Building a Counting Analog Digit in a Logic Gate Simulator

[poxy1235]

can you possible send me the save? if you saved and still have it? that would be really nice :D hace the logic gate simulator already

[kagebun]

what are the boxes that are generating current? Alternating current generators?

[nicholaswright2006]

@kagebun Yup. You can set them to alternate on/off at different frequencies.

[kagebun]

@nicholaswright2006 That's crazy. Do you have to convert the frequency from an outlet (aren't they like upwards of 240hz?) to build an actual clock?

Is there some way we go about rectifying the frequency to be exactly what we need or do we rely on the frequency being what it is out of the outlet in order to derive the correct frequency?

PS: I agree with tripletrules. This video is like art. Love the music to. Great job.

[nicholaswright2006]

@kagebun I don't know much about doing it in the real world D: I just found this flash Logic Gate Sim online, and figured out I could use the pieces to build a clock/counter.

Besides, if it were 240hz, that would be a seriously fast counter lol. I'm assuming you'd have to be counting every 240th cycle or something?

I'm a programmer, not an engineer haha...

@nicholaswright2006 whats the song name bro?

@nicholaswright2006 @kagebun While mains frequency (50 or 60 Hz) has been used as a crude timer, it's somewhat inaccurate (not that it would matter in this application) and a bit hard to use, it being 120-240 V. What you would do is take a relatively high-frequency oscillator with a divider and some logic to reset the circuit at a certain point (32 768 Hz is easy to use, just put it through a 15-bit divider and you get it straight down to 1 Hz). Or, possibly, a microcontroller.

@kagebun electric outlets are 50 hz in europe and 60 hz in america brutha.

i came.

Dude this is awesome! It's like art just watching it.
