Day 1

1) 4 Bit Asynchronous Up counter using IC 7476

2) Monostable Timer using 555 Ic for 1 Sec.

R = 90KΩ ; C = 10uF
Day 2
1) 2 digit counter using CD4026 with 7 Segment display
2) Count pulse per second using AND gate and give the pulse to CLK of
CD4026.

3) Application Demo

**This Circuit is to boost the current sufficiently to drive the 2-digit counter circuit.

This Circuit output goes to the clock of the 2-digit counter circuit.
4. Code the Arduino for counting the RPM of a Fan and displaying it on an LCD.
Compare this count with an Oscilloscope.
