This is an extremely simplistic example, but I used the 4013 to create latching pushbuttons in a module I called "manual gate".

The module has four momentary switches, so it outputs a gate when you press (and hold) a momentary switch. I use the flipflops to hold state so that instead when you press a momentary switch, the output signal simply toggles (from on to off or vice versa) and then holds that state until you press the momentary switch again to toggle it.

The trick is to run \Q back to D, and use the momentary switch as the clock -- when the user presses the momentary, they clock the next bit in to the latch. In this mode it is essentially working as a divide-by-two clock divider.

This is also not a bad chip brought more or less straight out to the panel. Experiment with different clock speeds into the CLK and DATA pins, maybe throw something at SET or/and RESET too, and listen to one of the outputs.

If you really have a lot of them you could build your own shift register, flip-flop by flip-flop, as long as you like! (connect output of one flip-flop into data of next) or combine with a proper shift reg chip to get the right number of bits/taps for a maximal linear feedback shift register...

Likewise, you could build your own binary counter out of a bunch of these: connecting NOT-Q to DATA (like Corex' example) gives a square wave at Q which has half the frequency of the signal at CLK (use this to clock the next flip-flop for division by 4, then 8, and so on...)

This chip isn't amazing, but playing with it is a good way to see how flip flops work, and so how other chips which are basically combinations of flipflop logic work too

Thanks Trav! Hoping to try some of this in a few days!
