Hi, my name is Tim. I'm a sophomore in Computer Engineering and Computer Science. I'm constructing my first electronic circuit, sorta, and I ran into a wall.
I have to build some simple logic circuits on a solderless breadboard using some 74xx integrated circuits (IC), an inverter, a DIP switch, and some LEDs. They supply me with the circuit diagram, but I don't really understand where to wire the inputs and outputs of the circuit. The individual numbers correspond to the IC's.
1) Do I wire the number of the IC's directly into the DIP switch?
2) Where do the outputs go to?
I'm very green when it comes to circuits, so please don't be too technical when you try to help me, thanks much in advance!
