I have need to create a slow flashing light for a project and I'm not all that good with circuit design.
I'm not picky about what voltage type and amount. I think I can work with 110VAC, 12VDC, 5VDC, 3VDC, etc. incandescent or LED.
Practically speaking, a 110V light bulb *might* be the easiest rig up, but I could create a separate DC LED with no hassle to do the job too.
I'm guessing it might use a 555 timer, but I'm not sure how to get it to slowly light up the lights, and then dim them slowly, then back on, and so forth. And then how to vary the speed of the flash to get it "just right"...
Anyone have any suggestions?
I've seen some circuits online, but they either have a great looking circuit and no visual to see how it actually works, or a nice video and no circuit to help me build it.
