Troubleshooting a Circuit in TINA Software: Help Needed!

AI Thread Summary
The "Dancing Light" circuit in TINA software is designed to sequentially flash LEDs, with a potentiometer to adjust the flashing speed. It utilizes a 555 Timer to generate clock pulses for the CD4017 decade counter, which controls the LED sequence. Users are seeking assistance to troubleshoot the circuit, as it is currently non-functional. Providing details on the intended operation of the circuit and the expected performance of its major components would be beneficial for effective troubleshooting. Clarifying these aspects may help identify the issues preventing the circuit from working.

A description of what the circuit is intended to do as well as how the major sub-assemblies are expected to perform would be helpful.

The circuit is intended to perform flashing LEDs one at a time. One LED will glow then next will glow and so on. the potentiometer is used to vary the speed of flashing of LEDs.. The 555 Timer is being used to feed the clock pulse to the decade counter CD4017...
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
