    Hmm. I'm finding it difficult to trigger just one input at a time, is there a trick to this?
  • devast8a     27th Jul 2010 Former Staff 0 Permalink
    I tend to pause it then use a small brush with diamond to trigger it. Then wait till the clock cycle hits. Then repeat.

    This isn't a fully working processor, is it? It can't do "ifs" and have no substraction. But still great work

    PLEASE DO. Also I'm interested in how you're going to load each command onto the processor.

    Yes. The major issue at the moment with "ifs" is that the idea for inputing commands was either too large or was unable to access commands with an address.

    Which reminds me.

    For version II, The main things I intend on doing:
    - Upping the processor bit width to either 6 or 8 bits. (The main issue being the size needed for switching & size of ram)
    - Adding jumps "ifs" into the instruction set.

    Design documents will be kept at Linky (Anyone can edit it)
