Lab Activities

The purposes of this lab are:

1. to learn what a shift register is and how to construct one from flip-flops;
   
   
2. to learn what a counter is and how to use it to construct a divide-by-N circuit; and
   
   
3. to become familiar with the 555 timer (one slot) and to build an oscillator with it.
