This is all it took to get subtraction working (lol). Can you tell I ran out of wires and resorted to some truly cursed creations? Also yes that is the Flags register just sort of hanging there resting on the wire nest.

I have birthed AGI, a superintelligence capable of …. counting veeeeery slowly to 255. It will run a lot faster once I get some more parts in the mail I swear. Then it’s only a matter of time until the singularity.

Executing random garbage from RAM leads to some fun patterns! Next just need to actually program something useful into it! And then probably hours of troubleshooting haha :(

RAM is so expensive right now even a 0GB set is $75 lol a.co/d/3ylZPUf

This is really bad. I hope Adafruit can figure out how to operate in this garbage environment

Deciding to start up Fusion360 is a serious time commitment. Also once it’s open, deciding to close it means you are really, definitely, 100% sure that you’re done

The annual weeding of the weeds 🌱

I use my phone a lot, and I use my laptop a lot. My iPad does nothing ever and basically sits on the shelf with a run down battery all the time. Maybe it’s not for me? Or maybe I’m using it wrong…

My 8-Bit Adder demonstrator thing looks great but the DIP switches are baaaackwarrrrrdddssssss (LSB on the left).

Not a fatal flaw but the input is backwards from the output. Not great for a demonstrator…so I think I might just redo it 😭

Careless mistakes cost money!

I'm doing the thing that many nerds eventually do and building my own computer from the ground up with logic gates 😅.

I had no idea flangeless LEDs existed! TIL

Just various little ESP32-C3 gadgets!

Very smol UPS for very smol circuits :) 350mAh, charges with USB-C.

It’s easier than you think!

Latest dev board for the ESP32-C3-WROOM, tried to make it small as possible while still including all the things needed to start it up + USB-C and LEDs (naturally)

Busy busy!!
