Relay Computer prints Fibonacci at the Montreal VCF!
Watch my homebrew relay computer print Fibonacci numbers on a vintage teletype at the Montreal Vintage Computer Festival! In this episode, I troubleshoot a tricky sequencer halt bug, add a hard reset circuit, and implement a new PRT instruction that lets the relay computer output real numeric data to a teletype via an Arduino interface. The result is a fully electromechanical computer producing live output on the VCF show floor. If you enjoy relay logic, vintage computing, and hands-on retro engineering, this one’s for you. 💡 Join the crew on Patreon for exclusive content, early access, and insider perks — and help keep retro computing alive! / dipdot Thanks for watching, and as always I welcome any feedback or ideas for future projects!
