Add a classic microprocessor to your Arduino Mega

2024-1029: Teensy3.5/3.6/4.1 port has been added. 4004 can now run ~600kHz (even faster if desired). Would you like to join a very small and select group of people who used world's first microprocess…

What do you get?

Assembled and tested boards only to make sure we don't hurt any 4004 chips.
Please note the kit does not come w/ a 4004 chip. You need to obtain a working one.

Awesome board

This is an amazing board allowing you to run and program the first ever microprocesssor. I've always wanted to build a board for the 4004 but it's difficult and not something you want to mess up. Using an arduino to emmulate hardware is a very cool idea. My board arrived promptly and worked out of the box once I'd got an arduino mega and 4004. Thanks again Erturk for an amazing board and opening up computing history to everyone.
