This circuit serves as a decorative element or indicator, featuring adjustable flashing or dancing speeds of LEDs and the ability to create various light patterns. It consists of two astable multivibrators: one formed by transistors T1 and T2, and the other by transistors T3 and T4. The duty cycle of each multivibrator can be modified by adjusting the RC time constant, which is accomplished using potentiometers VR1 and VR2. This allows for the generation of different LED dancing patterns. The total cost of the circuit is approximately Rs 30. Additionally, potentiometers can be substituted with light-dependent resistors, enabling the LED dance patterns to respond to ambient light intensity. The arrangement of colored LEDs can be visualized as depicted in the accompanying figure.
The described circuit utilizes two astable multivibrators to create a visually engaging display of LED lights that can be customized for various applications, such as decorative lighting or indicators. The first multivibrator, composed of transistors T1 and T2, generates a continuous square wave output that drives one set of LEDs. The second multivibrator, utilizing transistors T3 and T4, functions similarly to control a different set of LEDs or to create a combined effect with the first set.
The duty cycle of each multivibrator is critical in determining the on-off timing of the LEDs. By varying the resistance and capacitance values in the RC time constant, the flashing speed and pattern can be fine-tuned. Potentiometers VR1 and VR2 allow for manual adjustment, providing flexibility in the design. When light-dependent resistors are used in place of potentiometers, the circuit becomes responsive to environmental light levels, creating a dynamic interaction between the LEDs and their surroundings.
The total cost of the circuit is estimated at Rs 30, making it an economical choice for hobbyists and DIY enthusiasts. The arrangement of colored LEDs can be designed in various configurations to enhance the visual impact of the display. It is important to consider that the performance and patterns generated by the circuit may vary based on the specific components used and their arrangement.
This circuit provides an excellent platform for experimentation with basic electronic components and concepts, allowing users to explore the principles of multivibrator operation and light modulation while creating an eye-catching display.Here is a simple circuit which can be used for decoration purposes or as an indicator. Flashing or dancing speed of LEDs can be adjusted and various dancing patterns of lights can be formed. The circuit consists of two astable multivibrators. One multivibrator is formed by transistors T1 and T2 while the other astable multivibrator is formed by T3
and T4. Duty cycle of each multivibrator can be varied by changing RC time constant. This can be done through potentiometers VR1 and VR2 to produce different dancing pattern of LEDs. Total cost of this circuit is of the order of Rs 30 only. Potentiometers can be replaced by light dependent resistors so that dancing of LEDs will depend upon the surrounding light intensity.
