Relay Computer Project
A 16-bit electromechanical computer project with hardware documentation, a browser simulator, and a purpose-built BASIC compiler.
- For
- Computer-architecture enthusiasts, hardware builders, and compiler programmers
- Worth noticing
- The studio describes cycle-accurate traces, contact-click audio, register monitors, and live oscilloscope timing.
Field notes
The homepage separates the work into a physical machine, Clack Studio, and Clack-BASIC, with hardware documentation and a blog linked alongside the browser lab. The simulator is described as cycle-accurate, with step execution, register monitoring, circuit traces, contact-click audio, and oscilloscope timing; the compiler is described as handling register spilling, variable mapping, and hardware jump mechanics. The page credits Peter Prikasky for hardware and Christian Buchhas for software.
