Day 18
This was supposed to be an in depth look into the clock circuit but I'm reading through the material and looking over the schematics and redrawing them myself and I'm just not seeing it yet hopefully later this week I can come back to it when the relays arrive and I can build it and see it in action. This actually seems to be a problem I will be running into a lot with the hand drawn schematic photos Harry supplies on the website. I am trying to hand redraw them into a form factor more to my thinking but would prefer to get them up on Fritzing asap so I can look them over in greater detail. I also think all of these circuits will be better understood oncee they are broken down and built in the physical realm.
Problems with my sleep deprived brain aside, on the physical layout of the cabinets. Harry's design is constructed of 4 cabinets I intend to split off the Memory module to its own cabinet to allow for further expansion of the computer but more to give space to a less modern and more period appropriate form of memory in the future as well this major modification will be baked into my design but will be performed as an upgrade not part of the initial build. I am also considering adding a permanent storage form to store whole programs but that will be a considerable add on in the future but will greatly add to the functionality of the overall system.
Well today's post was something of a softball but I promise back to the salt mines on Monday where hopefully I can get back to the clock otherwise we'll be on to the next part.
