    6V LED Chaser Question

    My 5 year old nephew got the chaser with the green LEDs I bought from a surplus outfit here in Montreal.  They're green with clear lens but I'm not sure of the rated mcd.  My chaser has red LEDs and they seem a bit dimmer than the green ones, bought bulk without any packaging. The red ones were...

    6V LED Chaser Question

    Thanks! It's been a fun little project, very well laid out and documented by audioguru. "Totally useless but spectacular" I think he said.  I'm returning to electronics after some twenty years and just discovered this 'Manhattan' technique a couple of months ago.  In my younger days I used to do...

Originally I wanted to use a support for the LEDs that...

    I've obtained an 'original' Schmitt trigger chip and replaced the NTE sustitute. This has solved the problem as to the flash rate and pause.  I'll be getting a few more of these chips as I plan to build a few more of these 6v chasers. The 74HC4017 chip is on backorder.  I can't wait to see just...

    6V LED Chaser Question

    Hello all, My first post, and my second project from this site (the first one being the transistor tester), returning to electronics after, oh maybe 20 years off. I've built this chaser and with the given component values I'm getting a 10 second pause instead of a 1 second pause, I also had to...
