FIrst Board Layed Out and received from OSH Park

A project log for SAP 1 Computer on Printed Circuit Boards

Inspired by the video series by Ben Eater, I am developing a set of printed circuit boards for the simple as possible computer.

Over the course of the last couple of months, I've been laying out the first of two boards for this computer.  The first board will hold the following:

I plan board two to contain:

The second board will have an external connector so that you can extend the W Bus and Control signals to a breadboard.

I already received the first board and started to assemble and test it.  I am logging and video logging my progress as well as challenges and solutions.  This project is very much a learning process for me as Ben Eater has done things with the electronics in his videos that I have not previously considered.  So, I'm eager to see how well this all translates to printed circuit boards.
