Dr. CockroachThis is a scale mock-up of the program entry panel known as Brainwarp. A very RISC instruction set based on Brain*uck is used with some notable changes. There are eight instructions and program cards will be used with each card setup for one instruction.
Below is a working example of how the card works.
The card with the desired instruction is placed onto the program pad.
And in this case, the code for this instruction is 3

This is a really cool idea. Have the instruction laid out on cards, nice way to program - and "brainwarp" is a cool name BTW.
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks, The size will limit its use to basically learn a simple instruction set but I wanted something different and this sure is :-) And as it is cardboard and paper, its perfect :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
Looking good Mark, cant wait to see that all light up with a program laid out on it. Really cool idea :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
I also love the style of your prototype rig.
Fabulous :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
Thanks Yann, I just happened to have a cardboard box of the size I needed and the layout just worked out nicely :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
excellent :-)
You need to make a notch to prevent reversing, shorts, etc. :-)
Are you sure? yes | no
Hey Yann, Still working on the design but shorts should not be a problem but some kind of index pin might be used and as long as the code dots on the card match up with the leds then the correct instruction will be read. If the card gets turned around then a incorrect code will be shown on the leds :-) Still working it out but it is different :-)
