all wecome to do with this info how ever they like its my gift
to you
MAKING SLIDERS TIMER updated 3/21/2011 whats new: a note about
setting the time on the digits (a fast forward function if you
hold the button in) the green bargraph circuits for the original
timer the 3 blinking leds on the original timer circuit added an
note about 4543 ic's instead of the 4511 for driving common
annode digits added a note about the leds between the original
timers digits
Sliders countdown circuit:
note: this is just what you need to get a 6 digit countdown
circuit fully functional (without programming anything ) as well
as blinking led's and bargraph display, if you want to make
emmitters light up or how to make the case and all, stay tuned
for the next guides sidebar notes will be in bold.
list of tools:
the smallest wire availible solder soldering iron desoldering
tools (for accidents) electrical tape hot glue gun (optional) a
small slotted screwdriver (for scraping mistakes)
parts needed:
prototype board one 555 ic one red led 6 seven segment leds
(common cathode) found here (trust me they are hard to find
otherwise) [link] 6 4029 ic's 6 4511 ic's 1 47 uf capacitor 5
3.3k resistors 1 1.2k resistor any type of bipolar switches,
momentary contact buttons, or on/off click buttons battery pack
(optional since you could build one yourself) 3 AAA batteries
(or 4.5 volts) 2 10 segment bargraph leds
for the original timer bargraph circuit parts needed: 1 3914 ic
1 330 ohm resistor 2 green 10 segment bargraph leds
for the original timer 3 alternating leds to the left of the
bargraphs: 1 green led 1 red led 1 yellow led 1k resistor
for the original timer leds between the digits 6 small red leds
on a note: if you cant find the rightsize 7 segment digits any
common cathode digits will work, just adjust the amount of 4029
and 4511 ic's accordingly. you'll need one of each for each
digit. common annode will not work unless you instead of using
the 4511 ic's use the 4543 ic which can handle both common
cathode common annode and even lcd displays.
part 1:
a note about the 555 ic in this circuit. i am not 100 percent
sure if 3 555 ic's wil lbe needed to drive the whole original
timer, my theory is that you may be able to get away with using
1 or 2. i'm shooting for just one, i will update this guide when
i figure that out. that being said, all that you need to do to
the original 555 circuit to try to use it for all the functions
is hook pin 4 and 8 together to posative and hook an extra wire
from pin 3 to the 1k resistor on one end thus making it a middle
pulse wire for the 3 alternating leds for the original timer
(seen at the bottam of the guide).
wiring the 555 circuit
1. Connect pin 1 to negative 2. Connect pin 2 to pin 6 3. Pin 3
is where you get the clock speed pulse from. it will be
connected to pin 15 of every 4029 chip in the circuit. It is
also hooked to the posative lead of the blinking led and the
negative pin of the led is hooked to negative. (unless you have
an led that already blinks on its own) 4. Connect pin four to
posative 5. nothing goes to pin 5 6. connect the 47uf capacitor
from pin 6 to a switch or on/of button, and connect the button
to negative (make sure the negative lead is hooked to the switch
or button and the posative lead to pin six of the 555) (note:
the reason for the switch or on/off button is that when you
start up the circuit for some reason only one digit will come on
and count down and it will turn them on at random. so in leaving
the switch in the off position when you start up the timer, what
this does its forces all digits to come on, and while its still
on turn the switch in the on position and it will start counting
from a random time, thus eliminating the hassle of waiting for
the circuit to warm up and adding random sliding as a bonus ) 7.
solder together in series (connected together in line) 4 3.3k
resistors and 1 1.2k resistor, and connect them with a wire or
by your own means, from pin 6 to pin 7 (this is what controls
the pulse speed and i have found that 14.4k resistance is normal
clock speed or near close to it.) 8. connect a 3.3k resistor
from pin 7 to posative 9. connect pin 8 to posative.
note: now its time to test your 555 pulse circuit. hook up your
power pack to it and see if your blinking led is blinking
steady. if it is, great, if its not on check all the
connections. if its not pulsing and its a solid light , check
the connection from the resistors at pin 6 to pin 7, thats the
leading cause of no countdown. if you want the countdown to stop
you could put a switch there to turn it on and off as you wish.
Part 2:
Wiring the seconds countdown digit and the 10 segment led
bargraphs
the 4511 ic
1. connect pin 1 to pin 11 of the 4029 ic 2. connect pin 2 to
pin 14 of the 4029 ic 3. connect pin 3 to pin 4, and connect
them to posative 4. connect pin 5 to negative 5. connect pin 6
to pin 2 of the 4029 ic 6. connect pin seven to pin 6 of the
4029 ic 7. connect pin 8 to negative 8. for this step i have
included an example of where to hook the pins of the 7 segment
digit to the bargraphs to make them work together for the added
effect. its also used as an example of how your 7 segment digit
might connect to the pins of the 4511 as continued below. please
note that while the points may not be the same as in the
diagram, the letters used are accurate for all 7 segment common
cathode digits and can still be used as a guide as to where to
connect the pins to the digit to get them working.
bargraphs: 1 and 2 go to pin f 3 to pin d 4 to pin d 5 and 6 to
pin b 7 to pin f 8 to pin c 9 and 10 to pin e
note: if you want to make the decimals blink with the circuit
just hook them to pin 3 of the 555 ic.
9. connect pin 9 to pin 'e' of the 7segment led 10. connect pin
10 to pin 'd' of the 7 segment led 11. connect pin 11 to pin 'c'
of the 7 segment led 12. connect pin 12 to pin 'b' of the 7
segment led 13. connect pin 13 to pin 'a' of the 7 segment led
14. connect pin 14 to pin 'g' of the 7 segment led 15 connect
pin 15 to pin 'f' of the 7 segment led 16. connect pin 16 to
posative, and connect the 7 segment led's pin 1 (known as the
common cathode pin) to negative. 17. connect all of the negative
pins to each of the 10 segment led bargraphs together and
connect them to negative. 18. refer to the diagram in step 8 to
see where to hook the pins of the 10 segment led bargraphs to
the pins ofthe 7 segment led for sync'd movement.
the 4029 ic
1.connect pin 1 to pins 3, 4 , 5, 8 , 9 ,10, 12, and 13, and
connect a wire from one of them to negative (note: pin 10 if you
want to put a bi polar switchi instead of connecting it to
negative, with the wire from pin 10 going to the center pin of
the switch and one pin going to negative and one to posative, it
will cause the countdown to count up if you switch to posative,
or to count back down when connected to negative) 2. connect pin
7 to pin 5 of the next 4029 chip 3. connect pin 15 to pin 3 of
the 555 timer chip 4. connect pin 16 to posative
part 3:
The other 5 digits
after you have tested that your first digit counts down from 9
to zero and then rolls back to 9 and continues that process and
that your bargraphs are working in sync with that digit, its
time to continue on with the other 5 digits (or however many you
plan on putting in). note that the steps are pretty much the
same with a few things that have changed, the changes will be
marked in red so as to have no confusion.
the 4511 ic
1. connect pin 1 to pin 11 of the 4029 ic 2. connect pin 2 to
pin 14 of the 4029 ic 3. connect pin 3 to pin 4, and connect
them to posative 4. connect pin 5 to negative 5. connect pin 6
to pin 2 of the 4029 ic 6. connect pin seven to pin 6 of the
4029 ic 7. connect pin 8 to negative 8. the following remains
the same 9. connect pin 9 to pin 'e' of the 7segment led 10.
connect pin 10 to pin 'd' of the 7 segment led 11. connect pin
11 to pin 'c' of the 7 segment led 12. connect pin 12 to pin 'b'
of the 7 segment led 13. connect pin 13 to pin 'a' of the 7
segment led 14. connect pin 14 to pin 'g' of the 7 segment led
15 connect pin 15 to pin 'f' of the 7 segment led 16. connect
pin 16 to posative, and connect the 7 segment led's pin 1 (known
as the common cathode pin) to negative.
the 4029 ic
1.connect pin 1 to pins 3, 4 , 5, 8 , 9 ,10, 12, and 13, and
connect a wire from one of them to negative (note: pin 10 if you
want to put a bi polar switch, with the wire from pin 10 going
to the center pin of the switch and one pin going to negative
and one to posative, it will cause the countdown to count up if
you switch to posative, or to count back down when connected to
negative) Do not connect pin 5 of the rest of the 4029's to
negative, it will cause errors. instead, make sure that the pin
7 from the previous 4029 is hooked here, and hook a spare wire
to it which will go to a button that has its other pin going to
negative, and also one wire going from pin 6 of the 555 and one
wire from the other pin of the button to pin 7 of the 555 (fast
forward if you hold the button in), so that when the button is
pushed it will countdown at your choosing (so as to set what
time to slide ) 2. connect pin 7 to pin 5 of the next 4029 chip
3. connect pin 15 to pin 3 of the 555 timer chip 4. connect pin
16 to posative
when all is said and done you should have a 6 digit countdown
timer (or with the supplied suggesions , up as well.) with
working bargraph display (for the egyptian and jensen timers)
and a blinking led
original timer bargraph circuit:
3914 ic:
1. pin 1 to negative lead of bargraph light 1 2. pin 2 to
negative 3.pin 3 to posative 4. pin 4 to negative 5. pin 5 to
pin 2 of the 555 ic 6. pin 6 to pin 7 7. pin 7 to1.2k resistor
to pin 8 8. pin 9 to negative 9. pin 2 connect 3.3 k resistor to
the same 1.2k resistor on the end leadinng to pin 8 10. leave
pin 10 untouched 11. pin 11 to pin 9 on negative lead of
bargraph light 1 12. pin 12 to pin 8 negative lead of bargraph
light 1 13. pin 13 to pin 7 negative lead of bargraph light 1
14. pin 14 to pin 6 negative lead of bargraph light 1 15. pin 15
to pin 5 negative lead of bargraph light 1 16. pin 16 to pin 4
negative lead of bargraph light 1 17. pin 17 to pin 3 negative
lead of bargraph light 1 18. pin 18 to pin 2 negative lead of
bargraph light 1
The red led's in between the digits of the original timer: 1.
negative pins of all of them soldered together to negative. 2.
Posative leads of them soldered together and to pin 3 of the 555
ic
3 alternating leds to the left of the bargraphs on the original
timer:
1. pin 1 to negative 2. pin 2 to pin 6 3. pin 3 to negative pin
of green and yellow leds and one end of a 1k resistor 4. pin 4
connect to pin 8 and both to posative end of green and yellow
leds 5. leave pin 5 unconnected 6. connect the 47uf capacitor
from pin 6 to negative 7. connect 15k resistor between pin 6 and
7 8. connect pin 7 with a 3.3k resistor to posative 9. connect
posative lead of red led to the other end of the 1k resistor and
the negative lead to negative
a note about the 555 ic in this circuit. i am not 100 percent

I would like to thank Aaronslider, for without him the
fundamental basics of this circuit desgin would have never come
about. he provided the seed circuit and i modified it with
permission from him. I'd also like to thank xavengingangelx for
his brillitan faceplates and his ideas and input, without him as
well i wouldnt have gotten this far. i would also like to thank
someone from youtube. jendzurski, if it wasnt for him i wouldnt
have figured out how to get the correct pulse from the 555 ic to
drive the green bargraphs for the original timer. Noone under
any circumstances is to modify or alter this guide or claim it
has his/her own. it may however be distributed as you wish
freely and under no circumstances is it to be published or sold
at all (published is ok with written consent). if theres any
errors or if you get stuck feel free to email me at :
timerslide@hotmail.com, all questions will be answered
accordingly.
