 In this lab you will do some experimentation with flip flops to learn how they operate. ​ You will create a single-bit loadable register, a 4-bit loadable register, and a counter. In this lab you will do some experimentation with flip flops to learn how they operate. ​ You will create a single-bit loadable register, a 4-bit loadable register, and a counter.

-Here are some ideas for personal exploration in this laboratory:+Choose one of the following ​for personal exploration in this laboratory:
   * Make your counter wider and wire up to additional LEDs.   * Make your counter wider and wire up to additional LEDs.
   * Wire in a copy of your 7-segment decoder from last week and have the 4-bit counter value displayed on the 7-segment display. ​ By the way, this is way cooler than just making your counter wider... ​ :-)   * Wire in a copy of your 7-segment decoder from last week and have the 4-bit counter value displayed on the 7-segment display. ​ By the way, this is way cooler than just making your counter wider... ​ :-)
