Led chaser
About the Led chaser PCB
Led chaser is an open source PCB design by notyourcto, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 87 × 38.9 mm, with 30 components from 10 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the NE555P and 4017. By type, the board carries 12 resistors, 11 diodes, 3 capacitors, 2 ICs and 1 battery holder.
From the project
designed pcb for led-chaser
this project is abt me trying pcb design after attending build guild by hackclub. we were building this led chaser circuit on breadboard during the event itself and after initial protyping i started working on design.
it uses ne555 timer to generate clock and cd4017 to light leds one by one.
10 leds light up one after another speed can be changed using potentiometer * runs on 9v battery
