Hi, Guys
I'm trying to build a circuit using 4017's and 555's that can produce a 36 LED sequencer that starts with LED # 1 and stays ON all the way to LED #6 and then turns OFF LED # 1 and Turns ON LED # 7 and so forth all the way until LED 36, all of these arranged in a clock fashion mantaining always 6 LED's on at the same time. Kind of looking like a worm advancing in a circular fashion.
The main problem I'm trying to solve is having it go 3 times clockwise and then reverse direction and repeat this procedure counter-clockwise. So far I have been succesful with one way using 6 4017's but cannot find a way to count 36x3 and then reverse direction.
Does anyone have experience with sequencers that can show me a quick trick? Or even better a diagram? The effect it gives is similar to the "knight Rider" car front grill, except it is arranged in a circular fashion for a very different purpose.
Thanks...
