The ICs (555; 4017; ...) for circuits like the "LED | sequencers" are very cheap (less than $1/1EUR each).

If you are new to this then you can find an overview | of electronic symbols in Wikipedia [2] for example - this is | helpful because it gives you names and terms to search for. | | Having even a cheap multimeter to measure voltages, resistances | or the polarity of diodes is better than nothing btw (but better | don't use these to measure line/mains power - even if they claim | to be able to do that). | | Have fun! | | [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_in-line_package | | [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breadboard | | [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_symbol | eternityforest wrote: | Wow!!
