My name is Adam. I'm building a 16-bit computer from scratch. I hope you will join me on this journey.

In this video, I start the Clock Module for the computer. However, I make a horrible mistake and film the back of my head while I am troubleshooting. Bald spot!!

Seriously, I get the IC chips confused and wire-up a 74LS04 Inverter as if it is a 556 Timer. I'm sure I hurt the Inverter and will test that in a future video.

I also mention Ben Eater's series on the 555 Timer circuits. His videos are available here, and I highly recommend watching them:
1) Astable operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRlSFm519Bo
2) Monostable operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81BgFhm2vz8
3) Bistable operation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCwJNnx36Rk
