Discrete Logic

What would it take to build an addressable LED like the WS2812 (aka Neopixel) using only discrete transistors? Time for a small “1960 style logic meets modern application” technology fusion project.

Explores analog chaos with Schmitt triggers, filters, and feedback to create Chua-like oscillations on breadboard.

Explores the special transistors that enabled 10 Mhz clock speed in the 1960ies.
