Hi all, ok, yes first post and maybe asking too much but am well stuck tbh...
Bit of background, got a heap of LED's, some 555's, some stripboard pile of resistors n caps. Just need to know how to put them together
What am I trying to do !?
Ok, am trying to make an indicator "pack" for a bike, idea being able to flash 20 leds , being able to switch off but also to have an "auto off" after approx 60 seconds..
So, from what I've read so far will need a 555 setup Astable, 750ms on and 750ms off..
then another timer that is triggered when the indicator circuit is triggered and resets the indicator circuit after the preset time...
Maybe that should be the other way round ?
So the main timer is triggered by the indicator switch, which triggers the indicator circuit??
AM a bit lost to be honest as to how to get it all to work together and the best way to do it..
Can anyone help out a neewbie please ???
TIA
