So, I have 12 RED LED's, 11 yellow, and 10 green, all of which need to flash consecutively.
These are mostly controlled with 4017's, with Q0's unconnected, and the remainders directly from arduino outputs.

I also have a flashlight, which lights up at the start of the cycle, 1 strand of EL wire that is automatically on when power is applied (EL1), and two strands that need to have a button pressed 3 times to get them to be on solid. I'm putting a transistor in the power lines of these to make sure I can reset them.

I wrote this code, but it's pretty much my first time programming an arduino(second if you include pwming a couple LED's), did I miss anything basic?

Hey, does it have to be 4017? you could do this very easily with 595's with only 4 control lime from your MCU you can control as much outputs as you want and the light combinations are virtualy unlimited. check the thumbnail, I'm controlling 80 led's this way

 

Yea, since I already have them wired up I might as well use them, and i don't have any of that chip or time to order them and wire it up and debug it. I think my code should take care of things... hopefully. I'll know in a couple days when the arduino shows up.
