Make a Blinky Circuit

This simple circuit blinks two LEDs.

Difficulty: e a s y .. You need to be able to read a schematic

Step 1: Materials

To make this circuit, you'll need a few components:

Part Source (pictures are clickable!)
2x 10KΩ resistors Sparkfun Radioshack
2x 220Ω resistors

Sparkfun Radioshack
2x 10-47µF capacitors

Sparkfun Radioshack
2x LEDs

Sparkfun Radioshack
2x PNP transistors

~~ = This is common part can be salvaged from almost anything

~~ = You can salvage this, but if it's bought, there will be leftovers

Tools:

Step 2: The Circuit

The circuit consists of resistors, capacitors, and LEDs. The 10KΩ resistors and the capacitors do the job of keeping a steady pace, while the transistors are responsible for turning the LED on/off.

See step 1 for a list of materials required for this circuit.

Step 3: Hooking it Up

Connect all of the components as seen in the schematic and watch it blink away! =)
