sorry its taken me some time to reply. my browser was screwy. anyway, thanks for all the replies. i am a senior in high school, so there is no deadline on this project. i love building circuits for fun. i almost have 3 years of programming experience through classes and robotics. i dont knownhow different programming apic is.
the reason i want to stay away from ics at the moment is because i wish to master basic components first. --doggy posted two links. i have built both of these. my question now is, do i add a third transistor to the flip-flop circuit to make three lights blink?
also, would i have to modify the circuit in any way to flash light bulbs instead of leds.
thanks, greeneyehawk
