CMOS Elementary Cellular Automata Visualization Board

This is an open-source KiCad design files for a circuit that could generate and visualize Elementary Automata only by using common logic ICs. There are two versions available: Standard and Minimal.

Standard version is a large board of size 247x127mm (9.7x5in), suitable for putting in a frame. Featuring:

- 26 Logic ICs in DIP package. (Okay, I have an ATMEGA328 here but it's here just to drive the display. Its firmware is available here as well.) - 1.44 inch TFT display with a display driver which can draws a complete picture of that elementary automata rule. - Fully visualized 65-bit shift…

Automata Generator Standard: common questions

What microcontroller does the Automata Generator Standard use?

The Automata Generator Standard is built around the ATmega328-PU, from the AVR/Arduino family.

How big is the Automata Generator Standard PCB?

The Automata Generator Standard measures 246.4 × 127 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Automata Generator Standard?

121 components, from 53 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Automata Generator Standard design files?

From the Sirawit7205/Automata-Visualization-Board repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Automata Generator Standard design in my own project?

The repository has no license, so all rights stay with Sirawit7205. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.

Can I test firmware for the Automata Generator Standard without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
