    This document provides instructions for a Knight Rider lights project using a 555 timer integrated circuit and 4017 decade counter to sequentially light LEDs or 12V bulbs. The 555 timer provides clock pulses to the 4017 counter. The 4017 outputs are connected to LEDs or a ULN2001N Darlington driver chip to control the bulbs. A capacitor and resistor reset the 4017 counter at power up so the lights sequence from the first LED/bulb in a repeating pattern. Parts include ICs, LEDs or bulbs, diodes, resistors and capacitors.

    Knight Rider Lights Project

    Circuit diagram for standard LED output.

    You can use 12V bulbs for the output, simply substitute the IC for the LEDs, the bulbs are then connected to the IC's outputs. This set up is ideal for running off a car battery.

    Alternative output driver for 12V bulbs.

    HOW IT WORKS
    The 555 timer IC is connected for Astable Operation, the clock pulses are fed to the 4017 IC via the 10K resistor. The 4017 is a 10 stage counter, each of the outputs is connected to the appropriate LED, as some LEDs need to be on for more than one count, we use diodes to avoid a short circuit situation between outputs. The capacitor and resistor on pin 15 of the 4017 are used to reset the counter to zero at

    initial power up. The ULN2001N used on the bulb version is a seven channel Darlington Driver IC, a small signal on one of the inputs is enough to drive the bulb on the output.
