Traffic Light Kit

Need a traffic light that is true to UK standards? Look no further as this kit will let you build a UK traffic light with the correct light patterns, excellent project for beginners and learners alike!

The faithful traffic light is something that has been around since the first cars after drivers had difficulty in deciding who had right of way at a junction. The modern traffic light found in the UK is often connected to an intelligent network of controllers and logic to try and keep traffic moving as efficiently as possible. While this project is far more trivial, you will learn how to build a traffic light that uses the correct colour sequence found on many UK traffic lights! This circuit is based around a 555 astable oscillator as a clock source, a 4017 IC as the counter stage, and a diode matrix for creating the light patterns.

Light Chaser Kit

4017 light chaser kit with a potentiometer for variable stepping speed, 4017 counter for logic, and 555 timer for timing. Perfect for beginners!

The 4017 is a 5-stage Johnson counter that has 10 outputs that turn on one after another. This IC is a commonly used 4000 series part and can be used in many scenarios including finite state machines, simple counters, and even time division. In this kit, you will build a 4017 based variable light chaser that is great for solder practice as well as entertaining for sci-fi looking scenes.

Product specifics

  • Component Count: 24
  • Battery Powered?: Yes, 9V PP3
  • Operating Voltage: 5V to 16V
  • Operating Frequency: N/A
  • Output Voltage: N/A
  • Output Current: N/A
  • Dimensions (PCB) : 48mm x 32mm
  • Mounting Holes: Yes
  • Prebuilt: No – Kit form
  • Batteries Not Included

Included in this kit

  • 1 x 16 DIP Socket
  • 1 x 8 DIP Socket
    1 x 4017
  • 1 x 555
  • 2 x 1K Resistors
  • 3 x 100nF Capacitors
  • 1 x 100uF Capacitor
  • 1 x 10K Potentiometer
  • 1 x Small Slide Switch

  • 1 x PP3 Connector
  • 1 x PCB

Applications

The 4017 Light Chaser kit is a highly suitable project for classrooms as it is simple in design, uses high-quality parts, and can be constructed in under an hour. The 4017 Light Chaser is also ideal as a teaching aid demonstrating how the 4017 operates, how the 555 can be used as a clock source, and how to use LEDs in parallel. The 4017 Light Chaser is also ideal for those who want to create light chase displays including LED ties, signs, decoration, and props for video / TV. An alternative to the 4017 Light Chaser is the Traffic Light Controller which uses the 4017 to create the UK traffic light sequence which can be ideal for those who want to create miniatures.

Transistor Flasher Kit

This Transistor Flasher Kit will let you build a two-transistor flasher that flashes two LEDs similar to train crossing lights, excellent project for beginners and learners alike!

In electronics, it is sometimes required to have a signal that consistently creates a continuous pulse (like the second hand on a clock that ticks every second). Examples of where this would be useful would include: 

  • Digital clock (to track time)
  • Computers (the CPU needs to be triggered by pulses)
  • Most digital systems (usually require a central clock that synchronises all parts)

A circuit that produces a pulse every so often is called an oscillator. Once powered, the output of an oscillator will turn on and then turn off. Once this cycle has been completed it repeats itself indefinitely (so long as there is power). But how is an oscillator made? How do you get some components to keep on pulsing? In this kit, you will be creating a two-transistor oscillator that uses two transistors and a few other components to create an oscillator that generates a few pulses every second so that it flashes (that is why it is called a flasher).

Product specifics

  • Component Count: 12
  • Battery Powered?: Yes, 9V PP3
  • Operating Voltage: 3V to 16V
  • Operating Frequency: Approx 2Hz
  • Output Voltage: N/A
  • Output Current: N/A
  • Dimensions (PCB): 30mm x 26mm
  • Mounting Holes: Yes
  • Prebuilt: No – Kit form
  • Batteries Not Included

  • 2 x 2N3904
  • 2 x 100uF Capacitors
  • 2 x 680R Resistors
  • 2 x 5K6 Resistors
  • 2 x Green LED
  • 1 x PP3 Connector
  • 1 x PCB

Applications

The Transistor Flasher is an ideal kit for beginners who want to practice soldering electronic components to a PCB. While the component count is very low, the variety of components gives a builder the opportunity to read PCB drawings, learn how to solder resistors, capacitors, transistors, and LEDs, and learn how transistor oscillators work. Furthermore, the kit is ideal for use in the classroom as it can be constructed in under an hour, and has an entertaining visual output.
