This Car LED Light Sequencer uses a standard 74C164 8 bit shift register as its heart of operation. The 74C164 is also known as a 8-Bit Parallel-Out Serial Shift Register which is a monolithic complementary MOS (CMOS) integrated circuit. These 8-bit shift registers have gated serial inputs and clear. Each register bit is a D-type master/slave flip

-flop. Data is serially shifted in and out of the 8-bit register during the positive going transition of clock pulse. Clear is independent of the clock and accomplished by a low level at the clear input. It has a wide supply voltage range from 3V to 15V DC. The input data goes to the serial inputs at pin 1 and 2 which are connected to VCC of the circuit. When pins 1 and 2 are high, the data moves one step forward with each clock pulse. As shown in the diagram above, the outputs are pins 3-6 and 10-13. The data flows from output 1 to 2 to 3. to 8 with each positive edge of the clock pulse. The data can be cleared to zero by putting a momentary low input at pin 9. Two gates of 4011 quad two input NAND gate IC2-a and IC2-b are connected as an astable oscillator circuit with the frequency of operation set by C1 and R11. The clock`s positive output pulses at pin 4 of IC2 are connected to the clock input of 74C164. An LED with a resistor of 1K each is connected to the outputs of the shift register. The shift register`s 8th output atpin 13 is connected through a RC network delay circuit of R10 and C3. When the 8th clock pulse turns on LED8, pin 13 of IC1 goes positive, charging C3. After a period of time, IC2-c output goes low clearing the shift register outputs. The first clock pulse turns LED1 on, the second LED2, the third LED3 until all eight of the LEDs are lighted ON. After the8th LED turns ON, the clear pulse from IC2-c...
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.....
