Hi everyone
At uni we use something called a "logic trainer" to test combinational digital circuits. Its basicaly 74series logic ICs in big containers with pins that plug into a board. You can plug them in and connect them to switches and LEDs to test various circuits and it also has a few extra features like an LED and decoder.
It costs £1000 and I was going to get one. I realised though, that I can pretty much buy a few gates and switches and get the same functionality for less than a £100 and test my combinational logic circuits on a breadboard instead.
Is there any recommended series of logic gate ICs or equipment for constructing and testing logic circuits at home?
