I started on this thread: Make a momentary switch control a toggle Tried all my own research before bothering the community with a question; hope I've done my due diligence.
I found this is one of the answers:
Which is from here
I have 4011s on hand so this is a great solution.
I built it in a simulator on Tinkercad
My parts list:
1 5V Regulator [LM7805],
1 9V Battery,
1 Quad NAND gate [74HC00] (I'll sub a 4011 in the final build),
2 100 kohm Resistor,
1 Red LED,
1 470 ohm Resistor [LED to ground],
1 Pushbutton,
1 1 uF Capacitor [left],
1 0.01 uF Capacitor [right],
Here is the diagram for the 74HC00:
It's a 5v circuit unless the capacitors are changing that so the chip should take it.
The problem that I'm having is that the circled connection is back-feeding 57.3mA when the pin is only rated for 25mA. This also puts the total current throughput at 63.3mA when the max is 50mA. On the diagram this connection is the output of the first [left] nand.
How can I correct my current problem? Sorry for the pun.
Can these be electrolytic capacitors? Because I'm having trouble finding ceramics in 1 uf and 0.01 uf.
Thanks a bunch
