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.

* 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.
