Here's a datasheet for one -> https://www.fairchildsemi.com/datash...D/CD4013BC.pdf

Get a 14-pin DIP chip, a 14-pin DIP socket for the chip, a 0.1 uf capacitor (preferably not electrolytic), and solder jumper wires as described in the below pin assignments:

10 <-> 8 <-> 7 <-> 6 <-> 4

3 -> 2.2 kohm resistor -> 14
3 -> input Alfa VSS signal
1 -> 11
14 -> V+ (same source wire that powers the MPGuino, for instance)
7 -> ground
14 -> 0.1 uf capacitor -> 7
1 -> 11
13 -> VSS output to MPGuino
2 -> 5
12 -> 9



No problem.

The MPGuino version can be found on the screen, for approximately 2 seconds after it is first powered up.

Does this look correct?.

One question, i know the capacitor has a negative side, clearly marked.. but the resistor, to where does the golden strip point?.




Hmm.. didn't show code version on startup for some reason, tried twice.
