This semester, I have taken an interest in my Computer Logic Design course. I spent a few hundred dollars at Radio Shack before I realized how cheap it was to order these things from other countries. I have purchase a simple bread board, several basic logic gates (and, or, nand, nor, xor, xnor, etc), a few dozen LEDs, some switches, wires, and various other miscellaneous items.
Originally, my goal was to create a binary clock over Thanksgiving break. This task was easily accomplished in an hour. I've set my goals a little higher now. I ordered ten 8x8 LED matrices and ten LED logic IC's. MAX7219 is the chip I am planning on using. As soon as these items arrive I am going to take a shot at building a Tetris game using 6 of the matrices aligned to build a 16 x 24 grid. The board will be 10x20 and I'll use the extra space to display scores. I will be using the Arduino Uno as my main micro controller. However, I don't think I will have enough I/O switches on a single board so I am planning on getting a second Arduino chip to control the remaining LEDs.
C'mon China chips, get here soon.
The fact that you did this a year ago still freaks me out. What are you doing now? Did those other translations help you?
ReplyDeleteIt was a really fun project... maybe I'll set it up again and take some pictures. Those translations were really good. I've been using Young's Literal Translation. I've read the Torah in the ESV, KJV, and YLT. I just started my new job so I don't know if I'll read a ton more this summer but I really want to get through the whole book.
