Since the it is for illustration, rather than for
significant
real usage,
16 bits should be plenty to show how it works.
Glass fuses don't blacken unless you really whack them with a lot of
current, and can sometimes be very hard to even see visually
whether they
are blown.
Ceramic fuses, such as what VW used to use would be the easiest to
visually check which ones are blown, but it's hard to find
them in smaller
sizes than 8 amps.
Would you be programming in place, or "cheating" and assembly the unit
with fuses that are already blown?
Ideally programming in place, with a home-made "programmer" -- probably
it would be mostly switches, etc, with no logic in it... very simple
design. At least that was the idea.
