I think I may have a Voyager problem. It's at the point where all it takes is an offhand reference or small question, and I come around two hours later and there's 18 pages of text that I've apparently written.

Just checked: someone made a passing reference to how little computer power the Voyager probes have. Not even asking anything.

2300 word coredump of what I've gathered so far about Voyager's computers. Help.

@tomjennings In context they were marveling at everything Voyager's done, given that basic toaster you can buy at the store these days probably has a Cortex-M0 in it that can run a gate level sim of all of Voyager's computers, run the sim faster than the real thing, and still have capacity left over to toast things as a side gig.

The amount of computer you can get for a dollar these days is indeed nuts. What Voyager does without that is even more nuts :)
