i called my local electornics store(biggest in city) and they dont sell 1mhz oscillators, only 4mhz. they said to use a logic divider or TTL circuit to lower the freqency. how do i build one of these? | ||

Of course you could just buy one here. Radio Shack sells some wonderful little books by Forrest Mims III that show you how to build quick little circuits like the divider you asked for. The books are widely available at bookstores as well. | ||

O. radio shack dosn't have any books, so i went to the library and got the most compleate book on electronics(basic electonics 6th ed. by bernard grob) there are no logic dividers in there. i cant find any circuits in books or on the web. do you know a site with one? i cant buy your, or any others, parts from the web becouse im only 14, so no credit card. also shipping and the CAN$ to US$ exchange is out ragious! thanks for all your help and progects! | ||

Did you look up Forrest Mims III when you were in the library? His books are popular and widely available. Radio Shack used to carry dozens of his books. Now I only find these two items with books he wrote: here. But Amazon.com carries several: here here here here here here here here here here here here here and there are more... | ||

The effort it takes to build a soldering iron is not worth the money it takes to buy one, go to your nearest eletronic's store and browse around, here where I live you can get a 15-20w iron for $15-$20, but don't forget to buy some solder too. Check out http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/solder.htm for tips on getting started soldering. | ||
