A project log for Trinity

A ternary LISP machine

I was digging through my parts bin today to find some MOSFETs to play with. It turns out I've got nothing! I did find an old project of mine to get sidetracked with, the DekaBoard. This was my attempt to create an FPGA development board for multimedia. Just as I finished it I got a new job and never really had time to do more with it. Maybe I'll get a version of Trinity running on it.

I think I'll use a DekaBoard for USB keyboard/mice input and DVI output in the final build. One drawback to the Dekaboard is the lack of I/Os. It was always intended to use high speed serial I/O - but I could always build a shift register breakout board for this. I'll have to level shift the trinary logic levels anyways.


On an unrelated note, the dreary weather outside has inspired me to create a sinister looking Logo for the machine. I think it will look sharp on it's front panel.

I was thinking it would only be a LISP interpreter.  Unfortunately this project has been stalled, I've been working on some other projects lately.
