OK, we will spend the the 9:00 - 9;30 and 2:25-2:45 of Thursday Class talking about the 8 Bit Computer and what you should be working on.  Basically find the place you are in the flow in the Mechatronics Google Site for Ben Eater's 8 Bit Computer page and keep working. It is best to use the Focus on Foundations SLACK channel to ask for support questions... this way me, Randy, or any other students can help you.  Just post your question in the right channel.
