Abstract I. Introduction
The most widely used of all optoelectronic LED Flasher is a simple circuit which will

Qnty Components
The bicolor LEDs are used in this circuit and
connected to each other as shown in the
schematic. The PWM signal is the output of
the 555timer given to transistor, which acts 1 47 KOhms
as an inverter. When the pulse generated by
555 timers is low, transistor will get ON and
LEDs will get ON. When the input of
transistor is high, transistor will get OFF and
LEDs are made OFF. This ON/OFF of 2 220 Ohms
LEDs will go for every pulse width signal
cycle. This mechanism will make the LEDs
flashing.

Circuit Designing 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.
