Referring to the following chaser circuit diagram below, we can see a low-frequency, astable oscillator circuit, made up of two gates, IC1a and IC1b, from the IC 4011 quad two-input NAND gate. The operating frequency of this astable is determined by the values of C1 and R11. This circuit configuration works well as a clock-pulse […]
Chaser
Diwali, Christmas 220V Lamp Chaser Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple, compact, 220V, 120V transformerless light chaser circuit which can be used for illuminating 220 V mains operated lamps or bulbs in a sequential chasing manner. Main Technical Features The chasing or running lamp effect can be altered by means of pot controls. The system can be used […]
10 Simple LED Chaser Circuit Diagrams Explained [Knight Rider, Scanner, Reverse-Forward, Cascaded]
In this article I have explained the construction of 10 interesting yet simple LED chaser circuits, which not only create beautiful running light effect but are also easy to build. We also discuss how to modify these into a design popularly known as “knight rider” chaser circuit. These primarily incorporate LEDs as well as mains […]
LED Chaser Circuit using IC 74LS164: LEDs illuminate in Bar Mode then Shut off together or one by one
This circuit is actually a little more advanced LED chaser scanner circuit using two 74LS164 Shift Register ICs together with one NE555 Timer, and yep the light effect looks somewhat similar to those old Knight Rider or Mustang scanner lights which move from sides toward center. The LEDs are arranged in two strips, or sometimes […]
