MitchElectronics 4017 Beacon Kit

A kit of parts for you to build an audible locator beacon.

The 4017 is a 5-stage Johnson counter that has 10 outputs which turn on one after another. The IC is a commonly used 4000 series part and can be used in many scenarios including finite state machines, simple counters, and even time division.
