I have a cd4001, on a new BB, running from the computer's 5V. I have 10k pullldown res's on the 2 input's I'm using, w/ switches, and a 1k and LED on that O/P and the other inputs are grounded, and I have a 22uF and 100nF next to the chip. And it still runs poorly, changing brigness a lot, turning off even. So I GNDed the other outputs, and still no luck. I can unhook it's GND, and it still keeps driving the output LED, just not as bright.
I shouldn't need an RF can just to use this, even if it's a cheap breadboard.
