Having a #3dprinter and some basic construction skills means it is easy to repair stuff instead of it going in the trash. One of the front suspension struts on one of my step son's RC cars broke, and using Fusion I was able to design a replacement and print it on my @bambulabglobal.bsky.social A1

Some more progress on my electronics project, to build a 8 bit breadboard computer from scratch using discrete chips: Reset synchronizer circuit to hold reset active for 4 clock cycles and synchronize reset release with clock, made with four D-type flip flops.

First part of my breadboard computer build done, a clock module without any 555 timers, which is usually used for these Ben Eater inspire build. vegardmakes.com/electronics/...

Single stepping done. Used a schmitt triggered NAND gate instead of an inverter to lower the final chip count of the clock circuit, as I need NAND gates for other parts of the clock circuit

First baby steps towards my Ben Eater inspired breadboard computer, my first real electronics project. Working on switch debouncing for clock single stepping. Next step is adding a schmitt triggered inverter to get a nice square transition.
