These days, if you want to flash some LEDs, you’d probably grab a microcontroller. Maybe you’d go a little more old-school, and grab a 555. However, [Jacob] is even more hardcore than that, as ...

Ordinary LED flashers turn the LED on and off abruptly, which can get a little irritating after a while. The circuit shown here is more gentle on the eyes: the light intensity changes very slowly and ...

Here is a simple circuit that starts playing the car horn whenever your car is in reverse gear. The circuit (1) employs dual timer NE556 to generate the sound. One of the timers is wired as an astable ...

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 ...

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 ...

Three new Star Simpson’s Circuit Classics boards have arrived at the Adafruit online electronic store in the form of the Dual-LED Flasher, the Stepped Tone Generator, and the Bargraph Voltage ...

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 ...
