The Amélie project
Information - Construction

Sorry, no constructional information is available yet - Amélie has not been built!

One thing I can say is that the first version of Amélie will be constructed on veroboard (stripboard). It won't exactly be pretty, but it will work and it will save you from needing to have custom PCBs made. That stuff will follow later...

What you will require Extra tools...

  • Soldering iron with sensible bit (not tiny and not too big; i.e. an Antex 16/18W) and solder.
     
  • You may find other things such as a multimeter, knife, screwdriver, etc useful. I rather expect you'll have at least a basic toolkit...
     
  • A piece of VeroBoard TM (strip-board) measuring xxx holes (along the track length) by xxx holes.
     
  • EPROM programmer.An EPROM programmer capable of programming a standard 4096 byte EPROM (i.e. a 2732).
     
  • If you wish to try out variations in the code, you will find a UV eraser to be useful!
     
  • And, of course, the following components:
    • NMOS 6502A CPU (2MHz)
    • NMOS 6522 VIA (2MHz)
    • NMOS 6551 ACIA (2MHz)
    • Blank 4K EPROM - 2732 or compatible
    • 2K static RAM - 5517AP-2 or compatible
    • <other components to be added>
