The chaser available in the market now-adays or made on electrical motors wound
on wooden drum with the iron strips. But
these chaser in modern electronic age
give better control with multiple action. We
are giving a Ten line chaser circuit here. In
his project we have used IC 555 and IC
4017. A Triac or Relay can be used to
handle more load. The IC 555 used in this
project is a Timer IC. This is a very popular
IC. The input and output of this IC can be
used with TTL or CMOS logic circuit. This
is being used as a multivibtrater in this
circuit. The output pulse is available on the
Pin no. 3 of this IC. This pulse goes to the
Input pin no. 14 of the counter IC 4017.
There are ten output of the IC 4017. The
output is available on the Pin nos. 1, 2 , 3,
4, 5, 6, 7 , 9, 10 & 11. These output are
given to the base of the transister BC147
through the resistance 4K7. LEDs are
connected in the collector of these
transistors. The transister BC147 is used

PROJECT SPECIALITIES
This project is pioneer in the electronic
world of display. Ten LEDs or realys can be
utilized very nicely in this project. This
project can be utilized for decoration of the
house. It can also be used as a blinking
light in the temple and also fitted in the
shop very nicely for display purposes.

as a buffer so that Load at the output is not directly connected to the IC 4017. In case one LED is connected at the output then transister BC147 is not required.
The pin no. 12 of the 1st IC 4017 is connected to the pin no. 14 of the second IC 4017. The output of 2nd IC 4017 which is available on pin no. 3 to pin no. 11
have a diode and 100K preset for each pin. By adjusting the value of these presets speed of the LED can be changed for the display. The speed of the LED
depend upon the resistance in the circuit of the preset. That is why the name of this project is kept as automatic Variable speed Chaser.
