Project 5 - Frequency Counter
Incorrect pin numbers on PIC


Problem:
On page 119, the connections between the PIC and the 74LS47 chip are incorrect.

Solution:
The correct connections are:
  • Pin 15 of the PIC should be connected to pin 7 of the 74LS47
  • Pin 16 of the PIC should be connected to pin 1 of the 74LS47
  • Pin 17 of the PIC should be connected to pin 2 of the 74LS47
  • Pin 18 of the PIC should be connected to pin 6 of the 74LS47
  • (Pin 14 of the PIC should be connected to pin 5 of the 74HC00)
