be floppy disk drawers, but they always seemed a bit oversized for that purpose.
I was also tight on space for all of the analog effects controls. Since I am using the new mixer design, I can go all out on one effects chain.

So this acquisition solves all the issues, freeing up the large triangular front segments for effects controls and dual analog VU meters.
The pillars now become towers of sonic power, 1200 watts of pure thumping bass!
Yeah, I will need a few boxes to hold all the sound file floppies, now but I can deal with it.

Working on the 3D model once more to mod the pillar frame for the new speakers.
Still planning to have the wood sides, but now the front will become the speaker grill.

Hey, thanks for the plug!
Funny, I was just looking at a design I did for a 30-foot-tall bike a few years back to outdo my old record.
It would be based on this over engineered one I made 15 years ago that allows climbing while in motion...

Being 10 years older than the first 6502 now though.... maybe I will stick to saner adventures!

I recently renamed AtomicZombie to https://chopzone.com/ as I can't afford to fight the trademark every year now.

Ps...
Your works have always brought me back here during the last few years when I was too busy to work on my own projects.

Cheers,
Brad

I see Hackaday just featured a recumbent bike made by Brad:
