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
Wow, 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!
google knows it 😀
@Pharmacy 1: I definitely agree with you. He has an awesome blog out here. Informative and really helpful posts. 😀

Thanks for announcement this advisory article.
what is Capacitor 330 uf but value ? 330 uf 25v ? 30v ? how many voltage for capacitor ?
I have tried the circuit above but why isn't it flashing? What must gone wrong?
Maybe you used a different LED ?
what kind of LED should i use?
can i use 10leds ? if can how they connect? jaya19995@gmail.com
why is the base not connected to any?
Hi, does your LED turn on permanently but not flashing?? I got mine ON permanently without flashing too. Help anyone??

is this circuit is working in low voltages.
I don't understand how does the circuit work.There is no conection to the 2N2222's base. Does the circuit need at least 12 volts, or it can work with smaller voltages (about 3,6,9V)?
The 2N2222 is NPN type and I can see that the emmiter lead is connected to the POSITIVE RAIL! And the collector is connected to the 0V RAIL! Doesn't this destroy the transistor?
Amazing, incredible weblog framework! Just how long are you currently running a blog with regard to? a person help to make running a blog look simple. The entire appear of the website is excellent, along with the content material!
