Alternating led flasher with 555 ic

[@BayouSnake1]

Thanks for showing us how to do this. When I finally got it going (after changing a few leads that I put in wrong) it was such a pleasure to see it work so nice!!!I'm going to let it run all night just so I can look at it.Thanks again.

[@mydogdoobie]

Blessings, i almost gave up. I have 50, ne555p ic's. I have been trying to get anything to work. Tried just about all the tutorials on youtube. The road has been long and tiresome. Today i drove to another state to aquire 4 different brand 555 ic's only to get there and be told that only 2 were available. And to make matters worse they were not even true 555 ic's but nte955m. I was told that they are just as good. I bought them reluctantly and drove home. Tired the first tutorial from yourtube l and nothing... came across this tutorial and book. The lights blinked..😲. They are blinking fast and i increase the capacitor and still blinking fast. Im happy that i atleast got it this far. Thank u again!

[@MYNICEEV]

Thank you. You helped me out of a pickle. My breadboard was naf. Tossed it and soldered circuit spider fashion. Worked first time. Many thanks.

[@christabellearnold2345]

Best ever surcuit.I tried other veideoes but it did not work your video is real and understanding √√√...thanks.

[@aaroncayetano7598]

Thanks Protronics for sharing this circuit. It helped me big time with my Finals Semester Project for my FMT 105 class at SJCC.

[@Protronics99]

Hi thanks for taking interest in this video. If you were looking to add a pot to adjust the flashing rate you would connect it between pin 6 and 7. Hope this helps!

[@stupid_tree7158]

Protronics99 Is there a link to the diagram?

[@rohanrydre1297]

I tried changing the capacitors and that too worked well. Small the capacitor, faster the blink rate. Thanks.

[@realtrickybilly]

Thank you so much, I have followed your instructions and it works. Please make more breadboard projects when you have time, like a phone detector, etc.

[@robhildreth2381]

Thank you for the video. I was trying to figure out how to get my lights on my drone to flash like cop lights. This worked perfectly.

[@Max_Weight]

dude, thank you so much, finally a vid which DID work for me thanks bro!

[@whayden001]

I don't know why, but I can't stop dancing!

[@heddybaby1000]

Great video...Great Instructions... Great Engineer!

[@NickyRoads]

itd be cool to add a potentiometer to connect pins 7 and 8. adjustable blinky

[@rohanrydre1297]

Tried it. Works great. Thanks a lot Sir.

[@naderhumood]

Great job Sir Appreciated..........👍

[@ManuelAlejandroDiazZapataINGMK]

This is awesome, just what i needed

[@tommarthaller]

How could I modify this to work with 12V DC power to alternately flash two 2057 auto bulbs (26 watt, 2.1 amp draw) in a DIY RR crossing signal?

[@amiteshmagar6855]

An amazing project. Thanx bro

[@serdarsever8077]

thank you brother, he liked it very much

[@daveyedgar]

cool vid. if you wanted to connect a pot to adjust the flashing rate, where would you connect the leads

[@EgoEimai]

Great video !

[@ArrayzableMusic]

Cool 555 circuit! Where did you get the music?

[@flash69988]

it works could you add more leds?

[@svtwodrifters6690]

Tried 20 times, and doesn't work for me !

[@MomentofEngineering]

BASICALLY YOU ARE USING SINKING AND SOURCING CAPABILITIES OF THE 555

[@Protronics99]

yes

[@randytravis5893]

Works, what would this circuit be used for, except flashing lights?

[@dylankuhn2639]

And when i made it the blue LED blinks except the Red LED?

[@lanclotgood4660]

how would we control the pulse speed and or make it into a three phase distributor so 3 leds flash in a rotation and control the speed from around 100 to 500 pulses a minute

[@jhonagnesgalit1892]

hi I just want to ask what may be the problem if the ic 555 only heats up and neither of the leds are lighted? thanks

[@JoaquinSanchez-db9gk]

How can I make the red and blue led blink the same amount of time, when you changed the resistor that connects pin 7 and 8 you can see how the blue led stays on longer than the red does

[@trevortjes]

my 100uF Cap only made the blue LED light up not even blink. Now I use a 10uF Cap and the duty cycle is not even. The blue LED is on for a short time and off for a ling time and the red LED is on for a long time and off for a short time. Any ideas?

[@trevortjes]

trevortjes Didn't notice your blinker also alternates without a duty cycle of 50%. Guess I have to find the right cap

[@barnetpluscommittee238]

The 10 k resistor should be connected between the 100 uF capacitor and the 555 output (Pin 3) to give 50% duty cycle and reduce the current consumption by 4.5 mA (as the 1k resistor is pulled to ground by the discharge pin for 50% of the time).

[@AimanALDwyhes]

nice job man keep up the good work. I wonder why the red LED is weakly shinging while the blue one is bright enough?!

[@Protronics99]

the internal resistance of the blue led might be lower than the red one this can be easily fixed by adjusting the resistor values connected to each

[@Inquire98]

Hello, How are you doing today? To answer my own question, I just finished building that circuit today. I am assuming, when circuit is applied power it comes on (high); green light, thus it switches off (low); red light. After doing some homework, I added a 0.001uF, 500V ceramic disc capacitor to pin 5 of the IC 555. I will now do the calculations to determine the time interval each light is off or no. Let me know. I look forward to hearing from you...

[@saturnocarservice]

i did exactly the same on the video and it runs ok but if i have both led connected one of them does not completely turn off when blinking, just bright less when the other one turns on. what could be my problem?

[@saturnocarservice]

if i disconnect the other one, the one that bright less starts working fine, turning on an off completely

[@railbuilderdhd]

Can a power supply of 12 or 15 volts be used rather then the 9 volt battery?

[@alexandermartin7343]

LEDs are both on but not flashing. Why?

[@mckennethpanopio6138]

Can you help me about the logic circuit and truth table of this.. TY

[@caylasmirawooding2251]

Nice, But I would have liked it if you had a written schematic. I will still build this.

[@shanmukhimaddipati7700]

could you plzzz add a description link for this project with circuit diagram?? plzzzz

it works .. but could u tell me the mechanism of the circuit or how is it works ? simply plz ..

[@hazimzaid3071]

thank you mate finally I did it

[@sachinm4776]

Sir it is not flashing what shall I do

[@sagarn18]

same here..both leds are lit at the same time without blinking alternately..frustrating af

[@LegoTechnicsRule]

He explained it wrong. When he says cathode, it should be anode, and vice versa

[@travisonyima2243]

can a solar cell be used in place of the battery?

INFINITE, BUT THEY WILL FLASH IN THE SAME ALTERNATING SEQUENCE

[@raghadabdullah9773]

please can you upload the circuit diagram for this project as possible as you can .. I need it so much

[@Inquire98]

How do I know, when the circuit is off or on???

[@digitalsailor]

I am using 2 LED (5+4 KOhm) since I didn't have a 10 K one. The LED's are flashing together very fast. Your video shows they are alternately lighting, Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks. GKP

[@linghampanch7709]

[@ravipittu4997]

hi..... i see your projects it's really good.. in this project "alternating led flasher "you use only two leds but i want to connect more leds because in this project connect to two names (RAVI and ram) so you can help me plz....

[@jheppey]

can i see the schematic diagram of this? Thank you very much

Would you please upload circuit diagram

[@aswani3711]

It finally worked :) . But, how could i possibly increase the brightness of the bulb, because one of them seems a bit dimmer than the other.

[@cybershake2744]

+Mad Axe the dimmer use Resistor 330 Ohm, while the brighter use 220 Ohm. if you wanna get the equal Brightness change to the same resistor number

[@aswani3711]

+Teh Chayaphon thanks for the tip

[@jean-claudegillet6319]

Vos leds sont-elles les mêmes = même origine ?

[@suvammaji9078]

Where this circuit application?

[@175griffin]

mine came out weird?! only one led would light up and if i turn off power and turn it back on it would randomly change to the other led one time. i put a much smaller capacitor in it and a potentiometer in place of the 10k and not it switched the led depending on the resistor value. above about 7k its one led and below its the other. what is going on? i didnt even know that was possible without a microcontroller

[@Protronics99]

Not sure what your problem is would need to see a schematic of your circuit to be sure but check all your connections according to the video and how you wired the pot. Thanks

[@175griffin]

i kinda fixed it and forgot where the connections were. oh well

[@manjotarora3980]

What is the fault in the circuit if one is blinking and other is not blinking

[@SuperLoops]

you probably have the led that isnt blinking in the wrong polarity. one led has its cathode connected to pin 3 of the 555 and the other led has its anode connected to pin 3

[@SoummajitBhadra]

i think this is not gonna work! b'cz the pin 3 of the 555 ic will send a logic high or a logic low only any one at a time. Therefore whenever the output will be high, the pin 3 will light up both the led(s) simultaneously, as they are both connected in parallel with the output, voltage & current will go to both led(s) together.

[@madalapubabu8631]

One led is blinking and the other is not blinking what is the reason

Hello there. Lovely video you done here. This type of video help would be even better with a clear simple circuit coloured drawing of the wire and parts and how they and where they connect to each other and the + and - shown? This is just the type of flashing led set up I've been looking for to help me out of a problem of getting leds to flash on for 1 second then turn of for 2 seconds? I need this type of flash rate for the 2nd set of led lights on the amt/ert star trek ship enterprise models I am building! Their navigation leds have to flash for 1 second then turn off for 2 seconds then back on for 1 second and like that onwards? I can do the other running strobe 4 leds that the ship has which flash 1st a second already with a simple flashing led set up. But here's the thing on you set up here you got 2 leds flashing like I need but How do I do a set of 9 leds to flash together on for 1 second and off for 2 seconds onwards like that? Please can you send me a simple clear drawn out drawing of the circuit layout for 9 leds that will flash on for 1 second then off for 2 seconds onwards? The power needed and the right circuit parts needed? So all the values clearly written down for the circuit to work like that? Thank you so much in advance from a non-electronics models builder.

[@josephmazzulla646]

need circuit diagram

[@austinharrelle]

+Protronics99 I love the video! I would like your advice with my project. I need to send a welding machine a operational command via voltage. 0vcc = 0 output amps, 15v = 200 amps. This factory circuit works great, however I want to send a pulse command. If I build the circuit shown in your video and instead of powering led bulbs I would like to send a 50% duty cycle square wave message. So here's my question how would I wire a potentiometer to increase or decrease the pulse rate ( 1 hertz to 300hrz)? I know I can send a signal voltage into PIN 3 and have a signal out of PIN 3 at the same voltage then just use a POT on output of PIN 3 to change the "background" voltage to a percentage Example 7v _____ _______ | | | | __| |__2.5v__| | 0v------------------------------------ / -- variable----/ (in hrz) So the machine would give 150 amps then 75amps 50% duty cycle at a desired hertz. Thanks hope to hear from you soon.

[@austinharrelle]

Well the "sketch" of the wave didn't come out good but I hope you understand lol

[@austinharrelle]

Nevermind I got it. Instead of a 47k resistor I used a 100k pot www.seekic.com/uploadfile/ic-circuit/s2013350423301.jpg
