LED & Timer Workshop

[Papermodder]

Hello Everyone.
There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation on the proper use of LEDs and timers.
If there is enough interest, I'm willing to put up my engineering experience to run some workshops on understanding, application, design and construction of LED and timer circuits.
Probably not till after the contest finishes.

Sounds good, I have already posted my limited knowledge so anything that will help out more would be great!

 

[MrNatural]

please! would love to know more about using timing chips.

 

[cobraleader]

more information would be helpful

I for one would be very keen.
I just brought a lil book on the 55 chips (and a pack of chips) over the weekend.

Not all of the diagrams are relvant to scale models but they make good reference material

This would be fun indeed. You can't ever get enough of knowledge on electronics.

I would be grateful for any info on lighting that I can get. I'm an electronics idiot.
