Usagi Electric’s Paper Tape Reader Is Ready To Hop With The Tube Computer

After previously working out a suitable approach to create a period-correct paper tape reader for his tube-based, MC14500B processor-inspired computer, [David Lovett] over at the Usagi Electric far…

Building A Paper Tape Reader To Read Bytes

Over at the [Usagi Electric] farm, [David Lovett]’s custom 1-bit, vacuum tube-based computer (UEVTC for short) has been coming along well the past years, matching and exceeding the Motorola M…

Looking forward to trolling my colleagues with diagrams made using this template. My excuse? I was denied a licence for #LucidChart. #VintageComputing #Flowchart #PunchedCard #PunchedTape #DrumDisk #MagneticTape

🔎🧵 A photo of the first attempt at reading punched tape - manually unwinding it captured in the form of a video. The software (still) doesn't support this (you have to export it as images), but it wouldn't be difficult to implement.

@carnage4life That's just a function of current digital storage media. Digitalization itself has nothing to do with it.

Punched paper/cardboard cards or tape would be able to survive for centuries with adequate storage just fine.

Building an optical reader for such is also what I'd consider a first-year electronics project.

I could successfully connect an #arduino Nano 33 IOT at the output of the #punchedtape reader. I am still manually pulling the tape. I think I get a parity error when there are some misalignments. I think it can be solved! It’s a really fun project and I like how it is coming together. #retrocomputing
I built a small reading circuit with some comparators. LM393s work well at 3.3V and are easy to source. I will try to connect an #Arduino soon to decode the flow of data. #punchedtape.
My mother got her MSc. more than 50 years ago. She was a sort of a pioneer as she run climate models on computers. I remember we had #punchedcards (that were unfortunately lost in a flood many years ago). She has found a #punchedtape a few weeks ago. I remember back when I was a kid I wanted to build a system to read it. It may become an interesting project… #vintagecomputing
