Very cool circuit.

Thanks Electronzap, and hi to a fellow Tuber. I have watched some of your channel previously.

@@paulpkae That's awesome :)

I don't know why the logarithm decided i needed to know that a 555 wasn't a timer but i am glad that I've subscribed because your content is so interesting.

[@paulpkae]

That's great! Thanks for Subscribing.

Timing perfect just received a batch of 555 after watching your previous video , this has got to be first project Thanks😆

[@paulpkae]

Brilliant! Enjoy playing around with your circuits and do let us know how you get on.

[@paulsto6516]

That was fun! Thanks for posting.

[@paulpkae]

Glad you enjoyed it!

cool!

i got the first explanation where you connect one LED to output and gnd, and the other LED reversed polorised to output and vcc. but i didnt understand the second diagram where both ends of LED sets are connected to both outputs

[@paulpkae]

It's a bit confusing because the Output pin can both "Source" and "Sink" current. So when it's HI, it provides a positive voltage. When it's LO, it's like connecting to ground. Does this help?

[@emreparlak2729]

@paulpkae yes thank you. You also explain this in the following video with the simplified version

Use potentiometers instead of resistors.
