The Cody Computer is an 8-bit home computer designed as a DIY project, inspired by (but not compatible with) the Commodore computers of the 1980s. Built around the Western Design Center's 65C02 and 65C22 and the Parallax Propeller microcontroller, it features 3D-printed components, a custom keyboard, and supports both Cody BASIC and assembly language programming. Offering retro-style graphics and sound, the Cody Computer's design files and software are released under the GPLv3 license. Detailed project information is available in the freely downloadable 'Cody Computer Book'. This project aims to provide a simple, fun, and educational DIY computing experience.
