In this post I have explained how to assemble IC 555 for generating interesting LED circuits with blinking, flashing and fading light effects with some minor modification and enhancements. Why use an IC 555 Astable The astable multivibrator mode is the most fundamental mode of operation of the IC 555. In this mode it basically […]

Blinking an LED with Delay – Arduino Basics
Here I have explained the bare minimum code for compiling an Arduino and also the method of blinking an LED using an Arduino board. Learning the Bare Basics Here we discus and try to understand the fundamental minimum code that one would need to compile an “Arduino Sketch” which consists the setup()method and the loop()method. […]
Blinking LED Circuit using LDR and Resistors
This is perhaps the most simplest looking LED flasher that does not depend on any semiconductor. This LED blinker circuit utilizes ordinary passive components like a few resistors, a capacitor and an LDR. Meaning, this LED flasher does not depend on transistors or ICs to create the blinking effect. Circuit Description The LED-LDR combination is […]
Blinking LED Bow Tie Circuit
In this article I have explained how to build an LED bow tie circuit which will activate and blink a few LED lights stuck on your bow tie in response to your voice sound. It means, the LED lights on your bow tie will flash and blink, whenever you speak, creating a very eye catching […]
Thunder Lightning Detector Circuit – LED Blinking in Response to Thunder
This simple circuit will enable you to visualize distant thunder lightning through a correspondingly choreographed LED flashes, exactly in accordance with the lightning that may be taking place somewhere in the distant sky, the response will be simultaneous and thus much prior to the sound that may reach your ears after a few seconds. RF […]
Blinking 3 LEDs (R,G,B) Sequentially Using Arduino Circuit
In this post I have explained how to run or blink three LEDs in sequence using Arduino. The post was written and submitted by: Jack Franko PROGRAM/* make RGB LEDs to blink in series one by one at intervalof 1000MS */ int R = 12;int G = 11;int B = 10;void setup(){ pinMode(R,OUTPUT); pinMode(G,OUTPUT); pinMode(B,OUTPUT);}void […]
