turing

[DragonFire]

K, Well here is my problem..I have this class that I am not very good at...and well I need your help! if anyone has any knowledge of the program called "turing" I would greatly appreciate your help...

K so this is the description for my project:

Build an eight-bit LED peripheral

(a) the user inputs any integer between 0 and 255
(B) the number is displayed on the LEDs.
© The number is displayed on a GUI
(d) The binary equivalent is displayed on the GUI
(e) The hexadecimal equivalent is displayed beside the binary equivalent.
(f) A second number is input and parts (B) through (e) are repeated.
(g) The sum is displayed and parts (B) through (e) are repeated.

Please help! I really have no Idea what I am doing.

Are u allowed to use any chips that u want? Ive just built something a bit like this using LED's

[DragonFire]

Ya, I can use them.

Well, Class is over..If anyone can help that's cool..I will check back later.

Use standard seven segment displays, then theres various counters u can use ie decade counters or decade/binary u will have to put 220 Ohm resistors in to create a voltage drop.

lol turing :P I didnt know people still learned that useless language. I dont think you are doing anything physical right? Its all software based right? (I didnt really read the program cuz i havent done turing in like 7-8 years lol)

[festo]

You mean coding it?

[TunaFishyMe]

yea i thought the project was all coding ...lol thats the word

[phantomlink]

I've done stuff like that before, but it was with VB and C++ instead of whatever Turing is.

And ya, I believe it's all just coding unless he's sending the data to an actual LED display

[TunaFishyMe]

To be honest, I didnt even know Turing had a GUI

[DragonFire]

Thanks for the help guys, I got some one of my cousins to help me out...(he is really good with turing)..

[festo]

Can u explain what turing is please, im intrigued.

[DragonFire]

it's an old programming language (Even though my school is basically brand new we still use old shit)

[TunaFishyMe]

Its a really old programmign language that no one uses lol. It was te first language i learned but I forgot it. But i guess it teaches the basic and everything and all languages are the same anyways.

Festo...do you know VHDL/Verilog?
IF Yes, Did you learn it in 3rd/4th year?
What are the requirements for PEng in England (or whereever you are from)? Just a Ethics tests after 4 years working under a PEng?
