4 bit adder. Took me a few evenings this week to put together. Im quite happy that it worked first try without any bugs. Constructive criticism is encouraged.

    Looks great! It looks like you might have watched my video :)

    Not knowing the schematic, is there a specific reason you have those yellow traces broken out to the left? Looks like you could have done them single wires.

      De obfuscation and pin hole crowding. I was struggling to fit the wires and see my pin holes so I moved the 4 wires that would have been on top of eachother over to make room for the rest of the wiring.

      Thanks. Keeping the wireing neat allowed me to walk away and pick it up again without losing what i was doing. It also helped me get it so the first time I powered the circuit it worked as intended.

        Absolutely. I always found it satisfying to route wires and avoid the rat’s nest.

        Adders are the foundation of electronics. Are you going to continue on this project or start a new one? 7-segment display?

          Going to ponder my next project. I want to make a counting circuit. Basically just a bank of adders on a clock signal putting the output into memory then feeing that number back into the bank and add 1.
