Description
I've been reading Cryptonomicon which made me really interested in how the Enigma Machines work. It's really interesting how incredibly simple they are conceptually, but the way they were built using 30s technology is really expensive and time consuming to replicate.
Project Goals:
- Build an M3 Enigma inspired device that is true to the mechanical feel of the original. No use of micro-controllers, seven segment displays etc.
- Compatible with M3 simulators.
- Easy to assemble and replicate ( The Rotors are just a PCB, pogo pins, and some printed parts)
- Relatively affordable. Use parts that are cheap and abundantly available over more period correct parts when needed.
Non-Goals:
- Model an exact replica of any particular machine
