<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OK, here comes my first kinda dumb question (of
many more to come, I'm sure) for the list...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm building a very simple 8 step/2 stage
sequencer, using a CD4017 and here's what I can't quite figure out:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do you get the sequencer to stop so
that it - A) does not put out the voltage of the current step and B) always
starts again on step 1, when you restart it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have read the datasheet & messed around with
the clock enable input, reset, & clock input... but I just can't quite get
it to do what I want. I am building this for a simple synth project
(inside an old samsonite suitcase) and I want it to act as the master clock to
control (start/stop) other modules also.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I should also mention that I am trying to keep all
of the modules in this project as simple as possible.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards,</FONT></DIV>

the SN76489 a few weeks ago was really my *first* dumb question ;
)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
