The LED flasher circuits below operate on a single 1.5 volt battery. The circuit on the upper right uses the popular LM3909 LED flasher IC and requires only a timing capacitor and LED. The top left circuit, designed by Andre De-Guerin illustrates using a.... -
The question sometimes comes up of how to cascade 4017 decade counters for more than 10 sequencial stages. The LED sequencer below shows a possible solution using a few extra parts. When power is applied, the 15K resistor and 10uF cap at pin 15 will reset.... -
This circuit is used to slowly illuminate and fade a pair of red LEDs (light emitting diodes). The fading LEDs could be installed as 'eyes' in a small pumpkin or skull as a Halloween attraction, or mounted in a Christmas tree ornament. Or, they might be used.... -
General There are many 9V chaser circuits that seem to waste about 7V when driving LEDs that are only about 2V. This project is unique, because it uses only two inexpensive alkaline battery cells totaling 3V for power. Since most of the waste is eliminated,.... -
A constant-current power LED driver circuit is shown in Fig. 1. Q1 is turned on by R1 and acts as a variable resistor. Q2 is an “over-current” switch and R2 sets the maximum current. For the power LEDs that I use, the 1W circuit draws about 440mA from the DC.... -

7-Segment LED Display is a very useful component, but also a very confusing and difficult piece to use for beginners. It won`t be difficult once you get it working for the first time. It basically consists of 7 LEDs, (8 if include decimal point). Just like.... -
A while ago, as my first microcontroller project, I made a Pong game on a 5G—7 LED display, but then nothing became of it. Recently I was given a hard hat as part of a uniform (for an engineering competition) and told to customize it, and remembered pong..... -
This Instructable covers the assembly of a circuit capable of PWM-ing ( pulse width modulating ) a high-power RGB LED strip and programming an Arduino to cycle through a range of colors. In this context, high power is 9-12 volts. I will discuss how to.... -

In order that the MonomeSerial software `sees` the monome clone, it`s necessary to change the serial number of the arduino`s EEPROM to resemble the serial number of a real monome. I successfully followed Melka`s instructions that have been posted on the.... -
This evening as I came home from a paragliding appointment, I had a feeling that I must improve my yesterday-written RGB LED driver code. So I cleaned it up a bit, and wrote a lot of comments to make it more useful for educational purposes. I`m alredy over.... -
First thing`s first, what software to use I went with CadSoft Eagle primarily because there are lots of tutorials out there covering it, and that seemed like a good place to start. Once I understand the process I can worry about what software I use, but for.... -
After I smashed about 5 mobile phones and collected some white LEDs, I decided to build some some LED searchlight. There are two ways to solve this problem: first, Chinese version, just connect some white LED`s to battery and use some ballast resistor. And.... -
This project illustrates how to use an ATTiny microcontroller and an RGB LED to create a coloured light that cyles continuously through random colours, but changes colour dramatically at the press of a switch. Why My kids had this $2 novelty pen that did.... -
Multiplexed displays are electronic displays where the entire display is not driven at one time. Instead, sub-units of the display (typically, rows or columns for a dot matrix display or individual characters for a character orientated display, occasionally....
