Make:

whoopdedoo. thats one of the first projects in any digital design class

ncients - this isn't a digital design class, it's the MAKE magazine blog filled with projects, hacks, mods and things makers send us. can you send in some projects that are more on WOAH vs whoopdedoo scale? we'll post them--

ncients - Be nice :) For those of us who haven't taken "any digital design class", this is pretty damn nifty.

Cool. With making comes understanding.

I have to add that I am simply amazed and this is exactly the reason I am an avid MAKE:Blog reader and happy MAKE magazine subscriber. This is a great project and one that I have long thought about. I never took a silly little class that included this type of thing in all my 3 BS degrees (in technology fields) and I love to see it here.

PLEASE keep this sort of thing coming and ignore the detractors. I am impressed and inspired. This is why I come here. I can only say: "Nice work ad great post!"

I am really not trying to bash ncients - If you have better projects, please post them! We can all benefit from the expertise and experiments of one another. If I am not confused, that's what we're all doing here. I hope to send in a few projects of my own soon - but now I worry that they might be too "simple" for some of you. But that will not stop me from sharing - I'm too proud in my goofy work to be that shy.

Once again - VERY nice work and thank you for sharing Viktor!

I must say; I'm impressed.

We designed our 4-bit CPU in my digital design class on an FPGA (luckily)... I would have dreaded having to wire it up out of discrete logic. Ick.

Of course, we had to design the ALU as well, which was a pain.
