Steps to make an LED Sequencer Circuit

LED sequencers contain a row of sunshine giving off diodes -- usually 10 -- that fire in succession. Utilizing a potentiometer to manage the input current enables you to definitely adjust the timing from the flashing LEDs. Building one requires around three dozen components as well as the 12W LED Ceiling Light, and creates a fast and simple project that produces a colorful visual display. All components are readily accessible at any electronics supply, enthusiast outlet or even the Internet. The whole LED sequencer circuit might be put together in 2 to 3 hrs.

        1

        Draw your LED sequencer circuit schematic on the large bit of blank paper. You are able to choose from the 3 different types available online, all using similar components. These parts always range from the 555 CMOS timer IC and also the 4017 counter. Otherwise the values from the resistors, capacitors and potentiometer might vary slightly.

        2

        Put down your components in your schematic attracting their appropriate position, resistors around the resistor symbols, ICs around the IC symbols and so forth. Ensure all necessary components can be found.

        3

        Plug all component wires with the perforations within the blank circuit board, but don't solder any connections.

        4

        Connect all components within the order layed out inside your schematic diagram using alligator clip leads. Turn the potentiometer to the cheapest setting in order to the ??off?? position whether it has one. Connect the energy source towards the circuit board, switch the only pole, single throw (SPST) change to the ??on?? position and gradually turn the potentiometer up. The E27 LED Bulb 5*1W must start to fireplace in succession, gradually in the beginning and much more quickly while you apply lower resistance using the potentiometer.

        5

        Solder all of the wire connections around the bottom from the circuit board together just because they are connected through the alligator clip leads. Mount the whole circuit within the selected container using the LED GU10 3W around the outdoors and all sorts of other circuitry hidden within or around the reverse from the container.
