Lesson 37
This is a very important lesson & task.
  1 & 2 are instructions.
3.  It doesn’t matter which one is on. 
4 & 5
I’ve had people consistently get what they think is
  1. “NO MOVEMENT” or 
  2. movement back one 
  3. or forward one. 
Guess what! 
  1. When it looks like it has moved back “1” it has actually moved forward by 9 steps.
  2.  Often, when there is no movement, it jumped forward by 10 steps.
  3.  So, what looks like a single step might also be 11. 
Yes, the 4017 can step forward so quickly that you would not notice any change on the LED.  It is reasonable to say that the steps from a bounce could be in the 10 micro Second (uSec) range.  Ten of those together makes .0001 second.
