I read Alan Turing's famous paper, but I have to admit I didn't understand it! Bamboozled by all the mathematical symbols and typesetting. One day I'll sit down with a fridge full of beer and grapple with it again. Maybe this gadget will help, I understand 1 and 0 and TTL.

Are you sure? yes | no

Wikipedia is more understandable :-).

Ben Eater has done a really good video about turing completeness and touches on Turing's paper: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqNDk_UJW4k

This is really cool. Great work!

Are you sure? yes | no

Thank you for appreciating :-).

Are you sure? yes | no

This is an absolute masterpiece! I'd love to build one. I assume this is a custom PCB?

Are you sure? yes | no

Olivier Bailleux wrote 02/18/2018 at 11:37

The PCB is made with Eagle. Are you interested in the Eagle files, or the Gerber files ?

Are you sure? yes | no

I don't have any experience with making custom PCB's but I would love to try!

Are you sure? yes | no

Thats brilliant, using LEDs to jumper the instructions. I have never seen anything that simple before, awesome. :-D

Are you sure? yes | no

I used this technique on the NAND 565. Nice result, but quite expensive because of the price of connectors.

Are you sure? yes | no

That sir is a work of art :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Like a lot of hardware achievements. One should initiate an artistic movement, really.

Are you sure? yes | no

This is awesome! I love the LED ROM.

Now I wonder why nobody ever made a Turing Machine IC :-)

Are you sure? yes | no

Olivier Bailleux wrote 02/10/2018 at 22:56

As well as a C compiler :-).

Are you sure? yes | no

LED ROM !!!!! :-D

Are you sure? yes | no
