Cheers.

Thanks guys for the info. I have found a project on the Electronics Club website that could solve my problem. Its the "Lighthouse project" which uses a 4017 counter IC, triggered by a 555 timer IC. there is an option to use L.E.D.'S instead of the lamp in the project. The good thing about ...

I intend to light my models if posible, and the Starship site mentions using a 4060 chip, because it gives a f...
