Special Instructions:

Entry / Exit Ticket
1) Cobham Field Trip


FLIP GRID - Due this week
Go to  https://flipgrid.com/9de28c8c and answer the following questions.  You will be put into teams of 2-3 and you will have to answer all 3 questions... but each team member will be responsible for one question.  These will be assigned at random... so all team members will need to be able to answer any of the questions. Give a solid 90 sec in depth explanation.  Then if we think you need to redo it, we will have your team re-answer, but we will reassign randomly a different question.  So  make sure you take your time to do a goo job. 
1) How does the SR latch work using the 2 NOR gate?
2) How is the D Latch different than the SR latch?
3) What is the different and how does the D Flip Flop work

8-Bit Computer Announcements
4-12-19
Vote: 20min Potluck at start of class, at at 1:45pm?

First thing before getting your bin:
  1. Open your 8 Bit Computer Google Doc
  2. Find the link to the Log Google Form (in blue at the top), and open as another tab - and use today please
  3. Please read my comments/questions in your doc and hit RESOLVE when you've addressed it

When you get your bin:
  1. Take personal pliers, we have enough, you need them, it will save you lots of time

Pro Tips:
  1. Trim leads in half on all resistors and capacitor BEFORE using them (save lots of time and problems)
  2. If you are not familiar/comfortable/using the SCHEMATIC on the photocopy, make sure you get a review today, either individually or in a group
  3. If you finish the entire clock module and sabotage debug, please get another breadboard, a 74LS02 NOR gate chip (look up spec sheet for pinout ) and 2 push-button switches to build the SR Latch - that is the only intermediate circuit I'd like you to build before getting to using the 173 4-bit register chips

Inside a electrolytic capacitor (30s) - shows why we describe/model a capacitor as "parallel plates"
