Sure, let’s create a detailed plan to verify the functionality of your project. Below is a table outlining each step:

Table

Step	Action	Description	Expected Result	Testing Method
1	Visual Inspection	Check connections and PCB layout for any visible errors or misconnections.	No visible mistakes	Use a magnifying glass to inspect the PCB
2	Power Connection Test	Connect the 3V battery to BATT1.	Verify power supply voltage is correct.	Measure voltage at Net 1 points $\text{(BATT1:+)}$ . Expected 3V DC
3	Continuity Test	Check continuity between ground points $\text{(GND net)}$	Continuous path between all ground points	Using a multimeter, check continuity from one GND point to all other GND points
4	Initial Power On	Power on the circuit by ensuring BATT1 is connected and SW1 is pressed.	The circuit should power on	Verify with a multimeter on VCC pin of U1, expecting 3V
5	Switches Test	Test each switch individually $\text{(SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5)}$	Monitor the corresponding nets for expected signals
6	Logic IC Functionality Check	Validate SN74LS76AN J-K Flip-Flop $\text{(U1)}$ functionality	Verify output change with each switch press	Connect an oscilloscope to Q outputs of U1 and monitor for changes
7	Resistor Check	Verify that all resistors $\text{(R1 through R6)}$ are within specified tolerance	Resistance should match specified values 220Ω ± tolerance	Measure resistance with a multimeter across each resistor
8	Diode Test	Verify diode $\text{(D1)}$ behavior	Forward voltage drop should be around 0.7V	Use diode test mode on a multimeter
9	Overall Functionality Test	Combine all elements to ensure the circuit works as expected	Circuit operates as designed	Monitor with oscilloscope and multimeter, pressing buttons and observing changes in output signals
10	Debugging	If any step fails, debug accordingly	Identify and fix issues	Use schematics, datasheets, and logical reasoning to track issues

Detailed Steps Description:

Visual Inspection
- Verify solder joint quality.
- Ensure there are no short circuits or open circuits by visually tracing routes.
Power Connection Test
- Connect BATT1 and measure output at Net 1 with a multimeter.
Continuity Test
- Use a continuity tester or multimeter to ensure all ground points are connected properly.
Initial Power On
- Power the circuit, ensuring the battery is connected.
- Measure the voltage at U1:VCC, confirming it receives 3V.
Switches Test
- Press each switch $\text{(SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4, SW5)}$ .
- Ensure corresponding resistors and nets reflect the expected behavior.
Logic IC Functionality Check
- Connect oscilloscope probes to U1 outputs $\text{(pins Q and Q)}$ .
- Press the switches and observe the flip-flop behavior.
Resistor Check
- Measure resistance across each resistor with a multimeter.
Diode Test
- Measure the forward voltage drop with a multimeter set to diode mode.
Overall Functionality Test
- Power the entire circuit and observe it in operation.
- Use oscilloscope and multimeter for detailed signal tracing and verification.
Debugging

If a test step fails, use schematics and datasheets to trace potential issues.
Rework any failed solder joints or replace faulty components as necessary.

@copilot Check that all reset/enable have an external pull-up or pull-down resistors. Report action items in an ordered list.

copilot

In your project, the SN74LS76AN comprises various reset (SD, CD) and enable pins which may require external pull-up or pull-down resistors to ensure proper operation, avoiding floating states. Based on the given connections, let’s verify the requirements for each applicable pin and determine necessary actions.

Reset/Enable Pins and Their Connections in Your Project:

U1 (SN74LS76AN)
- Pin 2 (SD): Connected to Net 7.
  - Net 7 Members:
    - SW4:$P2$
    - R5:$P1$
    - U1:$SD$
- Pin 3 (CD): Connected to Net 8.
  - Net 8 Members:
    - SW5:$P2$
    - U1:$CD$
    - R6:$P1$

Based on this information, let's check the presence of pull-up or pull-down resistors.

Actions to Ensure Correct Behavior:

Pin 2 (SD):
- Current Condition: SD is connected to Net 7, which includes SW4, R5, and U1. R5 acts as a pull-down resistor with a value of 220 Ω.
- Action Item: No further action required for SD as it already has a pull-down resistor.
Pin 3 (CD):
- Current Condition: CD is connected to Net 8, which includes SW5, R6, and U1. R6 acts as a pull-down resistor with a value of 220 Ω.
- Action Item: No further action required for CD as it already has a pull-down resistor.

Summary Action Items:

Double-check for correct installation of R5 (220 Ω pull-down) connected to SD (pin 2).
Double-check for correct installation of R6 (220 Ω pull-down) connected to CD (pin 3).

You may proceed by verifying and ensuring the resistors (R5 and R6) are correctly installed on your PCB layout in Flux. Ensure that the connections are secure, and there are no unintended open circuits or floating states for SD and CD pins.
