How would we handle metastability in our 4-bit computer if we were to implement it as a microcontroller chip, a single-board computer, or a cabinet-based system? Now, after laying all of this ...

There are many different ways in which we could implement our 4-Bit Chewy Computer — here are a few possibilities for you to peruse and ponder In my previous column on this topic — “Building a 4-Bit ...

Dan Geiger has created a new learning platform which has been specifically designed to teach you how a computer works at the most fundamental level, and even allows you to program in machine language ...

[Michael Gardi] wrote in to let us know about his project: CPS-1: Imagining An Early 70s 4-bit Microcomputer. The CPS-1 was the first Canadian microprocessor-based computer. It was built by ...

Every time we say “We’ve seen it all”, along comes a project that knocks us off. 60 year old [Mark Nesselhaus] likes to learn new things and he’s never worked with hardware at the gate level. So he’s ...
