No offense, but in your next video with anything doing with electrical circuits, try adding enthusiasm! The human mind today gets bored easily, and with a little bit of enthusiasm, you can grab your viewer's attention! Great video btw.

Does anyone know if you can hook up more than one LED to this?

Why do you need the second capacitor? the one who exits from 5 to ground

Great video. Thanks!

@C00PProductions I'm fairly certain that the 555 requires 4.5V to 18V to operate correctly.

I notice you shown the pin arrangements from 1 to 4 and 5 to 8 respectively, but you forgot to mention that the chip has a notch cut out at the top to indicate it's orientation on the board. Otherwise this is a great video. Thought i'd just let you know.

I am really impressed that a nice young lady has such a great interest in Electronics. I have my associates degree in Electronics Engineering and am currently working towards my Bachelors degree in the same field. There are two ladies in my class of 16. I hope you pursue a career in Electronics so that you can help inspire more young ladies to enjoy the same thing I love, Electronics! Great Job! keep up the awesome work. I can't wait to see all of your vids.

This worked great! It is the fourth instructional video I've used for the blinking LED and yours is the first that led me thru successfully. Congratulations on an excellent teaching ability. Plus you show plenty of enthusiasm.
