Hello everyone,
I am about to start a new project for an electrical engineering BTEC which requires us to produce a circuit using a 555 timer, the specification is quite open and I have decided to make a roulette wheel consisting of LEDs a 55 timer and a 4017 counter. I have found lots of circuits online which do this and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on them? Which would be the best one to use?

Sorry for the lack of images but it will not upload the images properly so here are links to the pages with the diagrams. I was thinking myself of using the 555 circuits site as it seems to be the most straightforward and other people on the course say it is a reliable site to use. Any opinions would be helpful before I commit to ordering the components.
Thanks everyone.
