Using a 555 with perhaps a 4029, and I would add a 4511, then connect the pins (using resistors of course), of the bargraph leds, to `a-g` pins of the 4511. To top it all off the graphs I received are all common anode, which is a pain because I`m not too savy like that. I know what a 555 timer is but I wouldn`t have a clue as to wire them with what as was suggested here. Let alone to make it so it increments with each button

press. well, I breadboarded everything but I couldn`t get the damn thing to work. Don`t know if I missed a connection somewhere or what, but no joy all the way. To top it all off the graphs I received are all common anode, which is a pain because I`m not too savy like that. I know what a 555 timer is but I wouldn`t have a clue as to wire them with what as was suggested here. Let alone to make it so it increments with each button press. Sounds great man. At this point it`s more of a learning experience for me than anything else; and if others can learn something to then great! I`ll shoot ya a PM with what I want but in a nutshell I`ve got some anode common LED bar graphs that I`d like to increment with a button. It`s probably easier to wire up than I`m thinking about. Edit: Also, is this a screen prop that will appear on camera It`s slightly easier to do if it is acceptable that the LEDs may shimmer slightly when shown on video. Edit edit: And what d`you want to run it from Three AA cells is easiest from an engineering point of view, as the micro is a 5V device (that will tolerate 4. 5) Thank-you for your offer Hfuy but using logic gates are a great way to learn some circuitry. I`ve got an Arduino but I find the circuits themselves fascinating in their own right and would just love to get a handle on them. One of those crawl before you walk things you know Common anode displays are going to make it slightly more...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
