After trying to build my first NAND gate SR Flip Flop circuit using a **broken link removed** chip, I came in to weird problems last night. I basically had a small LED placed on Q' to show me if that side of the circuit worked or not, however, my problems were a bit weird. What I noticed would happen is, as I would get my hand near the circuit or any of the wires, the LED would come on or off. Could this be due to static discharge? When using a NAND gate, and it requires 5 V input, can it be plugged in directly to a 5 V source or am I missing something?
