Big Mess o’ Wires


An 8-bit home-built CPU

Happy Birthday BMOW!

Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of the first BMOW journal entry, which described the CPU architecture design that I’d worked out on paper. The planning phase grew from there, and lasted several months. The first wires in what would become BMOW weren’t connected until March 9, but it was only a month more past then until the first successful run of a fibonacci program on the hardware. I guess planning pays off!
