Day 11
Yesterday I ordered the first sets of relays Relay 1 and Relay 2 I am trying both as Relay 1 is almost certainly the right relay that I want but relay 2 is $0.21 cheaper and in a larger lot sale which may allow for an even further reduced per unit price. My only worry is that relay 2 is not the correct part as it seems it may also have the terminal base which would make prototyping and testing much easier, we shall see in a few weeks when they all arrive. With 30 relays on order the game plan is to start building some test rigs and proof of concepts first in line will be a limited function of the adder and function output of the ALU and/or perhaps a clock circuit.
I have also spent a fair amount of time looking into building out these schematics on Fritzing and have hit a bit of a wall with my inability to use illustrator or a similar program but am working on it. Instead I have been hand drawing the circuits I have discussed here to get a more tactile feel for them and how they will connect to the overall design. Pictures of this work as well as custom Fritzing part files to come.
