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 ...

Almost every micro-based project that I have designed in the past 25 years has had a flashing LED, originally as a “health” indicator, but the feature has expanded to use as a status indicator where ...

This simple and cheap circuit is not just for Christmas! There are just two resistors, a small-signal transistor such as a BC547, one ‘flashing’ LED and a string of ‘normal’ LEDs. The flashing LED ...
