vanishing point

[dubiousss]

so i just breadboarded the vanishing point, got the led's ticking, but the slowest setting takes about 3 seconds to circle the 10 led's, is there a way to get it slower? also is there a way to get it to circle by taping a switch?

I guess you could try increasing the cap in the clock section...

[dubiousss]

yeah that did it, but still have to find a way to make it cycle from a switch

I haven't looked at the schematic in a long time but I think if you install a switch that breaks or closes the connection betwee nthe 4017's reset pin and whatever else (probably the 9'th count pin) then you should get what you need.

well that sets it back to the start of the cycle but i want to be able to go through the led's one by one

ok so new problem, I got it all boxed up and working except when i decrease one of the pots in sequence mode it makes the next pot shorter in time. so its like a da da di da when the second da is decreased.is this because when theres less power being drawn from the 4017 the speed changes? or could it be becaise i wired the leds after the pots( i dont see how led-resistor order makes a dif)
