74HC00

The 74HC00; 74HCT00 is a quad 2-input NAND gate. Inputs include clamp diodes. This enables the use of current limiting resistors to interface inputs to voltages in excess of VCC.

Nostalgic CMOS Frequency Meter

“The CMOS series of integrated circuits appeared shortly after the TTL series. This means that at the beginning of the 70s it was available on the market in an accessible way for any user. Hence the nostalgia of those who …

MikroLeo is a 4-bit microcomputer developed mainly for educational purposes and distributed for free under open-source licenses. 4-bit Didactic Microcomputer The project is in …

Talking clock

“Retro clock with seven segment display, WDC65C02 microprocessor and SP0256 voice synthesis chip. Few years ago I began my experiments with retro microprocessors. Their eventual result was a design of board consisting WDC65C02 CPU, EPROM, static RAM chip and couple …

Line Follower Robot Without Using Microcontroller

“Suddenly, I got the idea to make a line follower robot without using a microcontroller. After that, I started researching this topic but can’t find any proper guidance. So I started simulating and building logic for each functionality, such …

NeoPixel Punk Console

“Blinking RGB LEDs with 555s and a handful of 74-series logic The goal of this project is to display colorful patterns on a strip of WS2812 or SK6812 RGB LEDs (aka NeoPixels) without the help of an MCU. Addressable RGB …

BreadBin computer

“After various experiments and failed attempts to design a 7400-based computer, I came to a quite minimalistic 8-bit approach which is nevertheless pretty versatile and can utilize a surprisingly large amount of memory resources. The CPU core itself executes its …
