CSCI 232 Lab 1

Getting Started

This lab is intended to get you familiar with the tools you will need for the first 7 labs. You will work in teams of 2 in Fitz 254 and 255.

1. Do the LogicWorks tutorial from pages 45-85 in the LogicWorks handbook. We have 4 manuals, and multiple copies of that section of the book, but you might have to share or wait for someone else to finish before you can get a copy. Fortunately, there are other parts you can be working on. When you finish the tutorial, print out the schematic you created, with a box on it with the project number and your and your partner’s names.

2. Get a C.A.D.E.T. and put your and your partner’s names on it (piece of paper taped to the CADET should work). Measure the 4 voltages out of the power supply and record them on a piece of paper with your names on it. Adjust the variable voltages to be as close to 0 volts as possible. Hook the oscillator to one side of the speaker and hook the other side to ground. Turn the voltage out of the oscillator up as high as possible. Vary the frequency and waveform type and notice how the sound changes.

3. Get a 7408 chip and plug it correctly into the breadboard (straddling the big valley). Hook +5 to pin 14 and ground to pin 7. Hook pins 1 and 2 to switches 1 and 2, and hook pin 3 to LED 1. Verify that it performs the and function, and then show it to me to have me verify and sign off on it.

4. Staple together and turn in the LogicWorks schematic and the paper with your measurements and my initials on it.
