"I have no clue what I'm doing. Learning and making it up as I go along."
The T9 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 graph paper doodle project during boring college classes.
I've wanted to make some kind of DIY breadboard or discrete component computer for a long time 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 have had to teach myself binary computing and then reinvent whatever function in balanced ternary myself.
