Also this.

LOOK AT HOW SMOOVE THAT SHIT IS.

your just being silly. all that picture shows is EMI causing noise on the signal.

That's true. And in this case digital is superior because we haven't lost the low/high signal, but the analog is all fuzzed up.

thats true if your transmitting serial data. as in bit depth of 1. 1 bit. so no I dont think that has anything to do with it. but it does prove that expensive HDMI cables are a scam.

Yes.
Also I'm used to digital logic levels, so not even serial communication, just whether the pin is high or low. And debouncing that stuff.
Had a long talk the other night at the Makerspace about building things back in the day from quad-NAND gate chips, like adders, multiplexers, even a tiny 4-bit CPU for one class project that was a huge rat's nest of wires.
I hate to say those were my glory days
Nowadays we just throw an Arduino on there and we have millions times more possibilities than if we had tried to do something with discrete chips.

the new hipster term is lunetta. its a lot of fun but I haven't got past the 555/556 yet. my sequencer chips were SMD when they arrived
here is probably the most comprehensive source of information

We recently built a Cacophonator at the MKE Makerspace, which is a bunch of hex inverter logic chips. Sounds crazy.
