Fastest Finger First - This project describes a "Fastest Finger First" system that is cheap to build, has high noise immunity, is reliable and is also extensible. Note that whilst the schematic below may look complicated, its actually a very simple & cheap interlock based round a single 4013 dual d-type flip-flop and an output driver that is replicated for each positionin this example, 8 times. The buzzer is also optional and can be omitted, along with all its associated components. The few extra resistors & capacitors used for improving the noise immunity are very cheap but improve the reliability of the design greatly. i.e. it's a proper design rather than a hack! __ Designed by Nick de Smith
