April 9, 2017 - Parts update and something new

A project log for The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name

My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This is an educational platform for me.

I have just received over 1000 1n4148 diodes and now work on IO can begin once again. I have been brain storming with the team and I have decided on a RISC instruction set for this project. However, I am not yet ready to reveal the instructions and the method of program data entry. But I will say that this is going to be a very novel way to program IO and to read the instructions. I do not want to tip my hand on this and spoil the surprise for everyone :-)
