Richards controller: History, The Richards flowchart & Kernel of the controller

The Richards controller is a method of implementing a finite-state machine using simple integrated circuits and combinational logic. The method was named after its inventor, Charles L. Richards. It allows for easier design of complex finite-state machines than the traditional techniques of state diagrams, state-transition tables and Boolean algebra…
