Switching 12v

There was this little invention a few years ago called the transistor that
might help :-)

Yep, 1947 I seem to remember. Before even I was born :)
Strangely enough I was asked where a guy could get some background on valve
theory the other day. They may be gone but they apparently aint dead :))

I've got a series of rather large glowing valves just a few metres from me.
Not many transistors putting out 3kW just yet.

Cheers.

I'm still running a valve amp that must be over 35 years old. My parent's
bought it before I was born. The amount of heat it puts out just sitting
idle is amazing.

Check out this site; the link goes straight to the circuit you want
(substitute relays for the LED's - see the section in the site for
interfacing relays to logic gates).

Hi Jim,

I am assuming you want the 10 wires to "take turns" at being energized?
If so, have a look at this site:

http://www.doctronics.co.uk/4017.htm#decade

It has 10 outputs (via a 4017 Decade Counter IC) which take turns one at a
time.  It requires a clock input (high/low) to time the outputs.  Instead of
LED's connected to each of the 10 outputs of the IC (like that shown on the
site), you can connect a resistor and transistor to each of the outputs to
switch current such as 100mA.  If you're not familiar with this, I have
provided another link below...
http://www.kpsec.freeuk.com/trancirc.htm#chip - "Connecting a transistor to
the output from a chip".

Hope this helps.

Jason.

and the clock source 555 ic or whatever can be powered by the 10v signal

Many thanks guys, the help is appreciated :))

Cheers
Jim
