Two way 12 LED running lights using CD4017 and

NE555
This Two way LED running lights to use for beautiful, this circuit uses 12 LED lamps, arranged in 2 rows, each
row of 6 leds. A green one and a red one, alternatively. use a different color for this.

Technical information
-The power supply of 6-12 VDC.
-Power consumption is about 12 mA maximum
-Have the speed of the flashing.
-PCB dimensions: 2.80 x 1.77 inchs.

How it works
This circuit have 2 IC, IC1-555 is frequency generator, by this frequency can adjust at 10K-potentiometer output of
IC1 through R-100 ohms in to pin 14 of IC-4017. The IC-4017 is Decade counter with 10 decoded outputs IC IC.

In Figure 1 is Two way 12 LED running lights using CD4017 and NE555.

Which its output glowing will slide down each position, by begin from output at 1 is pin 3, 2, 4, 7, 10, 1, 5, 6, 9 and
11 in sequence.
When it to pin 11 the output light will back to pin 3 and continue to glow in sequence each step, by the signal from
IC-555 in circuit. Which we can set output at 6 position then backward glow, by notice at the IC output pin as LED
can reverse run. The 1N4148-Diodes to protects voltage from output to same LED point.

How to builds.
The circuit assembling is shown in Figure 2 should begin low to high parts sequence, for Beautiful and simple. By
begin with diode, resistors and higher. And the parts have different polarity such as Diode,

Testing
To apply a power supply size 9-volts to circuit will see LED glow continue step to step run go and back. And can
adjust speed up by adjust at 10K-potentiometer.
Application
This circuit uses power from 9-12-volts Therefore can install in the car using voltage 12-volts.
