Interestingly enough, if I put even a 6Mhz, or faster, crystal in instead, it doesn't work very well at all. I was lucky that I found a tutorial using components that matches the speeds I wanted to run I guess. There certainly is lots to learn here

Here's the circuit This is the tutorial I followed: I've since found other ones that also uses inverters but I didn't have all the component values for those. I might try some other ones as well

The result of using a 74LS74 (D flip flop) and a 74HCU04 (hex inverter) is going from this: To this: And it's probably going to get a bit better once I tied down all unused inputs as well, cheers everyone!

thanks, will give all of these a try once manage to free up some time

I built with NOR and AND as in the Ben Eater videos. Will try this one as well

Not silly at all as I am completely new to this and that hadn't occurred to me. Shall have a look thanks

update, if anyone is curious Not getting it to work. I've come as far as making the outputs do as I want as long as I don't use not Q as input. When I do use not Q then switchover seems random. My guess is I have to de-bounce it but I really have no idea. Will continue experimenting when I'm closer to sobriety

awesome, thanks all!

Been playing around in Logisim. To halve the frequency, don't I really just need a D-latch with the invertered Q going to the enable (or is it called input) pin? Like I've done in the picture? I don't really need to split the signal, just remove half the ticks.

oh I'll have a look, thanks

Hello Just got a 6502 A in the mail which I understand runs at 2MHz. I don't have any of those crystal oscillators, but I do have a 4MHz. Can I split the signal using logic gates? At the top of my head perhaps an XOR gate and a D-latch set/reset latch should do it? But the details are not the point, the question is, is it viable or would it not be exact enough? Thanks

Going to start with the 6502 as well. In fact, I heard of the 8-bit guy from Youtube recommendations after watching Ben Eater videos.

Typical, they had the Rigol DS1104Z Plus with all licenses on sale. Now I just have to learn how to use it. So if anyone knows any good courses online I'm all ears

Thank you, much appreciated That Rigol will probably end up too hard to resist to purchase

Hello First off, couldn't find anything about not posting about products so I thought it would be ok, hope it's not frowned upon. Now then, I was looking at getting an oscilloscope for learning more about electronics and digital signaling, when I stumbled upon the ADALM2000. It's a device that includes some instruments in very rudimentary form such as an oscilloscope, logic analyzer, pattern generator etc. But what interests me the most is that it's meant to be used mainly for educational purposes and it includes some study resources. Does anyone have any experiences with this, perhaps looked at the study material? Do you know if the tools are good enough to be useful when you've learned a bit more and want to take the training wheels off? https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/adalm2000.html# Thanks!
