That will work for a little while, but if they're fed from a common power source, they will very likely eventually sync up. Google "injection locking". -Dave On 8/5/20 7:59 PM, Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
There is a cool program that I run on my pidp8 called deeper thought that could be put into a raspberry pi. Or just set up some caps and resistors that vary, with a 555 time to generate some random like effect Bill

Since the human brain likes to find patterns, I suspect that
pure random numbers are nowhere as satisfying as some patterns.
Has anyone done research on that?
Of course, I'll have multiple modes such as Conway's Life,
counting in various ways, ring counters, etc.
