It's captivating, for all that most of the video is spent poking at a breadboard, writing code for the Arduino, and poring over data sheets.

Hey, thanks a lot! I'm fairly ignorant of these topics (tho I've played with breadboards as a kid), and the guy does a great job at making it really interesting. I've started watching the entire build a computer series which includes this video, and it's great.
When I saw him whip out his own clock, I thought "of course he has one". Then he showed he could pause it and manually cycle it and I was blown away. Seriously cool bit of hardware he put together...

I've been looking into building my own minimalistic 6502 machine. I might just buy his kit.
Once I get it set up I'd love to replace the memory chips with an arduino or raspberry pi. Hooking up the data/address lines/clock would let me write some Rust code to map 6502 memory reads and writes to the other computer's system memory.
