Found these R6512 chips in my parts bin. I think it came in a large lot of EPROMs. Looks to be a variant of the 6502 processor. What devices used this specific processor? #RetroComputing
@polpo It might be worth a post on the KiCad forums to get help with a custom DRC rule.

What posters should be hanging in a mom-and-pop computer store in 1999?
@48kRAM Thanks! I guess I really, really need to finish it now. :)
At Hackaday's Supercon 2023, I'll be talking about that little Apple II project I spent over 3 years working on... I'm so stoked that I am smiling in Double-HiRes.

@laen Is that worse than deleting the post after someone answers it? Because I think this is worse...
Made a quick badge and used OSH Park's After Dark. It came out great.
Next revision will have a SMD prototyping area on the back. And I'm going to change up the front layers. (Like, make the label area copper.)
@deshipu On the other hand, if you're using the structure to talk about or share your project, the audience obviously can't be the hero.
@deshipu (I am making the assumption you want to encourage others to use or contribute to a project.)
You can use plural pronouns ("we") or descriptive words ("programmers.") It does not have to literally be "Susan in row 3, seat 14 did this next step."
The ultimate goal is to help the audience see the solution from their perspective.
It is the difference between "this tool is the best thing ever, you should use it" versus "using this tool helps you make your project the best thing ever."
@deshipu Yes, I am familiar with the Hero's Journey as a storytelling technique.
When I was in my marketing role, I wrote many of them for product messaging.
There's a problem. You (the hero) attempt to solve it but cannot. You get help via a coach (or mentor). A breakthrough happens. Then the story resolves happily.
If you don't want to be the hero in the story, then make the project the hero and yourself the mentor.
@deshipu Yeah, that's the difference between sharing the project and selling a product.
It'll be situtation dependant. For example, if you're trying to gain traction on a new open-source library you created, then you CAN make the viewer the hero because you want them to imagine themselves using it.
However, if you're just telling your story on how it was created, then yeah... that approach does not work.
@deshipu one more idea: you can pick a single aspect or stage of the project to be the hero.
This approach might work better for a large project where you cannot cover everything.
@deshipu You can make the project the hero you are the guide.
But don't make-up a fictional character.
Related, you can also make the reader the hero and the project the guide. (That's what good marketing narratives do.)

@wirehead hah. I.C. what you did there.
What is the smallest component (through-hole or surface mount) that you'll spend time to pick up after dropping?
For me, anything smaller than a 1206 (imperial) is considered gone forever.
@nocontexttrek And I thought *my* childhood acne was bad.
The Analog Discovery 3 is Digilent's latest all-in-one tool. It follows the AD2 with some improvements. Here is an overview and some measurements you can make with either.
