|

Hi guys, I needed 16 digital outputs for my handyboard, so I put up a very simple expansion board the way Fred suggested in his handboard FAQ: I connected two more hc374 with their d-inputs to LCD-display's data bus (d0 - d7). Then I connected the (...) (26 years ago, 12-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
