DIY Intel 8008 clock

Filed under: Uncategorized — Greg Lipscomb on October 5, 2006 @ 4:32 pm



Here is a very impressive DIY project that Len sent to me. Warning, it is not for the faint of heart.

About every year I design and build a new clock. This year’s project is a clock based on an Intel 8008 first generation 8 bit microprocessor. Because it is a fairly unique project I’m putting more effort into the documentation. I’m also totally opening the design, hardware and software, to anyone wanting to learn more about the 8008. The only requirement I have is this: if you copy or reproduce my information please give me the credit. I spent a good amount of time and effort designing and building the 8008 clock prototype. I’ve also tried to do this when I’ve used other’s information. If you see something on my site where proper credit has not been given, let me know.
