For this example let us imagine that each cell can only contain either a "0" or a"1". Now imagine that each cell of this film strip can contain only one of a defined set of symbols (like an alphabet). To visualize the operation of such a machine you first have to imagine a film strip spanning infinitely in each direction. What is a Turing Machine? A Turing Machine consists of 4 parts: the tape, head, table and state register. Every computer that we use today, from the computer or cell phone that you are reading this on to supercomputers all can be classified as a Turing Machine at their most simplistic level. He described a machine that was termed the Turing Machine. The actual definition of a computer was thought up by a very intelligent individual by the name of Alan Turing. Computers have existed a lot longer than the transistor in mechanical and theoretical form. This may seem like a very simplistic question that does not need answering when, in fact, it is a question that many people do not know the true answer to.

For this project you will need: 1.) A power supply 2.) Breadboards + lots of wires 3.) LED's for output 4.) Various logic IC's (discussed later) 5.) Free time 6.) A willingness to mess up and learn from mistakes 7.) A lot of patience Optional (but very useful): 1.) Oscilloscope 2.) Digital multimeter 3.) EEPROM programmer 4.) Sonic screwdriver Useful Links for a Project Like This: Digital Computer Electronics: TTL Cookbook: I hope that you all enjoy and get something out of a build like this, I know that I sure did. If you already have a sound understanding of boolean logic and the workings of binary feel free to skip to the meat of the project. This is because there are many ways to approach this project. This project also leaves many of the design aspects of the computer up to you and serves as a guide for building your own computer.
This means that the end product of this Instructable will be a computer that you can program with a unique instruction set. Lastly we will then move onto the function of the various parts of a simple-as-possible computer (with a few modifications) as described in Malvino's text Digital Computer Electronics. After that, the fundamentals of binary and boolean logic will be described. This project will start off by describing the basics of electronics. Don't be afraid to try, you can only learn. This project is intended to help anyone interested in building their own computer and gaining the wonderful knowledge that comes along with the process. When it comes down to it, a CPU is fairly simple in operation once you learn the fundamentals behind all of its processes. Building an 8-bit TTL computer sounds like a daunting and complicated task, or at least it did to me when I started out on my journey to understand the architecture of a basic CPU.
