It may not look like it, but the fact that these lights are on means that my breadboard computer will work, in theory

    When you put it on a breadboard, connect it up and power it up, there is no 'working in theory' anymore. It either works or it doesn't. So I'm guessing your setup works. Congratulations. 🙂

    @rendezvous it's such a fun thing to learn, and honestly not as hard as it may seem at first
    There's a great website called z80.info, which has loads of resources for making a z80 computer
    Also the z80 datasheet itself is probably the most useful document

    Check out Ben Eater on YouTube. He walks you through step by step how to build and program an 8bit computer. You can even buy the kit from his site. I'm planning on doing it during Christmas.

    @irene Incorrect means it does not work by definition.

    @irene Okay. To me, there are only two things: it either works or it doesn't. I will agree to disagree. 🙂🙂

    I've been re-watching the Ben Eater's 8 bit breadboard computer series lately. I've wanted to try to build one myself since then :D

    @-red how can you know that it works as expected in all corner cases and does so also one second in the future?

    @electrineer Don't you think about the corner cases during design ?

    That cpu isnt fully functional yet.
    The fully functional one needs more ic's

    Everything is easy to build. You just have to spend the time to study it.
