Who would have thought that a circuit comprising only two 2-input NAND gates could be so complicated (or, should we say, “interesting”)? Up to this point (click here to see my earlier columns), the ...

The JK flip-flop augments the behavior of the SR flip-flop (J = Set, K = Reset) by interpreting the J = K = 1 condition as a “flip” or toggle command. In my previous column, we introduced latches and ...

What’s the weirdest computer you can think of? This one’s weirder. [Dr. Cockroach] figured out a way to create an inverting NOT gate from just one LED and two resistors (one being a photo-resistor).

The screen of NandGame looks like this. We will install a NAND gate on the purple board and build a new circuit. The explanation of the circuit to be assembled is written on the left. The language can ...
