...
so im building a simple light chaser circuit out of a 4017 counter and
555 timer. the 555 timer circuit works. my problem is with thr 4017.
according to several schematics ive seen...and behavior in electronics
workbench/multisim, connecting the reset to output q4 causes the chip
to reset when q4 fires.
real-life behavior i different. if reset is connected to anything
except just ground, all it'll do is blink the first led.
any suggestions?
You're resetting from the wrong end of the counter.
