  • Breadboard computer - Reset circuit

    To be able to start from or reset to a known state I want to add a reset circuit to the computer. Since the computer will consist of many ICs of different kinds, the way to reset or clear them may differ. Some chips may have a reset/clear pint that will have to be pulled low (active low), while others may have to be pulled high (active high). In addition, some may be asynchronous which means the chip is reset immediately, while others are synchronous, which means they are reset only if the reset signal is active when the clock is pulsing. The same goes for releasing the reset signal.

  • Breadboard computer - Clock module

    As many others, I have wanted to build a breadboard computer from scratch since discovering Ben Eater's excellent YouTube series on the subject.

    After many years, I finally have gotten around to starting the build. My build will not be a one-to-one replication of Ben Eater's build, I'll attempt to make it my own.

  • Welcome

    Welcome to vegardmakes.com, where I’ll plan to post write ups and tutorials for different projects. The projects will include electronics and 3D projects and possible other kind of projects.

    My first project is a breadboard computer built from scratch inspired by Ben Eater’s build. At the moment I am designing the clock module, and I will post the first post when the clock module has been built.
