Almost every micro-based project that I have designed in the past 25 years has had a flashing LED, originally as a “health” indicator, but the feature has expanded to use as a status indicator where ...

You know how it is. You’ve got that new project running, and while it doesn’t consume much power, it also doesn’t give much indication of whether it’s functioning or just sitting there with a dead ...

This is a flashing led lights circuit powered from a 12V DC power supply that uses the well known 555 IC. Flashing lights have many and varied applications in life. They are used as warning lights on ...

I’m not really sure if this is good or bad news for end consumers, but a couple of Japanese companies have developed a technology that makes it possible to transmit information from blinking LEDs ...

Researchers say sensitive data can be extracted from air-gapped networks via a wireless router’s blinking LEDs. Researchers have uncovered a new data extraction hole inside air-gapped networks that ...

This is a simple flashing led circuit with 2 leds and 2 NPN transistors. It illustrates the behavior of transistors and capacitors and if you use an oscilloscope it will be very easy to determine what ...
