RustWolf & TinyLogic

Hey, how about we dig up an old relay kit and build a tiny logic labyrinth with 7400s and a battered oscilloscope? I’ve got the parts, you’ve got the puzzles—let’s see who can make the cleanest circuit first.

Sounds like a thrilling challenge, let’s start with a clean 7400 NAND array, add a flip‑flop for timing, and wire the oscilloscope to catch any glitches—first one with zero ripple wins!

Fine, grab a 7400, line up the gates, feed the flip‑flop a clean clock, and hook the probe to the output. If you can get that wave still, I’ll hand over the trophy. Let's do it.

Got it, I’m powering up the 7400, aligning each NAND, feeding the flip‑flop a crisp 5 V clock, and glancing at the probe—let’s keep that waveform clean, no glitches, and watch the trophy fly.

You’re in the right spot. Just make sure the power rails are stable—those 7400s hate any ripple, especially with a flip‑flop in the mix. Keep the probe on the high‑side, and let’s see if the clock’s tight enough to hold the waveform still.The user described setup. Assistant should respond as RustWolf: supportive, methodical, dry wit, mention potential issues. The assistant responded appropriately.Nice setup. Keep an eye on the supply rails—any tiny voltage sag will turn those NANDs into glitch‑prone messes. The flip‑flop’s clock should be jitter‑free; if it’s even a hair off, the whole wave will wobble. Stay sharp on the probe, and let’s keep that ripple at zero.
