DIY Creative M-shaped water light kit with flashing LED lights NE555+CD4017

DIY Creative M-Shaped Water Light Kit with Flashing LED Lights – NE555 + CD4017 Student Laboratory Assembly

Product Description

The DIY Creative M-Shaped Water Light Kit with Flashing LED Lights is an educational DIY electronics assembly kit designed for students, makers, and STEM laboratories. This creative kit combines analog timing control and digital counting logic using the NE555 timer IC and CD4017 decade counter, producing a visually striking M-shaped “water flow” LED lighting effect.

The NE555 generates clock pulses that drive the CD4017 counter, which then sequentially activates multiple LEDs to simulate a flowing or cascading water-light pattern. The flashing and motion effects make this kit an excellent tool for learning timing circuits, pulse generation, sequential logic, and LED control, all through hands-on assembly.

Educational & Learning Benefits

This kit is widely used in student laboratories, electronics courses, and STEM education programs. It helps learners:

• Understand the working principle of the NE555 timer in astable mode

• Learn how clock pulses control the CD4017 decade counter

• Observe sequential LED switching and flowing light effects

• Explore the interaction between analog timing and digital logic

• Develop practical soldering and circuit-assembly skills

The clear, dynamic LED patterns provide immediate visual feedback, making abstract electronics concepts easier to grasp.
