8-Bit Computer Build

Project Overview

This project involved building an 8-bit computer from scratch, following principles and techniques inspired by Ben Eater's designs. The goal was to understand computer architecture, logic gates, binary arithmetic, and memory circuits.

Key Components

Core modules include the clock circuit, registers, arithmetic logic unit (ALU), and memory. Each component is wired and tested individually before integration.

Building Progress

The build process was carried out in stages, each focusing on a core component. Challenges included timing issues with the clock module, debugging the ALU operations, and ensuring stable memory read/write processes.
