🏗️ 8-Bit Breadboard Computer

🧠 About

This project is my attempt to explore how computers work fundamentally at the gate level.
Inspired by the Ben Eater 8-bit computer series, I aim to design and build a fully functional 8-bit CPU from scratch.

My approach is:

  • 💻Simulation First - Each module is first prototyped and tested in simulators like Logisim Evolution or Falstad.
  • ⚙️Hardware Implementation - Once all modules are validated, I will implement them on a physical breadboard with real components.

✅ Modules Validated


💾 Programmable ROM

🔍 Module in Development and Testing phase

  • CPU Control Logic

🐞 Module in Debugging Phase

📂 Project Structure

Each module will have its own folder containing:

  • A dedicated README.md explaining design, features, and usage
  • Images of schematics, simulations, and hardware builds

🎯 Goals

  • Understand computation from the ground up
  • Document the full design and build process
  • Share schematics, notes, and experiments for others to learn from
