Hello

My name is Pardeep Sachdeva...basically a mechanical engineer...because of interest in electronics and computers....started reading the book...The elements of computing system...

Since my backgound is not electronics or computer science...so will be need support from the forum and its members from time to time....Hopefully I will get it and on the way of understanding this book....will make some good friends as well...

Best Regards

Pardeep

Welcome to Nand2Tetris and congratulations on project 1. It's great to see non-traditional students working on the course. We'll give you lots of support.

Thank you Mark...

I managed to complete Project 2 as well...I had to create additional chips for Or16Way opertion and to find negative numbers...

Looks like now the difficult bit starts from Project 3...

Sequential circuits make you think a bit differently. It might help to think of the clock as a periodic event, rather than a logic signal.

The book presents sequential circuits as "what happens now depends on the previous state". Some people do better thinking "what happens next depends on the present state".

Note: if you made a chip to detect negative numbers, you may have missed the fact that you can have multiple out= connections on a chip.  See Appendix A.5.3.  You will want this ability for project 3.
