Hello again, Electronics Point!
Hope you all are doing just fine today.
I have another circuit now. The main components are two flip-flops with basic on/off inputs, and two AND logic gates. The actual circuit I built is made up of BJTs, but drawing that diagram would be very time-consuming.
Flip-Flop 1's output ALWAYS defaults to on when I turn on the circuit. That way, only one output will be on at a time. The problem with this circuit, as you might notice, is that if I send an input signal, the flip-flop output pins will oscillate on and off altenatively until the input goes low. I want to slow this oscillation down to about 0.5s or 0.8s, which is a little bit more than the time the input will be high for. The voltage source is +5V, from USB power.
I assume the solution would involve adding a capacitor somewhere. I'm not very experienced with the use of capacitors. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT 2: Maybe I could delay the On signals for each Flip-Flop for a little longer than the input high time. I don't know if building a delay circuit from jellybean components is easy, though.
