Crossed signals

Grumble, grumble. I was up until 3 AM last night chasing a bug around the processor. The thing seemed to be unable to check if two numbers were equal. After throwing in the towel and going to shower, I thought of one more place to look. Turns out two signals were crossed: isLessThan and isEqual. So when two numbers were equal, that signal went out to the isLessThan line. As soon as I uncrossed those, everything started to work. ... until the next thing failed.

Some time later

The last bits of it just fell into place. A few signals had to be pulled to the right places and voila! The thing can add, subtract, jump around...it works! Next stop is to get it running on a demo board.

As soon as that is done, its off to the next project(s): SMS-TV controller tomorrow until a meeting for the remote light dimmer at about 2 PM. The projects never stop! Somewhere in there, my math homework needs to get done for tomorrow morning. Ah well, I'm sure it will happen. I managed to watch Lost during the "some time later" section. It was the "Meet Kevin Johnson" episode and it was amazing! It was also refreshing to not being staring at the processor after being up so late working on it.

So, now its class then relaxation (I think) until demo board time in lab.
