LED Chaser using IC 74C164: 8 LEDs turn ON one by one, Shut off, then Repeat
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 […]
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 […]
How To Calculate and Connect LEDs in Series and Parallel
In this article I have explained how to calculate LEDs in series and parallel using a simple formula and configure your own personalized LED displays, now you don’t just have to wonder how to wire led lights? but actually can do it, know the details here. These lights are known not only for their dazzling […]
Blinking 3 LEDs (R,G,B) Sequentially Using Arduino Circuit
In this post I have explained how to run or blink three LEDs in sequence using Arduino. The post was written and submitted by: Jack Franko PROGRAM/* make RGB LEDs to blink in series one by one at intervalof 1000MS */ int R = 12;int G = 11;int B = 10;void setup(){ pinMode(R,OUTPUT); pinMode(G,OUTPUT); pinMode(B,OUTPUT);}void […]
How to Illuminate 100 LEDs from 6 Volt Battery
In this article I have explained an innovative way of driving more than a hundred white LEDs from a 6 volt battery. The circuit utilizes the IC 555 for driving a step up transformer, whose output is finally used for illuminating the LEDs. A special PWM configuration makes the circuit much power efficient. Main Stages […]
