Some simple 555 and flip flop circuits to add electronic lighting effects to `modernize` the games. I`m collecting quite a few for different aspects of the game - i. e. idle, flipper shot, flowers open, winning shot etc. I have a few hundred LED`s, 20 LM555`s from an ebay purchase on the way and I`m putting in an order with All Elecronics for he other components. I`m o. k. with the schematic,

but in my ignorance, if I only use 5 LEDS, do I just leave pins open on 4017 or do I have to connect them to `something` I only want five for a model fire engine I`m building and it sits on the rear pump compartment in a five set `window` I`m already using a pair of 555`s on a strip board buried in the `tank` to control the blue lights, hazards etc. Headlights are handled by GOW bulbs on a separate 3v supply. 1/ The model will only get lit for maybe 2 to three minutes at a time, will a current of 25mA give me a reasonable (how long`s a piece of string!)life span on the LED`s 2/ Is there a way of utilising either the 555`s or the 4017 to allow a push of a microswitch to activate all the model functions and then run all for a period of time, then stop until the microswitch is pushed again 1/ The model will only get lit for maybe 2 to three minutes at a time, will a current of 25mA give me a reasonable (how long`s a piece of string!)life span on the LED`s When they are used within their max allowed current then they last for hundreds of thousands of hours. Chinese ones from E-Bay last only 1 week (168 hours). 2/ Is there a way of utilising either the 555`s or the 4017 to allow a push of a microswitch to activate all the model functions and then run all for a period of time, then stop until the microswitch is pushed again A push-the-button to turn on a circuit then push-the-button again to turn off the circuit is simple.

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
