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 ...

With cycling safety in mind, I bought a pair of low power red LED things that replace the bungs in the end of drop handlebars. They are a neat way to get a bit of extra visibility – and to give a ...

Recently I converted the parking lights/turn signals and the taillights/turn signals in my 1956 Chevrolet to LEDs. The good part is they are really bright; the bad part is now the turn signals won't ...

The STM8S001J3 is an 8-bit microcontroller that offers 8 Kbytes of flash program memory, plus an integrated true data EEPROM. It is referred to as a low-density device in the STM8S microcontroller ...

LTspice is a free version of spice from Linear Technology, and it is delightfully easy to use, intuative, and seems to work rather well. Note, there is a flasher version 3 Current through component ...

Inspired by printed circuit boards, the building block of all electronics, a Dutch designer has created an LED-based light installation that draws upon the familiar etching pattern inside most devices ...

[Tito] entered a Self-Charging LED Flasher into the Component Abuse Challenge. It’s a simple re-build of a design by the unstoppable [Burkhard Kainka], and while [Tito] doesn’t explain its workings in ...
