Mixup of the Christmas Wreath (Thing 13179), a CD4060BC, 12 LEDs, 8 resistors, a capacitor and 9V battery.Makes a bright blinky ornament (and a great 4H project)Print Thing 13179Drill 12 holes of about 5mm at various locations. I chose a pretty even mix of the "balls" printed on the ornament.Push a mix of colored LEDs into the holes - varying them evenly throughout.I used pairs of [ Blue (3v) and Red (1.8v) ] and [ Green (3v) and Yellow (1.8v) ] LEDs on either side of the trigger line. This keeps the voltage the same and allows me to use 200�© limiting resistors.Using the trigger lines on pins 1, 2 and 15 run at reasonable blink speeds.I chose 5.6k�©, 10k�© and 10nF for the clock, but works fine with a variety of values (100k�© instead of 5.6k�© for example).
