Applications

The 4017 Light Chaser kit is a highly suitable project for classrooms as it is simple in design, uses high-quality parts, and can be constructed in under an hour. The 4017 Light Chaser is also ideal as a teaching aid demonstrating how the 4017 operates, how the 555 can be used as a clock source, and how to use LEDs in parallel. The 4017 Light Chaser is also ideal for those who want to create light chase displays including LED ties, signs, decoration, and props for video / TV. An alternative to the 4017 Light Chaser is the Traffic Light Controller which uses the 4017 to create the UK traffic light sequence which can be ideal for those who want to create miniatures.
