My name is Adam. I'm building a 16-bit computer from scratch. I hope you will join me on this journey.

In this video I discuss my interpretation of decoupling capacitors and how I will use them during my build-out. I am trying to get ahead of ground noise issues and I believe that decoupling capacitor placement is what is required.

Part of my approach is a departure from what I consider common practice. Am I right? Am I way off base? Who knows! This is why it's, "The World According to Adam."

Now, I would not knowingly present any false information. That said, there is also a chance I am wrong here.

I also make an attempt at a full ground layer for a breadboard which ends up in a FAIL.
