Working on my coffee water timer, but I didn't want to clutter that thread anymore. And since this question is singularly specific I'll just ask it here:
I need to be able to use a CD4040 ripple counter to get a count that is end user customizable by dip switches. Is there a way to have just 1 set of DIP switches, 1 on each Q1-Q12 to select the desired number? I've tried putting inverters on each Q1-12, and jumpers in front of and after the inverter, but this is making a huge nightmare on my pc board. I'm just wondering if there's a simpler way to do this???
