I have been thinking about potentially making a computer (no guarantee) but for the ram I would do 8 bit storage which isn’t much of a issue until you consider how 8 bits are required to make one byte and a computer has a ton of bytes open to use Either for ram or memory, i have made somewhat of a system to store 10 bytes (80 bits) but it is a pain to get 8 bits with 5 bit in/bit out which is why it would be nice if you could add 8 bit in/bit out (or more).

This would also make it easier to have the potential computer write to certain parts of ram ( so you don’t necessarily have to color code)
jagged apex
Also I am now working on a pc it has a simple display that is stored with mem and it should have controlled refresh rates
Hooray
It’s a pain in the but to design but I got a good idea of what it will be
jagged apex
Update before I go to sleep it stores 8 bit numbers first 4 bits is displayed other 4 bits in order halt reset jump controller halt stops reset restarts jump jumps to the line the first 4 bits represent controller checks for user input
Might just do halt and reset
jagged apex
progress so far just deciding how i will do ram eithere redo it or try and make this work

Oh yh that RAM is very inefficient
I am rn planning to do the same that you are doing but on a much larger scale
jagged apex
I was planning the same prob 1 kilobyte no real idea tho I will decide based on system but I think I have on currently that would work
jagged apex
First gen is 8 byte and I got the read/write address working just gota add encoding and decoding along with that display
pearl forge
And for how much RAM is that?
Btw, do you actually know how to make a computer?
seeing as you have the simple logic engine as a pfp
in which a computer ain't possible
jagged apex
This is just 8 bytes but in Theory expandable to 64 might make the ram store 16 bits but that depends on what I want to make
pearl forge
The design still seems far from being efficient
and not that good for expending beyond the 64 bytes
jagged apex
what i have made can be considered ram and a control unit due to it decoding the input and output for the future alu/cpu

@jagged apex how did transfer decimal to binary with the binary outputs?
jagged apex
I used binary in with 8 inputs each going into a bit in output scaled then to a relay where you select where it saves to the reading data then transferring back into binary

how diod you do 8 bits with bit in/out only has up to 5 bits

You just want to join the testing server and see

sure

You just want to join the testing server and see
Can i join the testing server sorry if I am gonning to waste your time
cedar olive
/testing is the command

@jagged apex i taught my logic nerd friend the method
get ready for what's coming
big collab soon

I have a friend foxxo, he is also making a computer but rn he is waiting for update as in some update numsplit logic is coming. I hope you meet him so you two can share ideas
cedar olive
The design still seems far from being efficient
do you have an efficient ram design
@spring meadow
sorry just linking him to this thread

this guy has someone that u can prob do stuff with
spring meadow
oh
coral blade
do you have an efficient ram design
And does the computer have ram only or a storage system
And is the ram slow bc their are individual bits
