LED CHASER KIT

 
Build this variable speed led chaser. 10 leds flash sequentially at whatever speed you set them for. Easy to build kit includes pc board, parts and instructions. Ideal for special lighting effects, costumes, etc. Operates on 3 to 9 volts. PC board is 5" X 2.25".

Note: Kits cannot be returned or exchanged once assembly has begun.

Back and Forth Scanning LEDs Are Possible with this Kit
Get a bag of ten 2N2222 NPN transistors. Connect the Base of transistor as the anode lead of the LED onto circuit board, and the Emitter lead where the cathode of the LED is supposed to go on the circuit board. The Collector leads of the transistors and the positive supply now become the two point where you should now connect the LEDs instead - with anode of LED to the positive supply and the cathode of LED to the Colector leads of each transistor. To make the high tech back and forth scanning of LEDs rather than the monotonous one way running lights, you will need only 6 LEDs. Just short the transistor collector leads of 7th output with the 5th, the 8th output with the 4th, the 9th output with the 3rd, and the 10th output with the 2nd. The ten transistors will activate the Collector current sequentially all the time, but in this instance the 6 LEDs will be lit 10 times in a back and forth manner in this sequence - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 and cycle repeats back at 1 giving a back and forth scanning visual. If you need to control light bulbs, instead of LEDs, get the reed relays instead. And BTW, if you are using a 5V supply instead of 9V batteries (which I tap the 5V from my PC supply), short the 330ohm resistor to activate the reed relay switches.

Great easy to assemble circuit
The LED flashing pattern is 1 thru 10 looped, NOT back and forth (1 thru 10---10 thru 1) like a certain 80's crime fighting car. It is still a very useful project component that is reasonably priced.

Fun and Versatile
Years ago an old coworker of mine (hi Kraigo) built this kit and wired it to cheap solid state AC relays (also from All Electronics) to sequence AC lights. He said it worked great. I wanted to build my Chaser Kit mostly stock to decorate my cubicle at work but wanted the option to easily do mods in the future. So I built mine with a terminal block to mount the LED resistor, and header pins to mount the LEDs. That way I can easily experiment with connecting solid state relays or whatever to the outputs in the future and play with the dropping resistor value if need be.

IC sockets are a good idea, especially if you're a sloppy solderer like myself. It's also fun to mount the LEDs in a different pattern. Mine are shaped in a "sine wave" and I think it's a bit more fun to watch.

I built my Chaser Kit about 8 years ago and it is still running fine.

Great Circuit!
I don't know what the IC problems were with the other reviews, but I had this circuit together, soldered, and fully functional in less than 5 minutes! Great circuit & easy to follow instructions. This can be assembled with very little electronics knowledge!

Works Good
After messing around a bit since I am not a electronics nerd I was able to get it to work. It soldered up easy and does what I want it too.
