Can anybody recommend a good book or website which explains various timers, counters and displays?
I've already done some experiments with 555s, decade counters and 7 segment displays, but it is all basic stuff.
There seams to be a plethora of all these components and I want to find out what does what with what. The problem with reading data sheets is that they kind of expect that you know what you are looking for before you read them and I don't.
You may ask what I want to build, but at present there is nothing specific. I want to try building a clock, a frequency timer, ultrasonic distance measurer and others. These are all ideas that are bouncing around in my head at present but they all require an understanding of timers and counters and if I want an output, displays.
Any help would be appreciated.
