Tekro,

I am in a class where we have to design our on "computer", basically it is programing at the electical level, 1 is high voltage, 0 is low voltage. From there you have to use logic gates (NAND, AND, OR, XOR, blah,blah) and all sort of other integrated circuits (we actually had to make a NAND gate out of transistors, it took up all of our bread board, makes you realy glad that there are integrated cirtcuits.

Right now in the class, we have to design how our groups are going to make our computers, 3 people in each group, each group has their own design. At this basic level you have "hardcode" the controls into the computer, basically like the signals that the program sends to manipualtedata.

say1000000 was Move D, then you would have to figure out a way to make it so that every time that signal was sent it would move D.

The class at my college is called Digital Electronics, but at most Universities it is a part of the Electric Engineering major.

You want to know anything else, I'll tell you what I know, that is all I can do,
