Hello everybody, uni has ended and I should be hopefully finishing next year.
Im starting to think what I should do for my bachelors degree thesis. I want to make something tangible and reasonably easy, I figured a digital clock out of discrete components.
I have alot of the stuff figured out at the moment, I am posting this to ask about the counter.
I am looking to make the counter reliable and with the least amount of components, and I need to set the seconds/minutes/hours and reset everything.
My questions are:
1) Which trigger should I use for this ? JK ?
2) Should I use a synchronous or asynchronous clock setup ?
3) Is doing it with discrete components overkill ? Thats alot of transistors
For now all I want it to do is to count time, no extra features yet. Could somebody with a bit more handson experience suggest me a counter setup ?
Thank you for reading.
