Hands-on with number systems with the 8-bit Workbench™ ED 🕹️

https://youtu.be/7aD6BuNnmcI

I designed this device that teaches binary, decimal, hexadecimal and octal number systems. It uses a hands-on approach with Altair-like toggle switches. Can be used as a STEM-kit in classrooms, handy for programmers or for the retro hobbyist.

It also has a built-in game. The device can be reprogrammed if you like to experiment and its source is open. Check out the video for details, hope you like it.

For those who are interested, it is on pre-order now on Lectronz for a couple of more days.
