Hi there,
I'm currently reaching the end stages of my breadboard 8-bit CPU project. The project uses about 28 breadboards, it's very similar to Ben Eater's breadboard computer ( https://eater.net), he inspired me to actually crack on with taking my designs and building something. The problem I'm having now is that when I plug in the system to a 5V 2A, or even a 5V 5A PSU, the system is dead. A few lights turn on but it's obvious not enough current is reaching half of the ICs. My question is, what is the best practice when connecting power for a system like this, how would I distribute the power properly?
Thanks very much.
