hi Steve,Hi there Audioguru, there is confuzion because of my complete lack of understand of how electronics works . Like I said in my last post I understand wiring. Getting the chips right first and asking about LED's + trans is where I got in a muddle.
Any help is always greatfully accepted as long as no one minds putting me right in stages then thats how I'll hopefully learn. Eric has already has been very helpful (with one working circuit) but I lost the plot when it came to LED's coz I haven't got the chips right in my head "yet"
Cheers steve
If you follow the details in our posts 7 thru 14, the circuit will work as we have discussed.
Dont worry about the initial power on reset for the 4017, this a childs 'mobile' toy, not a scientific instrument.
Its unfortunate that someone who has started posting on this thread has not taken the trouble to read whats already been covered in earlier posts.
Eric.
