virtualagc VS ArduinoCore-avr

I don't think that's a great example.

For instance, I can step through and even modify that code using tooling like AGC emulators like this one http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/#gsc.tab=0

What makes it open source is access to the same level of source access that the original developers worked in.

That's what's missing here. Mistral's engineers do not simply open this binary in their editor to do their job.

Glad you're enjoying the videos! I'm Mike from them. :) The Apollo 14 code I linked above was reconstructed in the same way as Luminary 69/2, but the process was far, far too involved for a video. Like I said above, I probably won't be much help with math, but I'd be more than happy to assist with finding documentation or navigating AGC code whenever you want!

The fact that all the information about the computer and software is public and you can verify it yourself like thousands of people have. https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/

If you’re curious about the the technical specs of the AGC check out Ron Burkey’s website, it’s even got the source code for you to see for yourself: https://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/

Of course you should be able to tell us because all the hardware architecture and software can be found here. So you must have fully reviewed it and located the issues. Right? Than please point out where the error is.

It had manually encoded ROM in the form of "core rope memory", which is pretty wacky, but it was a digital computer. In fact, it was the first IC computer.

You can learn way too much about it and even operate (a simulation of) one here: http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/

Gotta pick some project that matters to you and do it. Putting Python code into production with multi-person teams is outright maddening, but for the individual who wants to put their skills on wheels, Python is a great place to start.

Another fun thing to try is

https://www.arduino.cc/

I got started with that buying an Arduino and a breadboard and a handful of 74xx logic chips and I started writing Arduino programs that would generate inputs to the 74xx chips and verify the expected outputs and thus taught myself C coding for the Arduino and how to make circuits with discrete logic at the same time.

Check out existing implementations like Arduino: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr/blob/master/libraries/SPI/src/SPI.h

you can always just use an ide but i use this one on my old chrome book https://www.arduino.cc/

You'll also need the avr C library and the Arduino library, and possibly a Makefile or similar to corral the compilation process

Ya for $25 you either want 4-5 clones, or support the official Italian Arduino makers as thanks for making the entire ecosystem possible by buying one of their own boards from https://www.arduino.cc/

It depends what exactly is she into. For electronics you can check out arduino. They sell full kits with everything you need - some components like leds, breadboard so you can create circuits without soldering and a small 8bit computer to control everything with. AFAIK they also sell kits specifically for education starting with middle school.

They are in via Arduino. ;-)
