I built a programmable 8-bit computer from scratch on breadboards using only simple logic gates. I documented the whole project in a series of YouTube videos and on this web site. Watch this video for an introduction:

Nov 23, 2020 · For a fully featured 8-bit computer, this build goes deep into the details of how the computer works. The clock allows programs to be stepped through one cycle at a time, and even the memory can...

8-bit Breadboard Computer: This is an 8-bit computer, made entirely on a dozen breadboards, mainly using 74LS TTL logic chips. It features an operating frequency from 0.5 Hz to thousands of hertz, 256 bytes of RAM, 16 instructions, an input keyboard and an output display…

Sep 28, 2021 · Years ago I came upon Ben Eater’s series of YouTube videos about building an 8-bit computer on a series of breadboards. I watched the entire series but didn’t have the energy to complete the project myself. Then a few months ago I decided to finally give it a go.

If you’re interested in following along with my 8-bit breadboard computer videos and building your own, I’ve assembled kits that include all of the components I used in the videos, including the Arduino nano (used to program the LED and control EEPROMs) and a 5 volt power supply.

RC2014 is a simple 8 bit Z80 based modular computer originally built to run Microsoft BASIC. It is inspired by the home built computers of the late 70s and computer revolution of the early 80s. It is not a clone of anything specific, but there are suggestions of the ZX81, UK101, S100, Superboard II and Apple I in here.

Oct 11, 2021 · All that’s needed is the TinyFPGA BX plugged into a breadboard with wires connected to a 7-segment display for showing the output. All of the counters, registers, memory, and LED outputs that are part of what make the breadboard versions so interesting to look at are completely hidden.

8-Bit Computer on a Breadboard Overview: My goal for this project was to build a better understanding of computer architecture, hardware design, and assembly level languages. Being a Junior in university studying computer engineering, I had recently completed courses on electronics, labs i…

Fourth and pre-final prototype for the Zeal 8-bit Computer. The board keeps its size of 15x10cm. It adds an MMU, replacing the former memory banking, and a Real-Time Clock powered by a 2032 battery.

Sep 15, 2018 · YouTuber Ben Eater makes incredible “simple” computers from scratch…on breadboards. His website has carefully laid out instructions of the build and links to each of the different modules. I built a programmable 8-bit computer from scratch on breadboards using only simple logic gates.
