The frequency and nature of flashing can be adjusted by changing the values of c2 c3 r2 and r3. R3 and c3 affect the flash rate r2 and c2.
Both 555s work as astable flip flop each with a different frequency.
Police led flasher circuit diagram.
Blue leds 2. Led 555 police flasher the figure below you can see the schematic diagram of a simple led police flasher with two popular 555 integrated circuits. Flashing police lights circuit electronics. This police style strobe light circuit using 555 timer ics shows the familiar lights used on police cars. Red leds 2. The timer here generates pulses which are fed to the 10 stage decade counter the output of counter is so arranged to get a flashy.
The circuit produces alternating series of strobes of leds of each group. Their outputs are connected to antiparallel two groups of leds. 4017 decade counter ic. By dilip raja may 23 2015 5. 22kω resistor 1 4 watt 1. Whenever a group of leds activated its leds turn on and off three times with specific time interval.
The ic2 consists of a simple led flasher circuit which continuously flashes the led. In this project we are going to design a circuit to make a flashing light similar to that on a police car. Each group has four leds and they turn on and off alternately with like police style strobe light. 470 ohm resistor 1 4 watt 6. The given police light circuit consists of two 555 astable multivibrators. Leds are red for one group and blue for the other group.
One with a lower oscillation frequency ic1 multivibrator section and other with a higher frequency ic2 multivibrator section. 1kω resistor 1 4 watt 3. And using the signal from the low frequency multivibrator the signals from the ic2 are alternately switched to the red and blue leds. This police light circuit is designed by 555 timer ic and a decade counter ic. 2 2µf electrolytic capacitor 16v 1. Bc547 npn transistors 2.
Here the led set consists of a 3 3 red and 3×3 blue leds. Circuit diagram of police lights using 555 timer. This circuit flashes the left leds 3 times then the right leds 3 times then r. 9v battery 1. To achieve this police style strobe light effect two groups of leds are used.
