Make a Blinky Circuit
This simple circuit blinks two LEDs.
Difficulty: e a s y .. You need to be able to read a schematic
Step 1: Materials
To make this circuit, you'll need a few components:
~~ = This is common part can be salvaged from almost anything
~~ = You can salvage this, but if it's bought, there will be leftovers
Tools:
Breadboard
3.5-5.5V power supply
Jumper wires
Step 2: The Circuit
The circuit consists of resistors, capacitors, and LEDs . The 10KΩ resistors and the capacitors do the job of keeping a steady pace, while the transistors are responsible for turning the LED on/off.
See step 1 for a list of materials required for this circuit.
Step 3: Hooking it Up
Connect all of the components as seen in the schematic and watch it blink away! =)
