Can you use 10 leds
"that funny american car we never heard of". well… unsubscribed, channel reported, video reported. and i will hire some rusian hacker to bring it down. just joking… really?
Modified Pontiac TransAm, I think.
Can you build a Knight Rider Scanner circuit using 2 of the 4017 chips interconnected to each other to operate 8 L.E.D.'s?
thanks you bro
nice video .😍😍
I’m sloooowly gathering dip ICs for such times. And well pretty much anything to run them.
Basically I’m Starting New after the loss of my twin. Love your work, Nice walking around this subject. Thank you.
Great video! Where do you get the plastic box’s from?
A trans Am
Try removing chips from sockets with a needle nose pliers.
you probably dont have the Knight Rider Bar, but be cool to see you hook up your circuit to the bar!
I know this is a couple of years old now but it seems to me that using all those resistors from the ic's output pins would mean confliction! Why not use small signal diodes (1N4148) at the points where you are doubling up and place a single resistor from the LED cathodes to ground.
HI MATE can this be done with 17 leds? noob here my leds have resistors already on i have 4017 and 555
is it possible for a noob diagram on how to do? many thx
I made the elektor's circuit only with leds without the 12v car bulbs somewhere around the '80s but as i remember it was way too complex using binary counter,up/down latch flip flop and a binary to decimal chip.The price of 4000 chip series was expensive enough and the sellers warped the chips in aluminum foils to prevent electrostatic damage.The circuit is the easiest it could be.Very nice.
There are still simple Knight-Rider electronic kits on the market that have 10 Outputs. You can reduce the amount of outputs when connecting the Reset Input on the next output that you don't need. For example: If you want to use only 7 Outputs, then you have to connect the Reset-pin to the 8th output.
Such a Kight Rider circuit use an Oscillator build of a NAND CMOS Chip, an up/down BCD counter and a BCD to decimal decoder with 10 decoded outputs. These Outputs are connected to 10 transistors to drive 12V Halogen Bulbs or something else.
