@ApolloWasReal I use a nice DIN mounted industrial automation power supply, 24V @ 10 amps. The maximum current draw is about 6 amps, when more or less all LEDs are on .
@nablaman Cool. Why does the expression "stone knives and bearskins" keep coming to mind? Have you considered building a computer from vacuum tubes? It would be faster -- not counting tube replacement time.
What does it use for a clock? I hear ticking in the back, and I can't tell if you hard-hacked an actual clock into it (crazy stupid, but hugely leet) or if it's a relay ticking every half-second.

@ptagliamonte Clock in computing terms is the same as an oscillator, i.e. something that provides the beats that synchronizes the machine. The pulses comes from a digital ocillator right now, which then goes into a relay circuit that breaks it up into subpulses. That's the sound you hear.
@nablaman You should take an oldschool alarm clock and hack it so that it works as a 1hz oscillator, then light it up with LEDs (bonus points if it has glow-in-the dark hands and you light it up with UV LEDs)
When the sun spots reach critical mass, and they blow all the semiconductor computers into useless silicon, Zusie will still be running, computing trajectories for attacks on raiding forces.
@TheElectricnoob Ett antal tusen har det väl kostat, men jag har hållt på från och till i två år med projektet, och då blir det ju inte så farligt om man slår ut det. Reläna kostade ca 2000 kr hos en skrothandlare. Och kopplandet är ju en del av det roliga :) Är säkert uppe i nån kilometer tråd på undersidan av korten :)
I have not seen that many ide cables since the 80's, and I was not even alive then!

What's the power supply? How much current does it draw?

Really a great work. Grats. But let me guess, the result of the calculations it is performing is 42 !?

@ITGuru0111 It uses 4PDT and 6PDT 24V relays from scrapped telephone exchange boards, probably manufacured in the late 70's

That laptop - is it acting as a proper terminal, displaying Zusie's output over serial?
bibinson 1 year ago
@bibinson The laptop is used both to upload program to Zusie and optionally display output. It's connected via the parallel port.
