Hello,
I was thinking of making a LED heart (maybe three concentric heart shaped rings of LEDs) that flashes/pulses/dims (or other patterns) for my girlfriend. I was wondering what pattern to use and how I would go about creating something that will do that. I know a little about astable flip-flop circuits and have tried to use a 555 timer before (didn't succeed last time, but I have improved much since then). I was going to build the final design on strip board. I could make one that just alternates two series' of LEDs but I was hoping for something a little more complex. Any and all ideas are welcome =)
Many thanks,
Tom
