(ET) Walking down memory lane on old stuff



Total "off the wall"

I picked up a digital training system unit somewhere, lent it to the school tech class, guess they just stashed it. Has a whole batch of stuff like J-K flip-flops, and and nand gates, even a seven segment display and a batch of LED's. So got it back and after playing a bit and straining the memory got it running as a hexidecimal counter, lighting the 4 leds in sequence and an "F" at the right time. Gotta think a bit and see if I can do the whole sequence of letters and numbers but don't think there are enough gates.

So, put it away, take it to school next fall and do a show and tell.

Good to get the brain in gear, wombat
