# RC6502 Serial IO
|
|
|
|
This module enables serial communication with the RC6502 computer. The original Apple 1 computer communicated with the user via the expected means, a keyboard for input and ofcourse a simplified video card for output - all of this via the PIA (MC6820, MC6821, W65c21 etc).
|
|
|
|
The serial module works by replacing all of this so that characters are transferred using the serial communications functionality on an Arduino Nano board. To make things easier when communicating, a MCP23S17 SPI IO-expander (see [Githup Repository](https://github.com/MajenkoLibraries/MCP23S17) for the library needed) is used as the interface between the two computer and the Nano.

# Schematic
|
|
The supplied KiCad files should be sufficient as both a schematic and as a starting
|
|
point for ordering PCBs, the schematic is also available in
|
|
[PDF-format](https://github.com/tebl/RC6502/raw/master/RC6502%20Serial%20IO/export/RC6502%20Serial%20IO.pdf). You can refer to the BOM below for a list of suggested components to use, part numbers in parenthesis are optional and is not required.
