Learning Single Board Computers

Hello people of the element 14 community! My name is Nehemiah and I am 14 years old. Over the past two years I have been learning electronics such as arduino and a little bit of raspberry pi. I have made a few projects with my arduino (one being my science fair project) and want to do more advanced things. I watch this video by Ben Heck (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXllm5JWWAs&list=UUhturLXwYxwTOf_5krs0qvA) and wanted to do something similar to that. Could anyone give me a link to the explanation of single board computers and projects like that? That would be so helpful!

Thanks in advance,

Nehemiah

If you want to try an ambitious retro build, the AIM 65 was a cool single board computer: The schematics are posted here: Rockwell AIM-65 and 6502 related devices Index of /aim65

If you you are considering going w/ 6502, may I suggest 68HC09 or 68HC11? Much more pleasant architecture in my humble opinion. That said, I think the C64 was, and probably still is, one of the most truly utile computers ever. They have firmware versions nowadays, I'm told.
