Hello,
Well, I don't know to much about electronics, and only really need to learn a little bit to create this project I'm working on.
I'm trying to create a punching bag "Add-On" that has two lamps that light on randomly, but only one at any given time. The purpose is to allow me to practice some self defense techniques using the lamps to represent which side the attacker is comming from.
I did research on this, and came up with the 555, and playing around with it, I can not produce the random results I'm trying to achieve, which brings me to believe that I need another chip.
I need it to reset about every 3 seconds, and stay on for about 1 or 2 seconds (otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell if one lamp or LED stayed on for two "turns".)
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
