The TAP (Project #5, July 16)
At a time when powerful processors are so cheap and much of their functionality left unused in a typical application, it’s delightful to look back to hobbyist electronics projects from forty years ago, and admire the optimised design and the skill of those who created them. In the first edition of Elektor magazine in English, December 1974, appeared a lovely touch-activated circuit. We've re-created it for the enjoyment of those who may appreciate the elegance of the design today.

Harking back to an old Boldport project, which harks back to a 1974 Elektor article .. and the main IC (7400 NAND gate) is still available! My full build notes are in the LittleArduinoProjects repo.

TAP Elektor Article and Schematic
Contributed by @boldport on Jul 5, 2016
The functionality of the circuit is comprehensively and beautifully explained in the original article
from Elektor magazine in English, December 1974.
Here is the article as a PDF, and it’s really worth reading.
Here is the schematic I re-created for the board.
