I was particularly enamored over the mechanics of the Quantized Random Voltage function. The thought occurred to me that, instead of having fixed quantization steps for each output of of the 4006 shift register, it might be fun to actually make the voltages adjustable through pots. The Quantized Random Voltage function uses a pseudo-random sequence, which naturally would repeat after so many steps. In order to make the function more random and less pseudo-random, I turned to Ken Stone's gated comparator idea so that a signal input could be used to derive high or low bits in the shift register. I then enabled the register to loop a stored number of high and low bits ad nauseum through a simple switch setup that routed the output of the shift register back to the input.

But, if switches were arranged on the parallel inputs of a CD4034, then one could save any pattern by setting the switches high or low, and one could use the LED display to determine which bits were high or low at any given time. It wasn't until a bit later that the fact dawned on me that the switches could be used to "program" the Klee instead of relying on random data input. This was a watershed moment in how I regarded the Klee Sequencer - random input programming from that point on was really just a small "feature" of the larger Klee functionality. Another vital element introduced by the bit-for-bit parallel outputs of the CD4034 was the ability to apply each of the outputs to its own pot. The original Shift Register Sequencer had only four pots tied to the outputs that processed the sixteen bit register as it cycled through. Klee Breadboard Later On The CD4006 has a much larger internal shift register than the CD4034; the CD4006 shift register can be up to 18 bits long (the Model 1 only used 16 bits of this register) but the CD4034 has only an eight bit shift register.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
