It has a small variety discrete 74-series | components (NAND, NOR, inverters, flipflips decoders, | multiplexers, etc), 555 timer, counters, a RAM and an EPROM, | and little else. A great start, but not what I was hoping for. | But maybe it will be some day? | colejohnson66 wrote: | The development page shows what's included.[0] As far as logic | chips go, it has a dozen or so of the most common 7400 series | ICs (with more planned), the venerable 555, and a 2K*8 EEPROM | (28C16). An HD44780-based LCD is in progress. | | [0]: https://www.crumbsim.com/development | Ancapistani wrote: | I can't believe I just bought a 3-day-old app for $8. | | Sigh. | | Looks great from the screenshots and forum posts, and I've been | meaning to dive into component-level electronics for a while. | I've tried to do so in the past and never seem to have the time | and inclination while I'm near my workbench. Here's hoping this | will let me learn enough to be able to "graduate" to the next | level, and actually create some useful things at the bench | instead of just trying to learn there. | lonelygirl15a wrote: | Imagine driving to a computer store in the late 70s or 80s, and | buying a floppy disk in a stapled plastic sandwich baggie with | some Xeroxed documentation stapled to it for $20.
