The birth of a notion - The ALU

A project log for The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name

My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This is an educational platform for me.

And I thought I couldn't be surprised anymore by electronic circuits...

Are you sure? yes | no

I was out of my mind to try wiring that little beast but at least is worked :-) But the decoder was even more of a headache to wire.
