Blinky-Board---555-Chaser
About the Blinky-Board---555-Chaser
Blinky-Board---555-Chaser is an open source PCB design by LinoSchibig, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 98.4 × 51.4 mm, with 17 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the CD4017 and NE555P. By type, the board carries 8 diodes, 2 ICs, 2 connectors, 2 capacitors and 2 resistors.
From the project
This is my first project from Stasis. It will be a blinky board with 10 LEDs on a PCB in the shape of the Swiss flag.
I choose this project because it was recommeneded as beginner project
Each output activates a LED, creating a "running light" effect. The speed of the pulse can be controlled by adjusting the potentiometer, which changes the timing of the NE555 timer.
This is the list of components used for the project.
