FranLab: Diode Steering For Displays

Help Support Fran's YouTube Channel on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/frantone In this vlog I do a cool project to show how you can create advanced display drivers using diode steering. I build a 555 timer clock to control a 4017B decade counter as a start, build a couple of simple display boards, and also get to use some of my cool vintage parts for an advanced discrete DTL 7-segment driver. Check out the details and schematics on my science and engineering blog to build your own project - http://www.frantone.com/designwritings/design_writings10.html#Diode For further reading check out Colin Mitchell's Talking Electronics 555 Circuits: http://www.talkingelectronics.com/projects/50%20-%20555%20Circuits/50%20-%20555%20Circuits.html Dave Jones gets a Colin Mitchell 555/4017 scanner kit on Mailbag: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hHPeNIU6ls Donate to help fund my YouTube Channel at http://www.frantone.com Fran on Twitter - https://twitter.com/contourcorsets Fran's Science Blog - http://www.frantone.com/designwritings/design_writings.html Fran's Daily Updates - http://www.contourcorsets.com/daily/daily.html
