Reply to "Semaphore and 555 Timer Circuit"

The connection of the cap to the power was what threw me as the 555 reset was going to power and the 4017 was going to ground, but it seemed to be the 4017 that was acting up. Anyway, good learning experience.

 

After stan2004's post I went back and read the 4017 data sheet and his note about the counter getting mixed up was right on the front page. Not that I would have figured out the meaning of it all, had he not explained it prior to my reading it.

 

Also, I am taking it that you got the new schematic with the reset added and didn't post a revision to it, so I did get it right?
