I have found out that after several cards were constructed that the cards were too stiff and warped out of shape enough to not give me a correct read every time. I have gone back to a simple design that gives a view of what is going on with the circuit and the magnet serves as both a graphic presentation of the instruction but also serves as a grip for placing and removing the card from the reader panel. I still need to wire the rest of the panel.
The Instruction set reading left to right , top bottom
code - instruction
1 - Subtract one from the current cell value
2 - Add one to the current cell value
3 - Move pointer back one position
4 - Move pointer forward one position
5 - Begin while loop
6 - Return loop until current cell = zero
7 - Input value to current cell
8 - Output value from current cell
All cell values are set to zero at the start of a program run.
