I got all the parts I needed from www.farnell.com. Check out the links next to the components!- 100R Resistor
- 1K Resistor
- 2N2222 Transistor
- 330 uF Capacitor
- Led
The capacitor value isn't critical. A lower value will result in faster oscillation and shorter flashes. The 2N2222 NPN transistor seems to work reliably in this circuit. Other transistors may be more temperamental, and others might not work at all.
This is the circuit:
After soldering everything together it should look like this:
And here's a little video where you can see the Led flashing with a high frequency:
great post
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing blog structure! How long have you been blogging for? you make blogging glance easy. The overall look of your site is great, as well as the content!
ReplyDeletegoogle knows it :-D

Thanks for announcement this advisory article.
ReplyDeletewhat is Capacitor 330 uf but value ? 330 uf 25v ? 30v ? how many voltage for capacitor ?
ReplyDeleteI have tried the circuit above but why isn't it flashing? What must gone wrong?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you used a different LED ?
Deletewhat kind of LED should i use?
DeleteHi, does your LED turn on permanently but not flashing?? I got mine ON permanently without flashing too. Help anyone??
Deletecan i use 10leds ? if can how they connect? jaya19995@gmail.com
ReplyDeletewhy is the base not connected to any?
ReplyDeleteHi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering
ReplyDeletewhich blog platform are you using for this website? I'm getting tired of Wordpress because I've had problems with
hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
