hello,
:arrow: NOTE: i exchanged c1 and c2 with 220 uF ones to slow down the process...
first i will explain the observation on this circuit when i realized it:
1- first led2 lights for some time and begin to fade (i gess because the capacitor C1 discharge)..
2- exactly at the moment that led2 begin fading, led1 light up, while led1 is still fading...
3- At a given moment led1 will begin fading and, at the same moment, led2 light up
1-led2 lights for some time..... [And the cycle 1-2-3 continues...]
Now, I KNOW what components decide of all the timings, this is not my problem, but i cannot figure out exaclt how it works.. and i did not find good sites to explain this, i think it is an important ussue.
2nd: while i know R2 and R3 will slow down the discharging process of the 2 capacitors, i dont know actually WHY ???, i would have understood if they were in parallel with the capacitors...am going crazy! :twisted: :evil:
