Hello,
I did a project today of connecting a 4017 Decade Counter chip to a 555 timer flashing set-up that I already had and it worked but the 10 LEDs I have hooked up to the 7014 are really week and the single LED I have hooked up to the 555 is strong.
I connected pin 3 of the 555 to pin 14 of the 4017, I grounded pins 8, 13 and 15/4017. I connected an LED to pin 1-7 and 9-11. I grounded pin 16 like the video showed but then non of the 4017 LEDs came on so I took that out.
Any one know why the 4017 LEDs aren't as bright as the 555 one?
Here is the video I followed for the 4017,
.
I can't post a video of my set up but hopefully tomorrow I can take a picture of the set-up.
(Sorry, got the number backwards in the title.)
Thanks
