I posted about the 74HC74 flip-flop on Saturday. For the same project I’m going to use that IC for, I’ll probably use a 555 timer. It’s often referred to as one of the most useful ICs you can get. I’ve never used the 555 either, so I wired up some simple demos using it. In order to show two […]

I received some advice to use a 74HC74 flip-flop for a project idea I’ve had. I’ve never used an integrated circuit so I thought a good first step was to put together a very simple demo I could hack around with it. This IC is big enough it actually provides two flip-flops, one on each side as […]
