Infinity Mirror Beating Heart - The Learning Circuit

[@macdaddyns]

Nice job, showing that you can experiment by swapping caps is a really good way for kids to learn!

Cool project, I love infinite things. Most of all, cool t-shirt!

[@maker_karen1785]

Haha. Thanks! I love the IT Crowd and thought the 8-bit design was especially excellent.

[@MrCardeso]

Cute project! Thanks, Karen!

Love it! I put a laser and a 7 color flash beating heart in my duce robot it has been much fun .cool build 😁👍🤖

"Button it up" I haven't heard that colloquialism in years. I moved overseas in 2013. 😁

Very cool project. I wonder if perhaps making the LEDs fade off and on with the same frequency instead of the abrupt transition would provide a nice effect too.

Muy bueno muchas Gracias 💖

Nice job, such a nice little method to give life if you will to something which may otherwise be bland. Also, wouldn’t having a 10 and 4.7 microfarad capacitor in series give you roughly 3.2 microfarad? That may have been closer to your desired speed.

شكرا فيديوهات جيدة ومفيدة

Cool!!!

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Could you run it with two timers in parallel? That way you could have it beat more realistically, no? Like .....-..-.....-..-.....-..-.....-..- etc.? Even make the first beat slightly weaker than the secondary, like a real heartbeat.😁

[@maker_karen1785]

Theoretically that would work. However, since parts are not manufactured perfectly to spec, I don't think it would be possibly to get perfectly synced and consistent timing continuously. Not with just using discrete components. If someone knows differently, please speak up.

Hi Karen! Instead of completely turning off the LEDs, it would be better to leave the minimum brightness. IMHO

[@maker_karen1785]

That would be really cool. A 555 generated a square wave. I would need to replace it with something that generates a sine wave or possibly uses PWM. Any ideas?

[@Workshopshed]

@@maker_karen1785 if you had two resistors in series with the LEDs you could use your square wave to bypass one of them.

Hello Karen

[@eanerickson8915]

put the capacitors in series

[@maker_karen1785]

To what end?

[@eanerickson8915]

My mistake. Nice project.
