| Creating Blinking 5 Volt Lights? |
| (1/1) |
| jopenner:
I have a couple of the Happ's illuminated buttons on my cab that I had planned to light with my Ultimarc LED harness, which is hooked up to my iPac4. The problem, is that these lights rarely, if ever, light up. I was thinking about powering the illuminated buttons with a 5 volt line, but wanted to know the best way to get the lights to flash. Is it a capaistor that I need? If so, what rating do I use on a 5 Volt set-up? Thanks. John |

A capacitor alone will not make an LED blink. |

Rat Shack used to sell a blinking LED. I'm sure there available somewhere still. Building a circuit for this is overkill. There are many blinky things to be hacked. |
