You know how it is. You’ve got that new project running, and while it doesn’t consume much power, it also doesn’t give much indication of whether it’s functioning or just sitting there with a dead ...

The project illustrates high power LED being driven to create a cheap and simple blinking LED. The idea behind the blinking effect is done by connecting the LED in series with a blinking light bulb ...

This is tutorial number 1 from our series of Arduino tutorials and in this part I will talk about blinking an LED using the one already available on the Arduino Uno board or using an external LED to ...

An earlier Idea For Design (“Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead,” Sept. 27, 2007, p. 52) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a ...

Analog Devices Inc. announces the ADP8866 LED charge pump backlight driver, which features independent control of nine LED current sinks, programmable LED blinking sequences, and low operating current ...

It is a pretty common first project to use an Arduino (or similar) to blink an LED. Which, of course, brings taunts of: you could have used a 555! You can, of course, also use any sort of oscillator, ...
