Knight Rider Circuit

Knight Rider Circuit
• 1 x 555 Timer IC

This is a highly stable integrated circuit that can produce accurate time
delays and oscillations. The 555 Timer has three operating modes,
bistable, monostable and astable mode. The 555 Timer IC in this project
is configured as an Astable Multivibrator.
 • 1 x CD4017 Decade Counter IC

The CD4017 is  a CMOS Decade counter IC. CD4017 is used for low range
counting applications. It can count from 0 to 10 (the decade count). The
circuit designed by using  this ic  will save board spacand also time required
to design the circuit. 
 • Potentiometer
A potentiometer is a three terminal resistor  in which the resistance is manually varied
to control the flow of electric current.
Increasing or decreasing the resistance of the potentiometer controls the flow of
electric current. If we increase the resistance of the potentiometer, large amount of
electric current is blocked and only a small amount of electric current is allowed. On
the other hand, if we reduce the resistance of the potentiometer, a large amount of
electric current is allowed and only a small amount of electric current is blocked.
 • Resistors

The main purpose of a resistor is to maintain specified values of

voltage and current in an electronic circuit. A Resistor works on
the principle of Ohm's law and the law states that the voltage across
the terminals of a resistor is directly proportional to the current
flowing through it. The unit of resistance is Ohm.
 • Diodes

Working Principle of Diode. A diode's working principle depends on the

interaction of n-type and p-type semiconductors. It is an
electrical component that allows the flow of current in only one direction.

 • 470uF Capacitors

These are high quality NIC 470uF, 16V radial leaded miniature
aluminum electrolytic capacitors.
These capacitors are frequently used for low frequency filtering,
providing power supply bulk capacitance, charge pumps, energy
storage and similar applications where you need a lot of
capacitance.

Solar system circuit
 • Solar panel

Solar panels are those devices which are used to absorb the sun's rays and
convert them into electricity or heat.
A solar panel is actually a collection of solar (or photovoltaic) cells, which
can be used to generate electricity through photovoltaic effect. These cells are
arranged in a grid-like pattern on the surface of solar panels.
Also, solar panels are installed outdoors as they need sunlight to get charged.
