I realize that not too many people are going to make a physical KENBAK-1 reproduction, but I really want people to experience Bob Blankenbaker's creation should they desire to. So, I created a simulator that is integrated into my KENBAK-2/5 IDE. Not much to say here. The simulator appears as a pop-up window when you click the Console button.

Here is a demonstration of the console simulator running my Fibonacci program written in KENBAK-1 assembler.

I have added a new script KENBAK_IDE_With_Console.py to my GitHub repository as I didn't want to alter the non Console version until I have done more testing. I'll combine the two in a bit. This script also requires the Front Panel Text Colored.png image.

Update 07/08/2021: I have integrate the Console into the main script now and created a release.
