Welcome to another blog, hope you guys are doing good….
This blog is going to be interesting so stay tuned. In this blog I will show you how to make an LED chaser for your home decoration.
Components RequiredLED
- LED
555 Timer IC
- 555 Timer IC
CD4017 IC
- CD4017 IC
Preset 10KΩ
- Preset 10KΩ
Resistor (220Ω, 1KΩ)
- Resistor (220Ω, 1KΩ)
Capacitor 22µF
- Capacitor 22µF
The preset connected to 555 Timer IC will create a PWM signal whenever we rotate the knob of the preset. And this signal will feed to the CD4017 IC which will trigger our LED.
As we have seen, the Circuit Diagram and the Working principle are like bread and butter. So without further delay see how to design it.
Circuit ConnectionThe circuit Diagram is very easy just follow the above diagram and boom it’s done.
Hurrah our LED chaser is ready. But it seems messy, kind of buzzy. So to solve this problem we have designed PCB according to our uses. Now you must be wondering how we can design PCBs as we need. Here I am going to show you how you can purchase your own PCB.
Ordering PCB from JLCPCB
Ordering PCb from JLCPCBis quite simple and easy.
You just have to add your gerber file (max upto 6 layers), select layer and add to cart then checkout securely and the sum. That's it no your designed PCB is at your doorstep.
This is the glimpse of PCB we have ordered for our convenience.
Do the soldering according to the circuit diagram. And thats it our LED chaser is ready.
On the above picture we see that how we can controll the speed of the chaser by rotating the nob of the oreset.
Thats it for today….
See you on another intresting project….
