Im looking for some guidance to start a project and would like to hear some ideas of how best to get started.
I want to build a 5V, 2 digit C/C, 7 seg. cmos counter that I can quickly scroll both up or down (1-99) possibly by using an endless digital encoder or something similar.
I guess two momentary pushbuttons would be simpler but way clunkier in this application.
This data (the number selected) would be decoded with Arduino by a Teensy 3.1 (in USB MIDI mode) and output into Midi CC data in a Digital Audio Workstation like Reaper.
If thats not possible, or above my level to read the selected data back, I would like the Arduino part of the project to at least run in parallel from the same rotary encoder/rotary switch.
I understand that they may fall out of sync in that case, so a reset mechanism would be ok.
I have the following components in various quantities, but if Im missing something important, that can be easily remedied.
CD 4013, 4093, 4017, 4029, 4511, 4049,
Max 7219,
74HC 164, 165, 595, 4051
SN74 LS47 (7447)
This is my first project with CMOS/logic gates so Im hoping to learn something from this (please keep it as simple as possible)
Any help would be much appreciated about how you guys might choose to go about this first part (the CMOS logic bit).
I found this schematic online here, http://roznerd.blogspot.com/2009/12/2-digit-7-segment-updown-counter.html
but am not sure if it is the right way to go.
thanks for looking,
