I think the lack of delay is perfect.

Its kinda like trying to argue with C3pO

Trust me ... google the subject you will find websites and conjecture on how best to build one.

It involves a 555 chip.. big supprise.

As an aside, I found you could drive about 15 LED's in parallel with a 556 in astable mode running about 60-70 Hz. directly from the output saving lots of battery power! The 555 doesn't have the source or sink current rating. No need for a load resistor either.

Oh, man, that's great! I want one too.

Syxx_Killer · 01-05-10, 06:15 PM

hahaha I love it! Count me in as wanting one, too!
