| | This project is a little old, but now that I have some time, I thought it would be nice to write it up! The device has been serving me well for a few years now. Being somewhat red/green color blind, I've always had trouble reading through-hole resistor color codes (though I often wonder if those with full color vision have it much easier - some resistor bands are so 'muddy'!) I make do with labeled pouches holding my resistors, and a multimeter to double-check. The multimeter is so slow. Surely it shouldn't take seconds to sense a resistor value! For years I dreamt of making a faster resistor measuring device with an instant readout. The 'final straw' that pushed me to actually do that was that I bought a beautiful old metal Akro-Mils cabinet1 stuffed with o...

| The idea for the project was to take the processor we had made in a class at Tufts in the fall of 2021, synthesize it to an FPGA, write an assembler, and run a basic program on it. This included several steps, from adding new components and testing them, to debugging overall problems that come from synthesizing code which had only been simulated previously, to writing an assembler specifically targeting the processor that would output in the format necessary for execution on our design.
