Hello everyone! I have up to now, only built counters and timers using TTL IC's. I always used a TTL decade counter to drive a 7 segment decoder IC, and from the decoder to the & segment display.
Very foolishy I bought some 4017 counters and 4511 decoders, thinking that the setup would be the same.
I'm used to counters having Q^0, Q^1, Q^2, and Q^3 outputs, which would drive the decoders, but the 4017 has outputs from A to G, which I don't know what to do with.
If the 4017 outputs are already "decoded", I'm totally guessing that I don't need "decoder" IC's (4511), but how the h*ll do you get the 4017 to drive a standard 7 seg display?
Your help would be GREATLY appreciated!
