Show HN introduces Discrete6502 computer design with Raspberry Pico 2 W
A hobbyist electronics developer announced that a custom printed circuit board (PCB) design is nearing final submission to the manufacturing service JLCPCB. All design files and configuration settings have been accepted by the fabricator, leaving only a final confirmation step before the order is placed. The project, inspired by the open‑source Monster6502 computer platform, incorporates a Raspberry Pico 2 W microcontroller to manage the board’s functions, aiming to create a more modestly scaled implementation while retaining core capabilities.
The developer invited the online community to review the schematic and layout for any obvious errors before proceeding, posting a link to the discussion thread on Hacker News for feedback. With the design already cleared by the PCB vendor, the next action will be to submit the order, after which the fabricated boards will be used to test the integration of the Pico controller with the Monster6502‑style architecture.
