WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - LordDecapo - 03-12-2015

Yo, so I am curious... so imma start a thread here...

Post here what your first CPU build was like and if it even worked (mine certainly didnt, it was beyond terrible)

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - LordDecapo - 03-12-2015

I'll start, my first CPU was planned to be a beefed up calculator.. but the problem was.. I had all my ALUs, registers, display, inputs... but how the hell do I control it?
ended up making like 6 PROMs, one feeding into another, feeding into another, into another etc.. in order to control everything... never finished as the clock I estimated to be about 80 ticks,

went to try a quad "core" better but still cap and overly huge and slow..

Then started a project that became to be called SexiButterfly (now evolved to the IizR you all know I work on now)

So ya what kinda old CPU builds did everyone start with?

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - Legofreak - 03-12-2015

well i'm currently working on my first CPU so I'll find some other first...

(digging through photobucket)

First ever redstone image upload... I think I was making some sort of shift register for a combo lock. it was before comparators and I didn't even know how to make a proper monostable.

My first CPU couldn't have been built without the help and guidance of voltzlive :3 It wasn't bad for being my first CPU, granted, it didn't really have any way of dealing with flags.

Its on my 2x1 main plot with the cool floor.

My first CPU, built over 3 years ago according to the date of this screenshot (wow that long ago).

It actually worked pretty well, though it wasn't very fast or powerful.

It's probably about as nooby as you get, with a RCA mickey-mouse xor (you know the one I'm talking about) ALU. 4 bits, 8 registers, with ALU A and B input registers. Its controlled by goto lines in the program memory and has conditional branching. It also has two different program slots because reasons.

Most interesting thing I did on it was multiply by repeated addition.

Awesome firsts Big Grin

Rek, I'll post a picture of my very first calculator that only added and subbed in decimal. It was purely shift register based.... superisingly wasnt that slow (took between 12 and 40 ticks, lol what is this 'sync' word u mention? No idea! Lol) .. could work on 0-99 but inputting numbers was a hassle. (pressed buttons x amount of times for a given x value in a tens or 1s place.)

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - LordDecapo - 03-16-2015

And wow, to think CPUs in MC have been around as long as they have, it's quite impressive. Esspecially with the speed and size improvements over time

Peaceofshit1.0 is still floating loud and proud above my plot.

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - martin of redwall - 03-16-2015

how do you guys post those pictures i took a picture of mine but he attachment is to big. a lso your guys pictures are in the comment not as an attachment how do i do that.

Click the picture of mountain and sun, then paste an Imgur link to ur picture.
I will take some next time I'm on my xbox..
although I should post some pics of IizR14 on,that thread lol, I haven't yet

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - martin of redwall - 03-16-2015

it wants a URL what do i do for that? i just took a picture with my ipod of the screen.

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - LordDecapo - 03-16-2015

Upload it to imgur, get link from there. Use the "direct image link" which should end in a .jpg. png or other image formats

RE: WHAT ABOUT YOU? :D - fuirippu - 03-16-2015

^Yes, use one of the BBCode choices from imgur.

BBCode should show the picture, Linked BBCode should show the picture but also make it a clickable link (taking the reader to imgur).

ok that worked. wow that picture is a little grainy hope thats ok
this is my first "CPU". it has 6 bit ALU, 3 RAM slots, 6 bit PROM, and 6 registers (which are kind of useless). can add and subtract. has two output and a "USB" (im sure there is a better term for what is actually is). no programming except for the prom. you have to manually select every procedure to get an output, and there is no display because that is out of my reach as far as how to do it. and ignore the thing to the left its not part of the "CPU."
the name of it is: "starburst 1.0" i have a 2.0 that i'm currently working on.
this is the input panel

^w00t ! It works !!!
Maybe has an extra img tag in there? But who cares when they can see the picture?

BTW: I dig the quote in your sig, but you do know that the source (Dijkstra) is disputed?

no i did not know that i just googled computer science quotes and i liked that one. and ill upload a picture of its input panel.
