I'm trying to make a pulsating (blue) LED effect for my motorcycle using ~30 to 50 LED's in a 3-by-3 parallel array, resistors, fuse, switch, etc, off the bike battery. I've got the LED's & correct resistors soldered. My question is, "how do I go about the pulsating process?" I've been reading about 555 timers and darlington's transistors, but I'm not sure how to wire these or which models to buy (off ebay? radioshack? ??). A schematic and explanation would be ideal, and beyond my expectations. I'm really not picky about how these pulse, just so long as they DO.
ANY help or advice is greatly appreciated. THANKS ![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I WILL NOT BE USING THE LED LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING. They are legal if parked in a parking lot. Hence car/bike shows...
fyi: Battery is 12-volts, unsure of ampage (6-12 amp hrs)
