bobleny Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 My teacher said I should make a truth table for this (Not as an assignment) but I have no idea how to make a truth table for this circuit.Could someone give me a template or tell me how I could do it?Thanks!--------------------------------------------I figure one of these will work for you! They are all of the same image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Are you sure the teacher didn't say "timing diagram" and not "truth table"? 4017 is a decade counter.MP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobleny Posted October 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 I know he said truth table. What this whole thing is supposed to do is create the illusion of random lights turning on and off. So, he said to make a truth table to see how random it actually is......So, maybe he meant "timing diagram", but I don't know what that is...

bobleny Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I don't know if it is even possible to draw a truth table for this!??I've been thinking about it, and yeah, I'm not sure if it is possible. lol Well, at least I can't figure it out....

audioguru Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 It is not difficult to make a chart of the sequences of the LEDs in the circuit.A CD4017 steps forward one step each time its input goes positive. It makes one output go positive during a step.Start the chart by resetting all the CD4017's so that each one has its "0" output high and that LED turned on. Then let the 555 oscillate which makes the "00" CD4017 step its sequence, and its outputs cause the CD4017's connected to its outputs to step through their sequences.
