  • Use a new type of circuit part, and integrated chip (IC) called the 555 timer as we wire up alternating red and blue lights in this breadboard circuit building tutorial.
    Take our entire Breadboard Circuits Class as we build simple circuits, begin to use chips like the 555 timer, and even program in Arduino!

    Excellent tutorial! I’m glad I’m not the only person who doesn’t know why pin 6 and pin 2 are connected. It just seems like a part of life 😀

      this is to trigger the flashing effect that alternate between the led polarities, thats why blue pos(+ or anode) and blue neg (- or cathode) is inverted to the red + and - .

    The rst(reset) pin of the 555 timer is active low, meaning when you connect the rst(pin 4) to ground(-supply voltage) the 555 is locked into the reset mode. Generally one connects pin 4 to +supply voltage(pin 8) to make certain it won't drift low with electronic noise present in the environment. Also the datasheet recommends a small value capacitor, 0.1 uF, or 100 nF, between pin 5 and ground if you won't require the CTRL function, for the same reason.
    Neither is required in most instances for a standard 555 IC, but becomes more important for the low power CD7555 CMOS IC.
    Otherwise well done.

    This is fantastic. The only missing detail is to note that the Red and Blue LEDs operate on different voltages. I was using two reds and got wonky results.
    Red operates on about 2-3 volts, blue is about 5 volts.
    100uf capacitor was a really slow blink, but 10uf was an easy swap.

      You have a very strange leds, I would say. Usually red is working with 1,8 to 2 volts, and a blue one needs from 2.6 to 2.9 v to open.
      5 v to lit the blue led means that this led has an additional resistor integrated inside

    You connected to pin 7 instead of pin 6 threshold in one of the steps

    8:05, can you please explain why is red light on ? it seems the current is going from pin 3 to the negative light of red light which is wrong.

    There's flat side on the LED's and so they "tell you" also...right?

  • @stevewinwood3674
    @stevewinwood3674 Год назад

    Most versions of this circuit connect the capacitor to positive supply not pin 3. And you don't have the capacitor connected through a resistor to pin 7 to discharge.

    I want to do a traffic light situation but with like several rows of it being led lights green, then yellow then red. How would I go about this and I also need to use timed relays.

  • @potfriend8135

    I did this, only the blue light is on(not flashing) red one is off, even tho I copied the whole layout

    Your videos are great and the little animations thing you added was a very big move but I think you should also le us see the schematic representation of the connections you are doing so we can understand clearly. Some of us are struggling with Basic Electronic course. Thank you😊

      You can simple connect 2 more led parallel to the other ones

    • @apersonyoudontknow3346
      @apersonyoudontknow3346 Год назад

      the led resistor is 500 green=5 black=0 so 50 * 10^4 /1000=500

      1k( which include red line) other one is 10k, and cap value all on you, 100uF works well. Cap valuse is just about the led lighting tine
