C64LED
About the C64LED PCB
C64LED is an open source PCB design by rdoetjes, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 43.2 × 43.2 mm, with 16 components from 12 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the 74LS541 and L7805. By type, the board carries 4 resistors, 3 ICs, 3 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 transistor and 1 diode.
From the project
Assembly of random tutorials, that can be referenced in videos and YT comments
In the underlying directories, you will find software I have written for training videos and other tutorials. Many of these videos are on https://www.youtube.com/channel/CallousCoder
Many different languages are covered, ranging from MUMPS (M) to modern day languages like Zig (which I adore) and Rust. All these tutorials are based around small (private) projects, that I either created purposely for videos or have been created for small private projects.
