Legends are only here to see how satisfying this was when components were being attached so precisely & nicely in perfect order with perfect symmetricity.

“Symmetricity”

I know right

[@kennmossman8701]

Just ignore the bad construction method, poor design, poor layout, dismal techniques and lack of explanation.

Your soldering skills are great, you build the circuit like a work of art, well done. I would ad 0.1uF across both switches as I seen at least twice the switches bouncing. Thanks for sharing.

The interesting thing about such a circuit is the fact that you can make the seven segments out of any type light with whatever lights you want. The same circuit can be used to input to the proper segment drivers and will work with billboard size to very small micro size segments... The same logic chip works with them all... Thumbs Up!

I like this circuit alot, I'm wondering how you could attach 3 or 5 more segment blocks (Digits) to make a working clock.

[@kennmossman8701]

don't expect an answer from the creator. I doubt he knows much - he is just copying a circuit. This is a "Look Mommy at what I did" video.

[@garymucher4082]

Look up the chip specs and it will show you how to chain them together...

[@nathanieljames7462]

There's a 'carry over' pin on the IC that you can connect in place of the input button on subsequent copies of the circuit

What gauge of wire is being used for this?

[@MrSnowboarder0]

It's probably 1mm brass wire/tubing

[@yupingliao4078]

If you want to use NE555 as a pulse, you don't need to press the button

[@PeakyBlinder]

[@thequietroom3991]

Have you done a two digit counter at all? I need to repair a scalextric lap counter.

[@adamw.8579]

Use two CD4026 ICs, connect input pulses to first, and from pin 5 to clock second. First will be units counter and second will be tens counter. This IC is not suitable for multiplexed displays. One IC for one digit.

[@castherman396]

Me gusta esta forma didáctica del circuito felicito al ignobador.

[@HypherNet]

This is neat, and good work, but aren't you not supposed to run LEDs in parallel like that? each LED should have it's own resistor, otherwise their brightnesses won't match up, and some will get more current than you want, due to manufacturing differences.

[@danielpitts6913]

I’m glad someone mentioned this. Indeed it’s a very neat project, but the leds each might have slightly different voltage drops, causing basically too much current to go through some. The resisters in place will at least limit the overall current, so nothing is likely to be damaged, but it’s not “good practice” to put diodes like that.

[@Thamstras]

Given that all these wires are totally uninsulated and crossing right next to each other I'd say mis-matched resisters are the least of their problems.

[@kennmossman8701]

I would argue that it is NOT neat nor good work. "Dead bug" style is very prone to breakage, heat damage[while soldering] lead breakage esp of ICs. I use a socket for ICs to prevent heat damage and allow easy replacement. This is what I call a "Look at what I did, Mommy" video; no explanation, nothing educational, no pros/cons discussion, nothing on parameters, etc

[@eitantal726]

that'll be 3x the resistors. But, If your pin gives you 9V, just connect them in series, and have 1x resistor for all 3

[@eitantal726]

@@Thamstras They might be a "transformer wire". These wires come with insulation that boils off when you solder. I think that's the case, because shorts would occur and be noticeable

[@stevebabiak6997]

@@kennmossman8701 - you identified the problem with how this particular video assembled the components. In those old vacuum tube TV sets, a mechanical connection would first be made by wrapping a component lead around a terminal or twisting component leads together; after a mechanical connection was made, only then would solder be applied. The construction methods in this video tend to have cold solder joints besides those joints not having a firm mechanical connection, and hence as you stated vulnerable to breaking.

[@MNSweet]

The novice in me trying to learn, sees this, and gets annoyed that nothing is explained, and it's just here are some values, look what happens. BUT, the former artist in me sees that you have measured and planned out the project, likely with many revisions and it's not meant to be a tutorial; even though the title implies otherwise (that part still annoys me) but a showcase of skill and art. The fact that the capacity is perfectly framed by the resistors leads is says it all.

[@kennmossman8701]

it looks pretty but is not practical and suffers from design problems [amongst other issues]]

[@MNSweet]

@Kenn Mossman my current issue with these types of videos is that I can follow along with the voltage and resistance by watching along but the moment a chip gets involved it's a block box that tells me nothing and it might a well be high end CPU being connected. I want to know how it works, not that it works. Also, if this was meant to be practical, it would have been sent to a PCB and used surface mounted components. Nothing is practical about the brass pipes used.
