My processor Electronics      

I designed the processor electronics with a dual processor system and I had to write the software to controll all the hardware of the complete system on the two processors. They had to coordinate with each-other and they also had to deal with their respective hardware (ATM token readers etc) processes. Finally they were very closely enmeshed with my program on the PC, which represented the bank on which I had written the accounting system and the complex live display. It all worked in real time and kept the "customers" informed at every stage.
