8-bit Workbench™

At its core, there is an annotated binary LED-display of 8 bits (one byte). Depending on the type of data, the three most significant bits can be turned off using DIP-switches. Aligned above the bits, two digits show the hex (or octal) representation of it. The board can be powered through a mini USB connector, switch to a custom supply when the +12V and -12V rails are needed as well.

A clicky Digitast Action-button provides a properly debounced signal to use with microprocessors or TTL logic. The extension interface exposes the data bus, action-out and clock-input. When needed, the latter two can be inverted on the board. Mix functionality with extension boards or design your own using our KiCad Template!

Extend and combine this 8-bit Workbench™ with our other kits to learn and do (vintage) computer experiments. Like the Super Breadboard 2 or Binary Keyboard (as shown in the first picture). Visit our store to get more information on those products.
