I am having trouble getting these two binary counters to work properly. I am not getting the output as expected.
I have the Vcc connected to a 5V power supply and having the reset output connected to the Vcc to reset the counter and then I wire it to the common ground for 0. When I input my clock pulses, I am not getting the output as expected. After the first clock pulse, I will get an output of 110 or some other number that is not 1. The same thing happens when I input a 2nd clock pulse, the output is some random number.
I am inputting the clock pulses manually (as in I have a wire in the clock input and place it in the Vcc and then remove it, the oscilloscope is showing a clean pulse output). I have also tried using a function generator for the clock pulses, but the same thing happens.
Why is the counter not counting as it should? Am I missing something?
