* Isopods have 7 pairs of legs all pretty much the same length.

* 74** logic gates have ... 7 pairs of legs all the same length!

Coincidence? I think not!

Clearly, each isopod contains 4 logic gates. This Armadillidium vulgare has 4 AND gates. Don't forget to connect power & ground legs & use pull-down resistors on inputs.

(best practice is to simply ask the rollie to position itself in your circuit.)

Like most natural systems. they use micro-voltages, don't use standard 5V power sources.

@futurebird eagerly awaiting low powered schottky pill bugs

@Tedspence @futurebird Does anyone else remember Mr Rodger’s show doing an entire story (a musical if I recall) about pill bugs?

I’m convinced this is a real memory and not a fever dream.

@MattO @Tedspence @futurebird no i don't remember.
I NEED to watch it if that exists.

@CatHat @Tedspence @futurebird
FWIW I’m not crazy (in this specific instance). It is an opera and it stars potato bugs and cows.
