My nephew redid his truck, turning it into a flat bed. He bought 6 LED lights, 3 on each side. He has asked me to make a circuit so he can have the lights flash in sequence like they do on the new mustangs when he turns his turn signals on.
Now, I've checked at the circuit box, pulled the flasher module, and jumpered it. By doing that, it no longer flashes, but stays at a steady light when turn signals are on. So, there is a continuous supply of 12 volts going to the back of the truck to the lights via the factory wire harness.
I tried looking on google for a circuit that will work, but when i try to run a simulation, it doesn't seem to operate with transsistor/mosfets, resistors, and capacitors.
Some other images show using a 555 timer and a 4017. what is a 4017? A decade counter? Will that work? I am guessing that the outputs of the decade counter must be used with mosfets or transistors, as his LED lights probably draw too much power for the decade counter. My simulation program I am using does have a 555 timer circuit in it, and a decade counter circuit, but I'm not sure how to draw it up using those just yet.
Anyone have a simple circuit that will work for this application? He wants them like this
Thanks in advance,
Jason
