The Baseball Scoreboard Objectives
OBJECTIVES
The baseball scoreboard calls for a counter to count STRIKES and BALLS. Therefore we
need a counter to count up to 2 strikes and 3 balls before resetting. Also we need to take into
account, that if either counter resets then it also triggers a reset of the other counter . The
design of a baseball scoreboard works as follows : balls and strikes represented as 3 green
led for the strike result and 2 red balls for a ball result(which means that the thrower get the
ball out);If the thrower strikes the ball one of the green led lights on ,and if a he strikes out a
ball result or a red led lights on , when one of the 3 green led or the 2 red led lights on the
. fourth strike or the third ball respectively is scored the scoreboard resets
The recycling function is accomplished by using an AND & OR gate in the circuit,
when both counter output signals go low at the same time, this triggers a high to the
CLR input of both counters. This logic circuit will be an asynchronous recycling
system because the counts will change frequently. This counting logic circuit will be
.manually triggered with a push button for balls and another push button for strikes

In order to function the scoreboard, we need an equipment that registers an input, delivers
an output, counts, stores in a memory, and resets. The most suitable integrated circuit for
our experiment is the Synchronous 4-Bit Up/Down Binary Counters With Dual Clock and
Clear (74193), with a 555 counter timer , we will be using two chips of 74193 because we are
counting 2 separated counts , with a need of electronic components that controls the circuit
as capacitors, resistors, and other ICs for the recycling function that is accomplished in the
.baseball scoreboard by using AND and OR GATES
IC: an electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, which 74193
.performs the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components
IC : Quad 2-Input AND Gates, This device contains four independent gates each of 7408
.which performs the logic AND function
IC : Quad 2-Input OR Gates , This device contains four independent gates each of which 7432
.performs the logic OR function
A 555 timer is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and
oscillator applications. The 555 can be used to provide time delays, as an oscillator, and as a
.flip-flop element. Derivatives provide two (556) or four (558) timing circuits in one package
WIRES : Electrical wiring is an electrical installation of cabling and associated devices such as
.switches, distribution boards, sockets and light fittings in a structure
