BrainfuckPC Relay Computer

Chassis after welding and with primer

Painting first black layer. Need another one, and some finish.

Soldered:

• Switch modules 8/8
• Indicator modules: 4/4
• 2AND/2XOR modules: 32/32 (And Fully testes Adder is Wire-Wrapped)
• D-trigger modules: 64/70
• 2AND/2OR modules: 13/22
• 2& Modules: 14/58
• Diode modules: 6/10

TODO:

• Base boards wire-wrapping
• Chassis assembly
• Blocks interconnection

My friends from Moscow  made BFPC chassis parts using laser cut and sent it to me.  I had to redraw it to 2mm Al, because 6mm Al is toooooooo heavy(about 5kg) and expensive.($500).

This model is lighter than one kilo and I spent only $80 to made this.

Other four parts 

I found how to catch midi events more correctly, so now Midi-grabber can understand short key press and movement to another note while current is not yet released.

Just need to learn play a piano :)

I took MIDI keayboard and created simple app for catching NoteOn packets and generating square signal for sending CarryIn to Adder (that's all what I can do right now).

I started making BrainfuckPC base plate and for doing that I need full 3D model of PC. 

I created all blocks with different assumptions. It's a final blocks arrangement! Final dimensions are 1000 x 650 mm.

Base plate - Aluminium 6mm.  Work is in progress, so you can check current model state on Autodesk site here: https://a360.co/2rnFQnh 

Draw and printed indicator module rack. I need four of them. 

Need to paint black internals and install colored glass 

White HIPS plastic. 

3D model in Fusion 360

Almost done with 16-bit switches - just need to solder connectors on some of them.

Each contain 8 reed soviet relays RES43 and set of LED's on each side.

Created show video-review of my project for hackaday Prize 2018 Contest

Insane five hundred ADDC operations per second to the relay!

0x9999+0x6666 + Carry = 0x10000 with Carry and 0xFFFF w/o it, so All digits are involved
