    This document describes a circuit called a Sequence Generator that uses a 555 timer integrated circuit to generate clock pulses and a 4017 counter/decoder integrated circuit to drive 10 LEDs as indicators. The circuit can be used to generate random numbers from 1 to 10 or as a 0-9 counter. The clock pulse frequency, and thus the timer range, can be adjusted by changing the capacitor or potentiometer values. The circuit can be powered from 6 to 12V and built on a homemade printed circuit board or breadboard. Some example uses and potential modifications of the circuit are also discussed.
