  • "uf" isnt "uf" its actually µF which stands for microfarad

  • @209hii

    That is just fabulous. I have been told that about 6 times on this comment page, so IDK. I do know it means that, I filmed it 2 years ago when I was 12. ok!

  • Resistor 1 - This resistor has to be a smaller ohm amount than resistor 2.(Ex-10k)

    Resistor 2 - This resistor has to be a smaller ohm amount than resistor 1. (Ex-100k)

    Resistor 3 - This resistor lowers the power before it feeds the L.E.D..(Ex-360ohm)

    Capacitor 1 - The capacitor controls the pulse rate of the 555ic (Resistors 1 and 2 effect the pulse rate aswell).(Ex-10uf)

    and in your video you said 10 k capacitor and 100k capacitor, is it the resistor or capacitor?

    thank you!

  • @marc1979Guitare

    Resistor2 - This resistor should have a larger ohm amount than resistor 1

    When I said 10k capacitor I ment to say resistor as explaned in the annonations

  • Where do you purchase your parts?

  • @merq100 probably because I did not crap on the floor

  • Great video, I loved it! I know this video is from a while ago, but I want you to make more! By the way does one of your parents work at an electronics store, because you have a lot of parts!

  • @Flea5000000000 miiiiiiiiiiiiicro fair add...  lol

  • the LED didn't blink. But I did follow every step.

  • why deosnt anyone do 556 timer chip

  • @chipperdoda change capacitor or resisters

  • @209hii whatever uf is still fine it's almost the same.

  • @Chehimi3Videos neither do i... but i think, and i went and copied and pasted it from somewhere lol

  • @209hii Dude, lots of people don't know the Alt-Key for that.

  • I did this!! It blinks, but not very fast!
