Rotary LED Blinker

        • Rotary LED Blinker

1 Introduction

Basic digital circuit can start with 555 time

image

While CD4017 Decade counter can drive 10 output  and it can count from 0 to 10 with internal logic

The output waveform shall be,

2 Schematic Drawing

When NE555 time give timer pluse, the CD4017 can drive the LED on the ring one by one. Here is the schematic drawing.

image

 

3 PCB and Design

Here is the final result for the PCB and design. NE555 in SOP8 and CD4017 in SOP16

image

4 Summary

Q1~Q4 are thyristor to allow wider range of input voltage, this part is not show in shematics. D1 is inverted signal for D1~D10 around the ring.

This make the leds blink around the ring  one by one.

    This is first part of my build. Try Digital Function like LUT of Cypress PSoC 4200 with similar function is the next one, on same LED ring array. I have better idea with SMD welding, try heating plate…

    Great explanation of how it works, thanks. Those practice soldering kits are really nice to try soldering the tiny smd parts, aren't they? Did you get yours to work? What is the voltage it should run on…

    The SMD soldering practice boards are cheap to buy but teach quite a bit on soldering.

     

    Element14 should make some custom branded ones to give out.

     

    Perhaps, so that the passives spell out "E14"?

    I bought one too, but haven't had the time to assemble it yet. I always think I'll have lots of time during winter!

    So it will look like this a little longer image
