Purpose

To construct a working computer with a basic CPU, memory, input, and output

CPU
- using integrated circuits
- Includes ALU for computations - main function

CU
- control operations sent to ALU from ram/memory

ALU
- 4 or 8 bit computations
- Add, subtract, increment, decrement
- maybe carry in?

Memory
- basic ram module
- non-volatile memory for any software that is necessary

Input
- switch board? maybe keypad

Output
