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 [...]

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 [...]

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) [...]

This 555 circuit will activate a buzzer and turn on a LED lamp when you touch the probe. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: lf you touch the plates, the lamp and the buzzer will be activated for a predetermined time period. The time period is determined by 100k resistor and the 10uF [...]

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 [...]
