What kind of flip-flops? A D Flip-FLop, an SR Flip-Flop, or a JK Flip Flop?
Wow, there's a geek reference for you. Of course, considering I was doing redstone wiring in Minecraft, it does keep me in the right frame of mind.
Who would've thought that my Digital Logic course from like 8 years ago would be relevant to a game I play in 2011?
JK Flip-flop, of course. When I took my hardware and circuit design classes way back in 1980's, I had to build those circuits from a manual breadboard using AND, OR and NAND chips courtesy of Texas Instruments. We used a JK flip flop in conjunction with a hex decoder and a single LED readout to implement a counter from 0 to 15 (0..9,A..F) every time a switch was opened and closed. The J-K flip flop prevented spark gaps from the switch from advancing the counter more than once. We used the JK as a circuit stabilizer and a raw RAM bit.
No, I did NOT use radio tubes. However, I did find out that with enough amperage, they do make lovely party-poppers!
Hows THAT for GEEK?
