How do you plan on using it, or cooling it once it is complete?

im just gonna venture to guess that this won't be dissipating enough power to need more than ambient cooling

it dont need cooling lmao

Yeah it runs on a 9v battery atm.

Unfortunately the decoder chips I got invert their output. I hate how so many chips have their inputs inverted for some reason. Now even if I buy extra inverters I still won't be able to fit my step counter on one breadboard.

wow, that's really cool! i always love building little breadboard projects

May i ask where did you get the components? I might be interested

[cooolguy32]

this is kickass

[DrenDran]

I test out my RAM chip!

Mostly from Mouser Electronics though I didn't shop around much.


edit:
Here's the memory bus:

but will it run arma 3

but does it blend?

Good stuff

[NotBomberguy]

can it run crysis on ultra
