leds light up circuit needed?

[cestudent]

hello guys
how r u all?

am a new member here . i have a problem which i want to light up for example : 4 leds one by one " led1 on then led2 on ...." like this . i dont know how to do that . can anyone plz help with the circuit design coz i need it for my project
coz am doing lift project and i want these leds light up with the movement of the lift ?

If you just want a strip of 4 lights to light in sequence then have a look at the CMOS 4017. Connect outputs 1-4 to the LEDs and then link output 5 to the reset. Use a 555 timer or a crystal oscillator for the clock input

**broken link removed** theres a starting point

A CD4017 can show LEDs sequencing one way directly and sequencing the other way through diodes.

if you do not mind being limited to 5 lamps

One CD4017 with diodes can light 6 LEDs back and forth.
More CD4017 ICs can be cascaded and with many more diodes to drive many more LEDs.

thank u " ormo , Ubergeek63 & audioguru" for ur help

but i have a question , can i control this chip with Pic with up/down sequence??

This is a Cylon / Knight Rider LED sequence written for my Junebug kit.
It flashes 6 charlieplexed LEDs using a PIC18F1320
