The Demon has been Exorcised!

The eureka moment was actually slightly earlier. Zach hit on a problem that we could have caught when we were shortening signals that stayed high for too long. A stray signal went high when it shouldn't have, causing the problem!

Zach noticed it after I figured out how to use the simulator as a debugging tool (it tells you the contents of each register after each instruction). Once the signal was dropped, everything was fine in simulation.

We went to lab and...tada! We smiled, showed the small crowd in lab still working what a working processor should output, and left. On the way back, we celebrated and enjoyed the happiness of being done.

I then got the assignment uploaded; the demo won't be until Friday, but you must demo what you upload before 10 AM on Monday. Now that its done, time to wander around section, very happy, before passing out from exhaustion...
