nah ... he just moved and couldnt find his legos but he did find all these bits and bobs from the old days so decided to make something with them ;)

I too enjoy color coding my notes. You should see my physics notes. Every variable and coefficient has its own color. I think its kind of like OCD, but I just like everything to be neat. I respect Ben for his use of color. My brain processes it better for some reason.

All Pilot G2's, too. Gotta say, I envy him

That he built on breadboards.

Most "students" these days are not students in the old-way, that is an apprentice to mastery within the community. If a blacksmith died his kin took up the anvil, and if they were incompetent the entire community faltered. I believe there used to be more honor and integrity associated with *mastering* your craft, instead of simply making it financially viable to commercial interest (the bare minimum). Somewhere along the line I think these two were conflated: ie degree (piece of paper) = mastery.

@@Retrofire-47 That point is when you stopped having workers be valued by their employers. If your employer only cares about how much value you can produce for them, then you stop caring about learning the deeper information for them.

I took Computer Architecture 10 years before KZfaq was a thing. 😂

did you finish your course?

@Graystripe Oh I only work with what you can do in survival. In fact, I had to look up what structure blocks even are xD

dempends on the design, but most take multiple cycles to preform any action.

It's also 2. It's like if you're adding 9+9 on paper, the answer is 8 carry the 1, but that's the same thing as 18

Vincensius A have fun with the repeaters.

+StarTrek123456 Thats why the project red mod is usefull

I presume that you've found Super Circuit Maker. If you want to do minecraft redstone, it's better with SCM.

Instant repeaters are a thing, they are fucking amazing, i have 2kB of RAM and can access any data within a few seconds

It's working fine with redstone hahaha

Though a Harvard architecture would be completely different, I think It could be done very close to as simply as this machine.

cowcannon I played a similar game

I think you're thinking of a demultiplexer, which is kind of the inverse of a priority encoder? A priority encode takes in a number of signals and e g gives you a binary number that says which was the lowest numbered one that was high. A demultiplexer takes in a binary number and pulls exactly one of its output signals high. That could indeed be very useful if you know that you only want to activate one of the loads and one of the enables, and you want a compact way to represent which one. For enable, you definitely only want to activate one at a time. For load, there are some tricks you can pull by loading the same value into several registers at the same time, I've used that in a design I did which had a multiply-adder that was fed from three registers: R = B*C + D. Every instruction was implemented in microcode that manipulated these registers to make computations, but looking at the instruction set, there was only one register, A. I let the last cycle of each instruction that updated A write its result to B, C, and D at the same time, so no matter which instruction came next, and if it needed the last result to be in B, C, or D, it would be able to find it in the right place.

@@possible-realities Nah, you've got it backwards. Priority encoders only activate one output at a time, depending on the input. While MUXes output a binary number equal to the input into whatever channel has been selected via your select pins. I was gonna post wiki links that explain how these work, and so you don't have to take my word for it, like so many commenters expect you to. But instead I'll provide links to interactive examples of each circuit presented in an analog/digital circuit simulator that runs conveniently in your browser. Then you can both not have to take my word for it, and you can play around with them and perhaps remember some stuff you may have forgotten. Or find some stuff I was mistaken about. Either way, you can't go wrong. Plus it's great software to have around: [edit] After playing around with it, I realized what I was actually talking about was a 1 of n encoder. Not a priority encoder. So I take back what I said about the priority encoder's output and just pretend I was talking about 1 of n encoders instead. You'll see what I mean in the links. So here's the 1 of n encoder that I MEANT to be talking about: tinyurl.com/yeua4a3r Here's a priority encoder, which is what I THOUGHT I was talking about: tinyurl.com/yhgrtkj2 And the only example the had for a de/mux used discrete parts, so I just threw together my own circuit using chips instead and included a MUX and DEMUX for good measure: tinyurl.com/yeaqo5kv

Gary Cunningham , I recommend go to the "videos" tab of Ben's channel and watch them in the order they were uploaded. From what I've seen, they each build on previous work in a logical manner.

It's definitely related, but I wouldn't say it's the same. Load reads the value from the input (e.g. the bus) into a register. You could say that enable writes the value in a register onto the bus, but you need to remember that the bus doesn't have any memory itself, so the value only stays on the bus for as long as the enable is high (and the value in the register driving it stays the same). Another difference is that there might be many more enable and load signals in the hardware than the kinds of reads and writes that you see at a software level, a lot of it is just needed under the hood to make things work. In software, you can speak of doing a read from memory or a write to memory. But if you're communicating over a bus, you need to both enable the source that will drive the bus and enable the load from the bus in the same cycle transfer anything. On the other hand, if you have a dedicated connection to a register, then a load signal is enough to read the incoming data.
