Help with switching

[mawty1]

Help with a circuit,

i have one switch that needs to operate 3 lights at a time
on firsts toggle on, ON LED1, OFF LED2, OFF LED3
on second toggle on, OFF LED1, ON LED2, OFF LED3
on third toggle on, OFF LED1, LED2, ON LED3
then when toggled again the process repeats itself. is it possible? thanks.

I have this Idea modifying this circuit can operate 2 LED one at a time alternately.

**broken link removed**

can it be converted to a 3 way LED?

The second link you posted using the 4017 can be configured to do pretty much what you are looking to do. It would be configured as a count to N and reset. You would get:
No LED Lit
#1 LED ON #2 & 3 OFF
#2 LED ON #1 & 3 OFF
#3 LED ON #1 & 2 OFF
No LED Lit

This fits into a classic binary logic design problem, where there are three states:
1 0 0
0 1 0
0 ? 1
By using the TTL, or other digital logic chips, you can greatly simplify the problem, as far as design and construction.
It can be expanded if more LEDs are required.

What are you using this for?

With a 4017 or 4022, if you want n outputs in a ring, then tie the n+1 output to the reset line. The chip "0" output is circuit output #1, the "1" output is #2, etc. If you want a guaranteed startup state, diode-or the n+1 output and an R-C network into the Reset input. Be sure to debounce the toggle switch into the clock input.
