Commands will be ADD, increment, AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and shift. The architecture is based on Harry Porter's relay computer (see here.) though I am going to most likely start with 4 bits.
The main problem I am facing is memory. I will need quite a bit and that would be nearly impossible to implement using relays. I could just put a RAM chip, but that would be "cheating." Maybe some old core memory.
LOL, I don't. I'm actually doing this for my high scool "electronics" class, which turned out to be a class on how to be an electrician. Since I am home schooled, I finished like 1/3 of the book in an hour. My teacher told me I had to come up with something electronics based to fill in the gap, so I picked this.
Well I sorta am doing it just to do it. I could easily get away with far less for this class. Seriously, the textbook teaches you how to subtract. I really cannot figure out who it was designed for, but it was clearly not anyone in high school.
I'm in 11th grade.
I plan to go into an electronics program of some sort. As far as job, I'm not really sure yet, though it would be really awesome to get a R&D job at AMD or intel.
but theres sooooooooooo much more to electronics then ones and zeros and transistors.
If you have a love for it like i do, an u go to college for it. you will be floored.
Personally considering furthering myself in Telecommunication if i can find a way to get my current employer to help pay for it.
Be sweet to work in "Deep Space satellite" research lol
