About

The T729 Ternary Computer is a hobby project that I have been working on since 2014 in my spare time. It started as a thought experiment and was a day dream project during boring college classes. I've wanted to make some kind of DIY breadboard or discrete component computer for a long while but there is already an ocean of hobby 8 and 16 bit projects out there. I wanted to do something different. A base three computer seemed like a cool idea. I figured out on my own on paper the truth tables for the logic gates SUM, CON, and ANY. A full adder has the same layout for ternary as it does for binary. Later I discovered The Ternary Manifesto by Douglas W. Jones https://homepage.cs.uiowa.edu/~dwjones/ternary/ This site provided a strong foundation to build upon and names for the ternary gates. There does not appear to be a lot of publicly accessible information online on ternary computers. Because of the lack of existing information I've had to teach myself binary computing and make up the balanced ternary form myself.
