I am trying to make 5 LED's go off in sequence. Each of the LEDS will turn on for different periods of time and there will be a time delay in-between. Which components do I need for this project?

 

Hello,

You can look for the chaser circuits in this thread started by Bill_Marsden:
LEDs, 555s, Flashers, and Light Chasers

If you can figure out what you want to do you'll probably get help designing it to order.
