stable clock timer..for a different LED clock

[k7elp60]

Well the 4024 is a 7 stage binary counter. Assuming the input of 50 to 60 cps is going to pin 1. The output on pin 4 is a divide by 64.
With 60 hz clock frequency the output would be
0.9375 hz. The clock won't be very accurate.
But the time base should be fine

if not good enough is there something better? different pin out or better to have different chip all together??<p>not too famillar with this chip or how it works..maybe the 7 stages can be better set up? or?

if pin 4 is a divide by 64..what are the other pins divide by? i'd like to learn more about how this works...<p>still look for a simple time base that will be accurate if this is not best to use...

The 4024 is strictly a binary divider,and not suitable for dividing 50 or 60hz down to 1hz for a clock.
With a frequency as an input of pin 1 the outputs are as follows:
pin 12 input/2
pin 11 input/4
pin 9 input/8
pin 4 input/16
pin 5 input/32
pin 4 input/64
pin 3 input/128
From your previous posts you are concerned about
power failures, so you probably do not want a
line freqency clock. Your best bet is a crystal controlled clock.<p>If you give me a way to contact you, I just happen to have a clock module that will do what you want. It is assembled and tested. The PCB is about 2" square and works on 5 to 18VDC. It has outputs of 60hz,10hz and 1hz.
