Two Way 12 LED Running Lights Using CD4017 and NE555

The document describes a two-way 12 LED running lights circuit using a CD4017 decade counter and NE555 timer IC. The circuit uses 12 LEDs arranged in two rows of 6 with alternating green and red colors. An NE555 generates a frequency that is fed to the CD4017, whose 10 outputs sequentially light the LEDs in order then in reverse order, creating a back-and-forth running light effect. The circuit runs on 9-12V and includes resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, and a potentiometer to adjust the speed.

Two way 12 LED running lights using CD4017 and

NE555
This Two way LED running lights to use for beautiful, this circuit uses 12 LED lamps, arranged in 2 rows, each
row of 6 leds. A green one and a red one, alternatively. use a different color for this.

Technical information
-The power supply of 6-12 VDC.
-Power consumption is about 12 mA maximum
-Have the speed of the flashing.
-PCB dimensions: 2.80 x 1.77 inchs.

How it works
This circuit have 2 IC, IC1-555 is frequency generator, by this frequency can adjust at 10K-potentiometer output of
IC1 through R-100 ohms in to pin 14 of IC-4017. The IC-4017 is Decade counter with 10 decoded outputs IC IC.

In Figure 1 is Two way 12 LED running lights using CD4017 and NE555.

Which its output glowing will slide down each position, by begin from output at 1 is pin 3, 2, 4, 7, 10, 1, 5, 6, 9 and
11 in sequence.
When it to pin 11 the output light will back to pin 3 and continue to glow in sequence each step, by the signal from
IC-555 in circuit. Which we can set output at 6 position then backward glow, by notice at the IC output pin as LED
can reverse run. The 1N4148-Diodes to protects voltage from output to same LED point.

How to builds.
The circuit assembling is shown in Figure 2 should begin low to high parts sequence, for Beautiful and simple. By
begin with diode, resistors and higher. And the parts have different polarity such as Diode,

Figure 2 The circuit assembling as components layout on PCB

Testing
To apply a power supply size 9-volts to circuit will see LED glow continue step to step run go and back. And can
adjust speed up by adjust at 10K-potentiometer.
Application
This circuit uses power from 9-12-volts Therefore can install in the car using voltage 12-volts.
