I built a clock that uses a quartz crystal to produce a frequency of 32 768hz, this number is 2^15 so it can be reduced to 1 second pulses if divided by 2 - 15 times making a very accurate clock

My goal is to use the least amount of chips to divide, each chip is capable of diving by 10 therefore I have successfully built a circuit that uses 5 chips each dividing by 8 to get a one second pulse

32768/8/8/8/8/8 = 1

Question: is there a combination that uses 4 or less chips to reduce 32,768 to 1? Each chip is capable of dividing by a max of 10


try prime factorization. i don't think it does.

Wow! :D Awesome!

Definetely post pics of that project! :bouncy:

once my programming teacher told us he built an electrick clock out of parts and it only used 10 Ampers...
The half of the three hundred seat room gasped or laughed up :rofl: the other half remain silent.
Then he told: "Now we know wich half of the group came from electric schools!" :lol:
