Bicolour LED Flasher Circuit
Bicolour LED Flasher Circuit
When output at pin 3 of IC 555 goes high it operates on group of LEDs. By inverting the IC’s low
output by pnp transistor BC558 the other group of LEDs is made to flash.
AS shown in circuit diagram the LEDs are arranged in alternately reversed order so that a “twinkle
twinkle little stars” effect is produced. The 100K preset VR1 sets the blinking rate.
To maintain simplicity I omitted the current limiting resistor. So, the red and green LEDs may not
flash with equal intensity (as they require different threshold voltage).
