A couple of changes

A project log for Tetra - 4-bit CPU

Experiment to create a minimal 4-bit CPU that can do something fun

I made a couple of changes:

spg 3     ; set page register to 3
pga       ; move accumulator value to page register
out 5     ; set output register to 5
out       ; move accumulator value to output register

These changes will add some functionality while simplifying the instruction decoding - always nice when that happens!

To make this diagram I tried using Digikey's online schematic tool. The end result isn't too bad but it's not particularly nice to use. If anyone has any good suggestions for tools for making this kind of block diagram, please let me know!

Hi @Kyle McInnes, I like inkscape (https://inkscape.org/). It's good for making block diagrams, but it takes a little learning to get started!

Inkscape extension to assist creating logic circuits symbols:
