This is a simple flashing led circuit with 2 leds and 2 NPN transistors. It illustrates the behavior of transistors and capacitors and if you use an oscilloscope it will be very easy to determine what ...

In this post, two LED blinking circuits are given below. First one is dancing bi-color LEDs (two different color LEDs) where the two color LED will run in sequence. In the second circuit, we will ...

Everything was going fine until we got the LEDs installed and went to test the turn signals in the driveway. Nothing-no blinking, no flashing, no nothin'. Perplexed, we retraced our steps, ...

These days, if you want to flash some LEDs, you’d probably grab a microcontroller. Maybe you’d go a little more old-school, and grab a 555. However, [Jacob] is even more hardcore than that, as ...

A recent design project required a bright LED flash each time a 100-µs pulse occurred. The pulse repeated every 300 ms. Because the pulse was so short, driving the ...

Machine-vision systems use very short flashes of intense light to produce high-speed images employed in a wide variety of data-processing applications. For instance, fast-moving conveyor belts are run ...
