According to the plan I made on December 2018, I'm already more than one month late.
Let's see what we have currently:
- Registers board built. Registers A and E working. Loading literals (e.g. LD A, 5). The other 6 registers are just a matter of insert on DIP sockets and reprogram the EEPROM to write code to test them. Lacks testing the copy from one register to another.
-ALU connected and working (at least the ADD instruction). Saving result to register fine.
-The Program Counter and Memory, which is the only module still on breadboard is being redone on a universal PCB. That's a more demanding work as it seems. Some 8 hours of soldering estimated. At my self imposed pace of 1 hour per day, it's very slow to see progress. After that I will need to put circuit to manage the conditional and unconditional jumps.
Write down these logs help me keep motivated as it's easier to see progress looking behind.
