Hi,
I'm pretty new to electrical stuff and I am trying to make a clock. I was wondering what is the most sufficient way to get a 1Hz pulse from a SN74HC4060 chip? On the datasheet on page 6 there is a diagram that I am using where you use two resistors and a capacitor and it gives you an equation to determine the values of them. My question is should I solve the equation for a frequency of 1Hz or should I solve it for something like 32Hz and then use an oscilloscope to figure out which output gives you 1 Hz and then wire my CLK pins from my counters to the 1Hz output?
Here is the datasheet: https://www.electro-tech-online.com/custompdfs/2008/12/sn74hc4060.pdf
Thanks for any help you can give me.
