A relay sequencer is used in a radio transverter and is use to activate particular stages in order after short delay. This project describes how to build this sequencer. It has the following features. This stage is used to switch the output / input of the.... -
Christmas is coming and its that time of the year again when the electronics student or hobbyists thoughts turn to making a Christmas circuit for their home and especially one that flashes a few lights. There are many circuits and kits on the market that can.... -
Yes, both of those transistor types will be suitable. Is the ""sn9304"" a 2N3904? That`s a common type. You`re going to have four LEDs on at a .... -
The model 4017 integrated circuit is a CMOS counter with ten output terminals. One of these ten terminals will be in a "high" state at any given time, with all others being "low, " giving a "one-of-ten" output sequence. If low-to-high voltage pulses are.... -
The circuit below illustrates using a 10x10 matrix to sequence up to 100 LEDs with just three ICs and 20 transistors. The two 4017 decade counters control the 10 rows and 10 columns so that one LED is selected depending on the output of the decade counters..... -
This analog sequencer was designed with the idea of cooperative play in mind. It can be used as a standalone instrument, or linked together with other sequencers running on the same clock speed. Mark Kleback and I were working separately working on.... -

After a lot of searching the web, I could not find a 16 step sequencer schematic that didn`t require an arduino or PIC or some other digital controller. Here is a simple 3 chip analog 16 step sequencer with variable speed and arpeggio I came up with, based.... -
The purpose of this circuit was to create a ring in which LEDs or Lamps illuminate sequentially. Its main feature is a high versatility: you can build a loop containing any number of LEDs or Lamps, as each illuminating device has its own small circuit. The.... -
The bi-directional sequencer uses a 4 bit binary up/down counter (CD4516) and two "1 of 8 line decoders" (74HC138 or 74HCT138) to generate the popular "Night Rider" display. A Schmitt Trigger oscillator provides the clock signal for the counter and the rate.... -
This circuit is similar to the LED clock using 12 neon indicator lamps instead of LEDs. It operates from 2 high capacity ni-cad cells (2.5 volts) which keep it going for a couple weeks. High voltage (70 volts) for the neon lamps is obtained from a small.... -
I built this circuit from the led beating heart frame instructable. I can`t seem to get it to work. Any ideas? I also built this led sequencer. It doe.... -
This is an old project of mine from about 3 years ago. I was 8 when my father bought me a C=64 28 years ago, and I still remember how thrilled I was t.... -
This novel circuit uses a flashing LED as the clock input for a 4017 decade counter. Typical flashing LEDs (eg, DSE cat Z-4044) flash at about 2Hz so the outputs Q0-Q9 will cycle through at that rate. For example, Q0 will turn on for half a second, then Q1,.... -
Dedicated model rail enthusiasts using sophisticated train and points controllers often have the problem that as their layouts get bigger and more complex, the transformer supplying power to the points does not have enough current to switch several points at.... -

Here is another example of using a CD4051 multiplexer, or more accurately a pair of CD4051s in parallel. I had lifted much of the core logic and circuits from Dave Jones designs. Again these are old designs offered from a historical perspective. I built this.... -
an intermediate to advanced project and I do not recommend it as a first project if you are just getting started in synths or electronics. Only the circuit and some explanation are shown here. A lot of project building, troubleshooting and electronics.... -
A mechanism by which a normal pot could be used as a digitized pot since I need each pot`s setting to be converted to a number between 0 and 15. I use that information to determine the duration for each step. I accomplished this by designing an analog to.... -

The next job is the LNA transistor replacement, but the trouble is repeated already within next contest. Such problem is usually result of unsuitable time sequence of switching between receive and transmitting, where due to different delays (for example by.... -
Back panel terminal connectors: Audio out, Trigger In, Clock In, Clock out CV out; plus the chord of the power supply which is internal, note that there`s no button to switch it ON/OFF: just plug and play. SEQUENCER steps mode with 8 levers from lower to.... -
First, the 4017`s aren`t initialized to a known state since the reset pins aren`t briefly forced high when the circuit powers on. The chips might usually power up in the normal reset condition, but that isn`t probably guaranteed by the IC manufacturer. This.... -
The circuit diagram of this programmable sequencer could be applied in a number of timing uses. Prior to the start of each interval, an audible tone is generated, and a seven-segment LED display shows the interval number. Prior to the end of that inerval,.... -
I am feeding that box with 12 volts, and it has a sequencer board, some external relays to drive the coaxial relays, preamp and the amplifier. As you can see, this sequencer board has some DIL relays, they are only intended to drive external relays that.... -
This is the Sequencer circuit. Power to the Logic portion of the circuit is provided by a standard commercial "wall-wart" power adaptor supplying 6 VDC. The 555 timer IC provides the pulse train that drives the chase; the timing is adjustable with the 100K.... -
The following video is of my test circuit of a 16 step analog sequencer based on Mauno Tuominen`s schematic for an analog CMOS sequencer based around at 4067n multiplexer/demultiplexer. You can see a DIY version of the sequencer here at studiomanus. com. I....

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.... -

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..... -
The best human ear can capture sounds from 20Hz to 20KHz. These limits are known to be the broadest that can exist. Normally the normal limits range from 100Hz to about 13KHz and depend on the age and health of the individual. We for our measurements and to....
