Led Flasher: Department of Industrial Engineering, Batangas State University

This document describes the design and implementation of an LED flasher circuit. The circuit uses a 555 timer integrated circuit to generate pulses that turn LEDs on and off, causing them to flash. Components of the circuit include a 555 timer IC, resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and a power source. The circuit was built on a breadboard and tested to demonstrate its flashing function. Adjusting the resistor values controls the flashing speed. The students concluded it was a challenging but educational project to design and produce a working LED flasher circuit.

of the 10 micro F capacitor to pin 2 of the breadboard. Insert an LED on the
the IC and the breadboard. Which is Anode connected
to the positive rail of the breadboard and
its cathode connected to pin 3 of the IC
using 220 ohms resistor. Insert another
LED of the breadboard which is cathode
connected to the negative rail of the
breadboard and anode connected to the
pin 3 of the IC using other 220 ohms
resistor. Finally, connected the battery
on mobile charger to the breadboard.

V. Conclusion

The students therefore conclude


that the LED Flasher is challenging to
produce because is not easy to make
an output. For some reason, the
electronic components required are
not so familiar to the students
although simple to see but hard to do.
To function the LED Flasher the
students need to study on how to
connect the components properly.

VI. Recommendations

The students recommend that


before making a layout or an output,
make a circuit on multisim and test it
in multimeter then transfer the circuit
to the breadboard to produce a desired
circuit layout .

Other than that the students


recommend that you must if the
component that they were about to use
in making the LED Flasher is in
proper condition and easy to find in
the market.

In transferring the desired printed


layout to the breadboard, it must be
checked before putting on it because
the other component is sensitive .

You can use Printed circuit board To the Basic Electronics with
(PCB) in LED flasher ,but it is taken Measurement instructor, Engr. Sarah
so much time in soldering the B. Tolentino, who gave them
component . knowledge and guidance in making
this project throughout the entire
period.
