February 15, 2018 - IO needs edge connectors

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.

Edge connectors made with cardboard ? Yup

This is a side project for IOs Brainwarp. The magnetic cards are not making very good consistent contact over time so I am looking into rolling my own edge connectors using my usual cardboard and fasteners.

What can I say,. It's pure Uglytech :-D But it works..... Muahahahaha

Well, it works with the addressed test board so I think that this is a go :-)

Yeah but I take it as a personal challenge to see how far I can go with just the fasteners ;-D

Are you sure? yes | no
