At its core, there is an annotated binary LED-display of 8 bits (one byte). Depending on the type of data, the three most significant bits can be turned off using DIP-switches. Aligned above the bits, two digits show the hex (or octal) representation of it. The board can be powered through a mini USB connector, switch to a custom supply when the +12V and -12V rails are needed as well.

A clicky Digitast Action-button provides a properly debounced signal to use with microprocessors or TTL logic. The extension interface exposes the data bus, action-out and clock-input. When needed, the latter two can be inverted on the board. Mix functionality with extension boards or design your own!

Extend and combine this 8-bit Workbench™ with our other kits to learn and do (vintage) computer experiments. Like the Super Breadboard or Binary Keyboard (as shown in the first picture). Visit our store to get more information on those products. A discount is applied when you order a combination of these kits that connect together.

Two more products are in the development pipeline: a Hex Keyboard and a Terrific Timer (a highly versatile 555-timer board).
