Stargate Sequence whith 9 LEDs

Post by MaKoTo »

Here is the electonic schematic that i have develop and experiment on a lab-board.
This is to simulate the Stargate lighting sequence of the 9 chevrons, to be integrated in a full scrach of the gate.

A integrated circuit NE555 in astable mode at 1Hz frequency, rate of work 2 shift register 74HC164 to memory a logical "1" on these outs, for drive 9 Blue LED 3mm diameter; and fine, the register are "reset" by a NPN transistor for the sequence restart.

Here the components list :
Intergrated Circuits:
IC1 = NE555
IC2, IC3 = 74HC164

Transistor:
BF422

LED:
9x Led 3mm cristal Blue, 2000mcd, IF = 20mA typ. @ VF = 3,6VDC, 470 nm

Connectors (optional):
1x DB9 female
1x DB9 male
2 pin connectors to go to a 4,5V-6V max battery
tulip supports for IC

Resistors:
R1 = 1M Ohm
R2 = 220K Ohm
R3 = 100K Ohm
R4, R5, R6, R7, R8, R9 = 120K Ohm
R10 = 43K Ohm
R11 = 100 Ohm

Capacitors:
C1 = 1µF
C2 = 10nF

For the electronic epoxy card execution, you can follow http://www.abcelectronique.com/acquier/typon.html
http://www.selectronic.fr/article.asp?a ... .3304-9999
some sellers could do it for you ?
Or use a card with holes, to weld the components, and make the connections with wires between the components yourself

And here with a little modification, cause i was doing a electronic mistake who cause the 3 lasts blue Led not shinning in the good intensity.

COOL! :D

Now, I wonder if I have any 74HC164 chips, or equivalents?

THANKS MaKoTo. Quite thorough!
