  • Can you give me the R3 caracteristic?

  • Where can i get a parts list and schematic for this circuit?

  • if you use a 10k pot in place of resistor 2, you can vary the rate of flashes.

  • whats the woltage needed for the high current one?

  • I built this on a breadboard and and moving to a PDB soon. I drew up a schematic in Eagle that you can download from edcarlson{dot}com/files/led_st­robe.sch. I felt that the flash rate was too high with a 1uF cap, so I swapped it out for a 3.3uF which gives a slightly slower flash rate.

  • @ananababa123 if your using darlington pairs Mosfets, or other large transistors that are TO-220 packaged, the metal part where heatsinks are screwed to might be shorted to each other [I.E using the same heatsink] For mine I use TIP122s, the heatsink part is the collector that connects to the LEDs, using the same heatsink will result in both flashing at the same rate. Hope this helps :)
