Binary Calculator Highlight Round
Sam Hague and 2 OthersPatrick TibbettsBryson Guthrie
Patrick:
In this studio, we worked on building a calculator using bare-bones components, including transistors, resistors, and wires. We started off using physical components, but after some time, we realized there was going to be a bottleneck in how quickly we could work physically. So, we shifted to working in a digital environment called Logic.ly, which allowed us to progress more efficiently. By the end of the studio, we successfully created a 6-bit multiplier.
Sam:
Binary Calculator is a calculator made out of transistors and wires, so that we could learn more about computing and so that we could teach people about computing at its basic levels. In the scope of the project, we were able to build a 2-bit full adder physically and a 6-bit multiplier digitally. We built the full adder using two XOR gates, two AND gates, and an OR gate. The multiplier was built with mostly AND gates as well as a full adder.
