Building a CPU out of logic gates is a great way to learn about the inner workings of microprocessors, and we’ve seen several impressive projects in this area. [c0pperdragon] set himself the task of ...

[Ben Eater] posted some videos of an 8-bit computer with no CPU chip that he built completely on a breadboard a few years ago. After being asked for schematics, he finally admitted that he didn’t have ...

Here’s the most amazing 8-bit DIY computer implemented using a bunch of simple logic chips — along with a cornucopia of flashing LEDs — mounted on a cluster of breadboards. I stand in awe. As I’ve ...

Some of the most interesting projects in computing are the "Just for fun," builds that individuals dream up. A year and a half ago, we met the Megaprocessor, a room-scale CPU implementation with each ...
