Creating a 4-Cycle Counter in Digital Logic

AI Thread Summary
A user seeks assistance in creating a 4-cycle counter that outputs a 1 every fourth clock cycle, expressing difficulty with truth tables and digital logic concepts. They attempted to create a truth table but encountered issues, particularly with the state transitions. The user mentions confusion regarding Karnaugh maps due to multiple values for the same state. Ultimately, they indicate that they have resolved their issue independently. This highlights the challenges beginners face in understanding digital logic design.

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but here's my question. I have to create a counter that outputs a 1 every 4th clock cycle. I can't make a truth table because it doesn't really make sense. I am a newb to digital logic and suck at it. Any one have any help.
Thanks

Moved to homework forums. And yes, a truth table or state table would be a good start...
 
truth table doesn't work

I tryed a truth table and i was having problems with it.
present Next state
Q1 Q0 | Q1 Q0
0 0 | 0 0
0 0 | 0 0
0 0 | 0 1
0 1 | 0 0

So when I make the Karnaugh maps will have two values for 0 0. My teacher didnt really go over this well and the book has no help. So I am stuck at this point. What am I doing wrong?
 
got the answer nevermind
