 We used clusters like nets in verilog. We used a shift register as a program counter and had three different operations we could do: math, store, and load. We used case statements as muxes and only used gates to construct most of this. We used clusters like nets in verilog.

 We started this project by constructing a half adder. As you can see all the logic is done with gates instead of using LabView’s math tools. ​ We started this project by constructing a half adder. As you can see all the logic is done with gates instead of using LabView’s math tools. ​

 This is our memory file. We used an addition operator as well as branch statements in order to change things from binary into numbers so it would be easy to wire up our muxes. Other than this nothing from the math pallet was used in our CPU. We used global variables to represent our registers, though we later learned this was wrong. If we were going to redo this, we would use shift registers instead. Our register file was very similar to this except it only had 2 cases and outputted both registers.  ​ This is our memory file.

- +**How you can help** 
 +The project can be extended by testing the vi's with more people of varying levels of LabView experience. Our VI's included in the zip folder, could be built upon and revised into a partially completed state for exercises. Also in the zip folder is the writeup of what components are comparable to what so that you could make a set of vi's yourself. By either using and documenting your experience with the VIs or building your own you could help further test the usability of LabView as a teaching tool.
