Toggling my LED using any remote control

In the previous email, I was able to turn an LED on for one second using any remote control. Today, I expanded on that to toggle it instead.

So press any button once - LED turns ON.
Press any button again - LED turns OFF.
Press any button once again - LED turns ON.
...and so on.

The only change from last time is that I added a JK flip flop on the output. If both the J and the K inputs of a JK flip flop are high when the clock pulse comes, it toggles its output.

I didn't have time to solder and make it work with my electronic candle yet, but it's pretty cool just to be able to control an LED with any remote 😎

I'll continue the project in the show & tell section inside of Ohmify (for members only), but for the curious mind, here's the complete schematic:

Understanding voltage by digging a hole

John is 1.8 meters (6 feet) tall. And in this email I'm going to put him into a hole to show you what negative voltage means. But first, what does it mean that John is 1.8 m tall? Could you find his height by only looking at his head? No. You have to compare the top of his head to the ground he is standing on to be able to find his height. That John is 1.8 m tall really means that the top of his head is 1.8 m higher than the ground that he stands on. It's the same thing with voltage. You can't say anything about the voltage without comparing it to another point. It's common to define a zero point, or "ground", in a circuit. In a simple battery circuit, the ground point is usually the minus terminal of the battery. So if someone says that "this point is 5V", they usually mean it's 5V compared to ground. What is a negative voltage? Back to John. What if we dig a hole of 1.8 meters, then put John into the hole. (Poo...

However, these counter tubes can be difficult to find and expensive; and, even if you do manage to get hold of one, you will still need to find a way to generate its operating voltage of several hundred volts. It is less well known that even a humble photodiode such as the BPW34 can be used to detect X-rays and gamma radiation. more...
