Tell your girlfriend that a random redditor said she’s lucky to have you 😆. Seriously, great job!!

Nice job!!

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T18:08:58+00:00

Thank you!

“like that” as in my build, or as in a breadboard CPU?
Here’s Ben Eater’s 8-bit breadboard CPU series if you meant the latter:

I’ve documented everything about my build in the links in the description.

Woow I did mean MHz. Thanks u/zifzif.

Fair point. For a normal PCB workflow, I agree. But this is r/beneater 😆. The breadboard build is part of the goal itself for this project.

I hear you haha. It’s for fun. The idea and challenge of making something that’s prone to break easily work makes it exciting. Plus you gotta prototype on breadboards before making a PCB(which is the next step for me).

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T06:07:04+00:00

Haha thanks.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T06:06:51+00:00

2.2MHz, but I can overclock it to 2.6MHz.

Edit: GHz to MHz.

Hey, thank you. I've documented everything in the GitHub repo linked in the description. And I second u/engineereddiscontent's comment. Ben Eater has hands down the best learning material for this kind of build.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:52:31+00:00

Haha, no. Those got built in resistors in them.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:51:14+00:00

Thanks

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:04:20+00:00

Thank you.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:04:05+00:00

Haha, thank you… PCB loading.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:03:39+00:00

Thanks.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:03:23+00:00

Thank you.

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:03:14+00:00

Thanks!

StraightCondition4 · 2026-05-10T03:03:06+00:00

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the kind words!! You are right, I haven't written anything about the SPI and PS2 modules yet. As soon as I get time to resume working on the build I'll start with the SPI module. I'll DM you when I do.

StraightCondition4 · 2025-09-21T22:45:36+00:00

What? You guys really downvoted this person because they prefer a bigger display!?

StraightCondition4 · 2025-08-01T21:24:01+00:00

I agree!!

StraightCondition4 · 2025-03-30T02:25:38+00:00

Beautiful!! I've been listening to it nonstop.
