Hi Mike - I tried what I believe you said to do, and it is not working (I get a solid string of 1's). Does it matter if I don't use all five of the remaining buffers on the 4049? I've attached a schematic of my shift register pcb's - I've been attaching the buffered clock line from the 4049 to the CLK pin on the right side of the pcb's. Also, the circuit for the 4049 has no resistors or caps on it - do there need to be any?
Thanks for all your help!
