I cannot locate them so I may order another set soon
Or just buy a load of nand or nor gates,from those you can build the others
I'll go one better, I got 250 transistors, 5 NPN, 5 PNP 10 of each type.
I am planning to make a few switches, loops, blinkers etc and then move on to an adder and a counter and such.
In the end, I will will have a 2-bit computer moving crumbs around my breadboard.
might go for a MC14500B or an Intel 3000, however, just a 2 bit adder, comparator or such, maybe push it to 4 bit
I am trying to really grasp the basics and get a low level understanding, so as I move forward I can possibly use a 4-bit chip of some kind to assist in higher order computing or addressing, such as a 16-bit mcu/cpu using the 20-bit ISA bus, or larger memory arrays, or bigger math operands, etc
so I am working an elenco primer on my breadboard at the moment. I built an LED, switch, resistor circuit with my breadboard
I checked my board power supply unit, its a cheap My Robot breadboard PSU, the 3.3v was fairly stable, the 5v spiked to 7.5 v several times in a few seconds... wow!
getting set up here, more progress this week!
