This little project was inspired by a video in Julian Ilett's breadboard PC series. Calling this creation a computer is a bit of a stretch since it only does one thing every clock cycle, and that is "Go to this address."
Nonetheless, this simple behavior can support a variety of applications from fading an LEDs and Cylon scanning effects, to reaction games and music sequencers. With the addition of the breakout header, larger programs can be uploaded relatively quickly with the push of a button on an Arduino. This same header can also be used as an output bus for controlling external loads or devices.

Below is Julian Ilett's video that inspired this fun little project.
It's all hand soldered with point-to-point wire too.
