Have you built anything meaningful with logic gates yet?

You can't build anything meaningful without them

if OP is RETARDED and GAY then SAGE the options field

>t. didn't built anything meaningful with them

I did the nan to tetris stuff but the second part of the course is kinda boring, the assembly language kinda sucks.

We designed and implemented mips-like accumulator machines in a logic simulator during uni, I don't think that was meaningful tho

Pic related, still a work-in-progress as you can see.
When completed, it will be a homebrew digital cpu made of discrete components.
The rest of the system (rom, ram and io) will probably sit above it, like a tower.

How did you summon your inner Jim Keller?

Originally it was done entirely as a simulated project in logisim, basically a personal project to see if I could do it (I had studied computer architecture at uni, which means I should have been able to).
Plus, it is a cool and interesting project per-se, designing an instruction set and everything.
Looking at the source files, it was around winter 2019 or so.
Pic related shows a later design iteration.
Other than the circuit itself, I wrote (in Python) a rudimentary assembler which would compile my assembly source into rom images.
I wasn't aware of Ben Eater's youtube series at the time, but I came out with an architecture which is fairly similar to his own. (much later I copied some of his hardware design choices, such as picking the 74LS173 register).

The project basically stayed a pretty little simulation until late this April; I had been toying with the idea that, with some simplifications, it would perhaps be possible to build it physically.
(i.e. the overpowered fantasy ALU had to go, replaced with a design using 4 8K ROMs).
I decided to wire it up all by hand on protoboards; it's a pleasant pastime, but the final product tends to turn into a fine mess of wires.

Thanks for reading my blog

You are too good here,mate.

No its my job half the time to debug them for retarded customers so I'm no longer interested in this shit in my free time.

Pretty nice anon, I learned digital electronics but never made a big project like this

Does a cascade multiplier in verilog count?

>meaningful
lol, lmao even.
