Network_Transceiver

A fully functional network card for an 8bit
binary network, using just 2 signal lines.

Made with vanilla parts only, over the
course of a week and about 15 prototypes,
by suicidal_banana (suicidal_banana_nl on
steam) feel free to contact me with any
questions you might have! :)

--------------------------------------------------------------

What even is this:
- A 8bit binary sender & receiver in one
- Lets you send around 8bit binary codes
to 8bit binary addresses, using only 2
signal lines :D

Whats new compared to my set of
seperated sender & receiver:
- Includes a basic buffer for when its busy
- Includes a bridge modus where it will
forward packets IF its not a packet for its
own address.

If you use this in a workshop upload or
some sort of media (pic/movie/stream)
then a mention of my nickname somewhere
is required, this was like a week of work,
please give a little credit for my efforts!
Thanks for your understanding, i hope :P

How to interface with the network card:
- Purple & Pink switches on the left are for
defining what address you want to send
data too.
- Lime & Yellow switches on the left are for
defining what data you want to send to
the address.
- Green button top-left is for sending data
- Blue switch is for enabling bridge modus
- Purple & Pink switches on the right are for
setting the address of this network-card
- The Purple and Lime OR gates at the
bottom-middle-ish of the card are for
the input signals
- The purple and lime OR gates at the
top-left are where you get output signals
- Everything but the bridge modus is
meant to be adressed by other circuits, so
the send button and all 24 switches are
made ontop of OR gates, you can wire
your own logic too these or gates :D

--------------------------------------------------------------

How to connect up multiple cards:
- You can either connect them directly to
each-other in a chain, for that to work
make sure you enable the bridge modus!
Also dont forget that you will likelly want
signals to circle the chain, so that data
from a card halfway up the chain can also
reach the cards before it. If so just connect
the output of the last card to the input of
the first card :D
- Or you can make signal lines (think
telephone wire poles) then connect each
signal-pole near a network card to the
input gates of that card, and then connect
the output of each card to the NEXT signal-
pole. Make sure you do this connecting to
the next one, because you dont want a
network-card to feed data into itself, thats
a waste :P
- Please note that your better option here is
to make the signal-poles, as that means
signals go too all the network-cards at the
same time. Only use bridge modus if
speed isnt important, as that makes it
delay each data-package by something
like 2 seconds for each of the
network-cards, as it passes trough each
of the address checks of each card.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Some more notes:
- While this is compatible with my earlier
uploaded sender & reciever i strongly
suggest not using them together still,
because that old version has a bug with
address 00000000 while this new version
does not!
- Its slightly bigger then my previous set
combined (like 1 row of blocks) but in
return you get a basic buffer that tries to
prevent data loss! :)
- This buffer will only handle one full
data-package though, any more and you
will still lose data, didnt really wanted to
make even more timers lol, should be
fine for most uses though!
- Last but not least, see the below msg.
