🔬 Binary Counter!
CD4510Counts up or down from 0 to 9, and can be set to start counting from any number you choose.
Let's use an IC called CD4510 to build a circuit that counts in binary! It will receive an input from 2 buttons and output the current count.
- 'Add' increases the count by 1.
- 'Reset' clears the count back to 0.
The output of the current count will be displayed on 4 LEDs as a binary number. An LED turned ON represents 1, while an LED turned OFF represents 0.
Schematic
Once you're done, your breadboard circuit should look something like this:

Now, click the 'Add' button and see how the count is displayed in binary!
