well, my idea is creating a 10 RGB led chaser that has the following pattern
first led fades to next color (red), second led fades to the same next color (red), 3rd, etc....
after the last led has faded to the next color (red), the 1st led will fade to the later color (pink for example) and will be followed by the other 9 leds....
i will control a single RGB led using a 4029 according to the following schem.
just without the 555 part, leaving the CLK leg aside for the moment.
(assuming that this is an rgb led moule, which will fade to the next color at every pulse on the CLK leg.
from rainbow led
now having 10 such modules,
i will use a 4017 counter, common used in led chasers, to drive all the CLK legs of the 4029's.
the 4017 will have a 555 timer that will set its CLK. every 4017's CLK will mean that the subsequent 4029 will change it's rgb led to the next color
what do you say on the theory side ?
will it work ?
how should i connect the 4017's outputs to the 4029's CLK leg ? directly ? with a resistor ?
i'm OK with the complexity and the cost due to the need of a 4029 circuit for every rgb led.
i explain the pattern:
