I was 2 years old when I saw the saturn V rocket launch.
I decided that I wanted to build rockets
Just be careful: when you go from 6502 to ARM64:
1/ in ARM64, you must explicitely indicate 's' if you want to update the flags
2/ in ARM64 storing a register write 8 bytes instead of one byte (this is obvious but can be surprising: when writhing a char also write 7 zeroes in memory)
2 years ago, I was building a PID regulation using #arduino and #fischertechnik

1/ there is no timing critical issues
2/ there is only one bit per pixel

I always hated that the 74LS247 did not support Hexadecimal display. Why does this chip display garbage for numbers above 9 instead of displaying AbCdEF (note the b and d in lowercase to avoid confusion with 8 and 0 ).
There was at that time a chip displaying correct hex but it very expensive
