I'm searching for an 8 bit microcontroller where I can look at the actual hex/binary code. I've been learning 8051 assembly in university and I absolutely love seeing and understand every single instruction and value in the memory. But those microcontrollers are antiquated and need a bunch of "hacks" for compatibility. At least that's what it feels like everytime I put my code onto real hardware. So is there a simple 8 bit assembly language with actual chips I can program simple electronics projects with ?
