LED Flasher Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

This LED flasher give similar circuit with the previous transistor LED flasher, but this circuit use a 555  integrated circuit chip as the active component. Here is the schematic diagram of the LED flasher circuit: This circuit gives alternating LED flashing, but with different flashing period between LED 1 and LED 2. The [...]

Self-Writing LED Display Sign Controller

circuit schematic

This is a circuit of self-writing LED display sign controller. This circuit consist of eight power shift register which are installed in cascade. The shift registers are used to turn on a string of 64 lamps or LEDs sequentially. Here is the circuit : When the shift register clock (SRCK) is clocked, the [...]

Simple Transistor Tester Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

Testing whether a transistor is shorted or open usually done by ohm meter. You test if the base to emitter  or collector permit a current flow in one direction. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: The 555 timer ( IC1 ) operate as a 12hz  oscillator. The output of this oscillator (pin 3) [...]

1.5V LED FLasher Using 3 Transistors

circuit schematic

LED flasher circuit here will flash a LED using only 1.5 volts  supply voltage. Normally, to make any LED lamp works, you need more than 2 volts power supply. This because LED will work only when the supply voltage is higher than its forward bias voltage, around 2 volts  for red LED, and slightly lower [...]
