How are the diagrams generated?

The skill generates structured HTML5 Canvas drawing instructions to render detailed, high-resolution visual representations of circuits.

Can I use this for professional PCB design?

No, this skill is designed for breadboard-level mockups and visual diagrams rather than professional EDA or PCB layout software.

What microprocessors are supported by this skill?

It specifically supports the W65C02S (6502) ecosystem, including the W65C22 VIA, 28C256 EEPROM, and 62256 SRAM.

Are 7400-series logic gates included?

Yes, the skill includes rendering and pinout support for common 7400-series logic gates like NAND, NOR, NOT, AND, and OR.

Does it follow standard wire color conventions?

Yes, it uses standard industry conventions such as red for +5V, black for ground, blue for address buses, and green for data buses.
