integrated circuit - Replacements for a 4006 IC?


Im building a Nintendo 64 to PC adapter as outlined in this guide. It calls for two 4006 ICs. RadioShack did not have this type, but I was told the following two would work: LM339 or a LM324. Will either of those suffice for the project mentioned above?



Answer



Don't listen to these RadioShack guys, giving such advise is a shame to the shop!



The alternative devices you mention are entirely different. The 4000-series are digital devices and 4006 specifically is a digital shift register, both LM's are analog devices called comparator and opamp repectively. These 4006 chips are pretty standard and shouldn't be too hard to find in a decent electronics shop.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
