This LED flasher circuit is a classic two transistor flip flop. This flasher circuit is very popular and it`s usually the first circuit to build when starting electronic circuit building hobby. Here is the schematic diagram of the famous LED flasher circuit: The circuit consist of two transistors, two capacitors, four resistors, and two LEDs. Whe

n the power supply is first connected to this LED flasher circuit, both transistor is racing to be triggered first by the base current through 100k resistor. Actually when one transistor is triggered first than the other, the first activated transistor will behave like a closed switch, so the LED will turn ON and the base of the other transistor will be grounded through the capacitor. This grounding keep the first transistor to be activated and the second one to stay off untill the capacitor is charged above the bias voltage needed to activate the second transistor. After reaching this voltage, the second transistor will be switched on and now the second transistor will turn ON the LED on its collector, turning off the first transistor by grounding its base through the second capacitor. This alternating process will be repeated forever until the power supply is turned off. The flashing rate will depend on the resistors (100k) and the capacitors values. You can change the values of the capacitors to change the flashing frequency. Use a higher capacitance value for lower flashing rate, and vice verse. LED flasher circuit gives a lot of fun for our christmas decoration, or as the core of our Halloween`s Jack-O-lanternsflashing eyes. You can use this LED flasher circuit for turn-sign of your car model, or as the safety flasher of your bicycles. Only your imagination could limit the usage of this LED flasher circuit.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
