LED fade with 555 timer and capacitors

[wcwine82]

yea, stand with you face right over it

I have an LED strip that must draw an amp or more to reach full efficiency.

Unfortunately, my power supply under the circumstances is limited to about 500mA.

Will using a large value cap allow it to reach full luminosity?

Thank you SO MUCH, you solved my problem. Check back on my channel within a week I should have posted my little tinkering project thing :)

[sparKx52]

there's a much simpler way to do this. your using extra parts for nothing... nice effect nevertheless

[skatercurlykid]

do you have the values for the resistors??

[gegady]

Whaa? What kind of witchcraft is this?!

Very nice video quality, even in normal quality! What camera did you use?

[krisimpossible]

It's a Canon A620 in macro video mode. Great camera for the price.

Hey chris this is really nice, can you post a schematic. I built a 555 timer and I am using a cap to fade it. Unfortunately, it fades down well but I can't get it to fade up.
