Running light

                                                        fig:- Running light circuit diagram
We use two ICs one is 555 timer IC for frequency generator and another is  CD4017 which is a decade counter.and the arrangement of circuit is made as shown in above figure.
 Here the 555 timer IC is operated in astable mode,that means it doesn't have stable state.the output continuously switches state between high and low without any intervention from the user, called a "square wave".it can use as a clock pulse for a digital ICs and circuit.
 
                                               fig square wave  output from pin 3 of 555 IC.
The output of timer IC is then connect to the 4017 IC. The 4017 is a decade counter with 10 decoded output which its output glowing will slide down each position by beginning from pin -3 to pin -11 in a sequence.when its output is at pin 11 light will back to pin-3 and continue glow in a sequence each step by the signal from the 555 timer IC. 
 The speed of running light is varying by moving the 10k preset.

Multiple mcp23017 interfacing with Arduino

MCP23017 is the I/O port extender that runs on 12C. It is 16-bit I/O expender.in this tutorial we are going to interface the single and multiple  mcp23017 with arduino.  fig:- mcp32017 module IT has 16 I/O ports from PA0 to PA7 and PB0 to PB7. first of all we are going to interface the single mcp23017 with Arduino. For this  connect the circuit as shown on figure. Download the library for mcp23017  from  sketch-- include library -- manage libraries.
