This open source hardware project contains no parts.
Steps
. Insert resistors
Insert 1M (brown,black,green,gold) and 1k (brown,black,red,gold) resistors as shown. Decrease the resistance of the 1M resistor to increase the frequency of the 555 timer.
. (Optional) Insert 100uF capacitor
(Optional) Insert 100uF capacitor as shown. This capacitor acts as a decoupling capacitor on the power and ground rails to remove any noise from the supply lines.
. Insert diodes
Insert diodes as shown. The black band across each diode should be on the side of the diode that is closest to the bottom of the board. (If you use 1N4001 diodes, then the band will be white.) Conventional current flows in one direction through a diode and comes out on the side with the black band.
. Insert switch
Insert switch as shown. The C (common) terminal of the switch connects to pin 13 of the 4017B decade counter. The NC (normally closed) terminal connects to the ground rail, and the NO (normally open) terminal connects to the +9V rail.
. Insert LEDs
Insert the LEDs as shown. The longer leg of each LED should be closer to the top of the board where the large capacitor is.
