README
Readme.mdVersatile Micro Computer
The Versatile Micro Computer (VMC for short) is a 6502 platform designed to be Powerful, expandable, and versatile
The VMC was designed as a project to express everything I have leared in electrical engineering, and as a way to learn more concepts in electrical engineering, computer engineering and computer science
Repository layout
- Hardware: KiCad files for the Hardware side of the VMC
- Reference: Reference documents
- Software: all sorts of programs
- Tools: Tools for testing
Licensing
- Hardware: Global License applies to all files
- Reference: License depends on file. Global license likely applies to any non datasheet files.
- Software: Global License applies to all files outside of /3rd Party Software/ folder
- Tools: Global License does not apply to any file.

Questions
What parts does the Micro Probe mini use?
159 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Micro Probe mini KiCad files?
From the jurendono/VMC repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/Micro Probe/Micro Probe mini.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/Micro Probe/Micro Probe mini 2.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Micro Probe mini design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask jurendono before reusing the design.
