A cardboard relay for IO - March 21, 2018

A project log for The Cardboard Computer - IO is my name

My goal is a 4-bit CPU using recycled cardboard substrate and Diode Transistor Logic. This is an educational platform for me.

Here is the second version of the Uglytech relay. I will try this for signal isolation to the typewriter/printer. Still needs work but getting better at this...

This video shows that the relay does work with both IO and the printer Note the screw and nut added to adjust gap.

While playing with various voltage/current levels, I found that I needed to make the throw adjustable :-)

  Are you sure? yes | no
