I'm not sure it that's the focus of the project. If this is his final EE project as said on the page, in my opinion the main focus of the project is to have a working proof of concept of an implementation of a X86 processor on a FPGA. He wo

I have one extra ATMega168 and I will test some of these methods but I'm not sure if you can kill one of these chips just by doing some of these methods. All I can say is that once, while programming one of these ATMegas, I accidentally swa

Great little game! I never imagined a game would be so effective to get you to learn hjkl, but makes sense, most people learn wasd by playing games too. I'm using a Macbook Air with Mac OS X Lion and Google Chrome and the gameplay is very s

I'm having a hard time believing this. Such devices would need to return land on a regular basis even if helped by solar panels. The costs of maintaining a significant number of this nodes floating would be considerable. Also the delay on t

I like your idea, I wish I had it first. Best of luck for you :)

Something like PWM? I bet Macs don't generate analog voltages to fade the LED, it would be expensive.

It seems to me that he actually coded in Assembly and then translated to 1s and 0s, and that's quite normal. I've done it for school projects, where we had a simple processor that had to be "programmed" this way. Sure I didn't have to imple

This semester I had a course where we had to implement a MIPS based processor from the ground up, with pipeline, caches, forwarding, and other techniques. I recommend starting with a basic non-pipelined MIPS processor, as it is not hard to

How is this HN front page worthy?
