Second interim report

[JamesGlanville]

I'm going to try and get mine done soon, I'm a little unclear about how it should be structured - does it need to be a proper report with intro,conclusion etc, or do we just bundle the software listings/test definition files/alterations/circuit diagrams/user guide as listed on p8 of the handout?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what circuits to do? I'm happy to do all of the definition files and diagrams as we're allowed to submit the same ones. I was thinking:

shift register to show dtype: http://www.softwareforeducation.com/wikileki/images/b/bb/D_Type_Flip_Flop_Shift_Register.gif

nand and nor gates are universal, so I wondered about making some other gates with them, then using other gates to compare the outputs of a real XOR (for example) and a XOR made from NAND, to verify that the outputs are always the same, using switches to vary the inputs.

Yeah those circuits seem fine. I'm not quite sure on the report, maybe one to ask on Tuesday? Though I don't think it'll need to have full intro, method, conclusions etc.

Ok cool I'll ask. I've added the 2 definition files and schematics, hope they're ok.

Just to check, I assume you're going to include the source code modifications in your report James?

[JamesGlanville]

Yeah I guess so, I can't really remember what modifications I've made, I'll do a diff with the first git commit with the unmodified sources, but I don't know whether tiny changes count as worthwhile modifications.
