Used to program the 6502 then the 65C02 using the compiler Merlin. I could spend hours buried in assembly language routines, debugging and optimizing just to shave off a few microseconds. Loved it!
This is amazing! I used to program in Z-80 and 8080 Assembly, and your source code is similar. I will visit your project for more details, because I'm interested in the architecture. I have subscribed and thumbs-up! P.S. This would look great with a flipdot display!
To think that today, the phone in our hands can do this same calculation trillions of times in the time it took this antique relay computer to do it once.
Would I recommend using this computer? No. It’s slow. Would I recommend using this computer for calculations in the exam hall and to make music? Absolutely.
just shows how fast modern computers are. on my ryzen 9 3900x it takes only 90 seconds to calculate 1 billion digits of pi. by the time this calculator finishes doing 8 digits i can do over 5 billion
Is this a 5 or 10 bit machine by chance? It's got a 5/8 rhythm to it, with a particularly loud operation happening every 5 beats. Might use it in a song some day.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk ok. but why was it doing well until that point? not enough registers for that many decimal places? Its giving me much more appreciation for the eggheads who figured this out on paper hundreds of years ago.
@@Gazdatronik the first recorded methods were with regular n-gons. But the info is rare. Edit: the fraction is just that off. Like 3 is just 0.33333... off of 10/3.
Here is another video with the same algorithm, but with teletype output: ruclips.net/video/HqMfZEPkGQE/видео.html
I didn't know the sound of Pi was so intense, it has its own chase music.
That machine is just beautiful. I have watched the video of it running a dozen times and it still mesmerizes each time.
What a beautiful peace of equipment. Such an bruitforce combination of electrical and mechanical beauty.

Your computer has me ready to break out some drums. 😄
Magnetic drum storage?
Shifting and substracting. This must be result of tens of years effort.
Respect.
3/4 2/4 2/4 3/4 3/4 3/4 2/4 3/4, and so on. This computer loves playing with time signatures
Maybe he has it wired to cut execution short for instructions that don't need all the time steps possible.
Звуки реле и перемигивание светодиодов просто завораживают.
👍
this sound definitely has loop-potential ^_^
It’s in 5/4 in case anybody’s wondering
ok, i want to watch this when you've turned the speed up to as fast as it can do and still be stable
Obviously this machine was properly “Debugged “ 😂 Love this demonstration of the electromechanical devices. 🎉
No doubt each relay comes in its own plastic enclosure.
Is the rhythm of this considered the clock frequency?
That's right.
it's amazing to see this in the 21st century!
This computer may lack a GPU but definetively has sound capabilities
This is my favorite Steve Reich song
This is like a primitive maraca that beat and that's why I like relays more than transistors now
What is the name of the algorithm you used?
This is a digit-by-digit calculation of a fraction 355/113
Really cool machine and it's interesting to see the output in binary.
I'm glad it was able to do that otherwise we may never have known the answer.
thanks for *relaying* this information
Прикольная цветомузыка у вас )))
Скачал себе на флешку, в машине буду слушать :)
Ahhh back in the time where computers are our slaves..now its in reverse hahaha
My grandfather had an old John Deere tractor that sounded like this.
This is how computers in german federal offices sound.
As a tap dancer, I feel you bro
We neee the 10hr version for sleep!
I hear music 🎶
Nice rhythm !
And awesome PC (personal computer)
If I can manage it, I would love to teach myself how to make something like this. Incredible!
same!
Man that computer's laying down some epic beats bro
This sound like is fast steam engine.
Szaracén Zsákos yeah it kinda does
It's actually a beat with light music
To think that today, the phone in our hands can do this same calculation trillions of times in the time it took this antique relay computer to do it once.
I’d like that beat
Would I recommend using this computer? No. It’s slow.
Would I recommend using this computer for calculations in the exam hall and to make music? Absolutely.
Something mesmerizing about hearing the computer crunch the numbers via its relay system.
music!
That's not a computer, it's a drum machine.
Out of all the sounds I expected, none of them were "Steam locomotive" lmao
It sounds sooo satisfying 😍
And this is why the mechanical computer era never lasted more than a few years.
It was needed.
Mechanical computers were used on navy ships for more than 50 years…. mechanical calculators were used for 100 years….
@@PRH123 In specific applications, analog computers are useful, yes.
@@ijunkie This is digital, not analog. It’s just slow, that’s all.
that's a good song
dancing in middle of my room in a very weird fashion
Did you put LEDs inside the relay modules? That is so cool! I love blinkenlights!
There are relay modules with embedded LEDs.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk I didn't know they came with LEDs.
What a soothing sound of relays
cool beat, when is the guitar solo?
Fantastic
just shows how fast modern computers are.

by the time this calculator finishes doing 8 digits i can do over 5 billion
1e-6 MIPS
Stand up for the computer anthem!
It might be nice to have it make a sound every time it computes a new digit; may I suggest, the sound of a steam train whistle.
Incredible !!
POV: Hans Zimmer composing the dark knight score
oh, its dividing the hierarchical fraction approximation - still very nice rythm :)
RUclips, why do you put such temptation in front of me? This is dork heroin right here
Sounds like a Steve Reich song
Huh interesting choice to display the LSB on the right instead of the left
56295141.3? LSB left seems more odd.
Can't believe how slow it can be. Had to wait minutes for a digit to pop out.
Move aside pencil and paper. We've got time and kW to burn!
The devil is moving those relays 😂.
i am a simple man
i see relay, i like
i see pi, i like
i was really hoping for some bass to kick in
Ok this a really weird Javascript Library i'm gonna head out
What beautiful Melody
Очень впечатляет! Однако, или реле старой конструкции, или их тысячи одновременно в работе?
Ну их не тысячи, а две-три сотни. Но это не герконовые реле, конечно.
Is this a rhytm machine? Nice Grooooooove!
Incredible! But can it run doom? Crysis?
I also like Minimal Techno...
It’s got a beat you can dance to!
5:55 is it coming down with the sickness?
the quality of the relay must be very good :-)

It's a 8-bit machine, but every instruction consists of 10 clock ticks.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk how fast is the clock, since some relays can run reliably at 10hz
@@crazy_wwww one instruction takes about 2 seconds. Therefore clock frequency is about 5 Hz.
Why it calculates the wrong Number at the end?
Because it calculates a fraction, which is only the approximation of Pi.
@@Pavel.Dovgalyuk ok. but why was it doing well until that point? not enough registers for that many decimal places?
Its giving me much more appreciation for the eggheads who figured this out on paper hundreds of years ago.
@@Gazdatronik I don't know who and how found this approximation.
@@Gazdatronik the first recorded methods were with regular n-gons.

Any relation to Steve Reich or the Marble machine?
No, I haven't seen it.
I'm gonna ask the age old question:
Will it run doom?
How long does it take to render a 4k-Video 😉
Is this the whole "math rock" thing they were talking about?
Sounds musical...
Oh, man. My mom loved Lord of the Dance, lol.
Somebody needs to duet this.
Cool! But can it play Crysis? (I know..... tired old meme, but couldn't resist) ;) Have never seen one of these before.
I feel like someone could rap over this.
Мощьно
That sound ❤️ (like train)
Alan Turing is smiling 😊
Amazing. What is the clock speed ?
I don't remember. It seems like 0.5 instructions per second.
what is the size of the power supply on this thing?
There is a big rectangular module in the bottom of every unit of the computer.
I was waiting for the base to drop...
Somebody make a song outta this
Music when?
About 10 Hz clock signal
You forgot to carry the click clack
Intro to Mr Brownstone by Guns n Roses
Don't tell me it is slower than mechanical calculator. Isn't better to make ALU unit for that?
The computer already has ALU unit. It is built on relays too.
What algorithm was used?
It is 355/113 fraction calculation.
Man that is soo cool❤️
Is it weird that I wanna sample this?
It needs a base line and a melody.
