Among the variety of flashing Christmas lights increasingly popular get the “ultra simple”, consisting… only of the LEDs. Instead of the usual piles of circuit design (with electronic keys, which are intermittently open-closed low-frequency RC, RL or LC oscillators) here compact semiconductor light emitter. However, the LEDs acting as a kind of microswitches, not simple (Fig. 1A—1 b). The name of this class of optoelectronic devices, developed at the junction of integrated microelectronics and optics — Blinking LED lamps (flashing LEDs, or MSV).
WHAT IS BLINKING ON THE TREE?
Hoping to equip the apartment “talking” for hours, tried to collect an acceptable design using standard domestic circuits. But once faced with the complexities of the “firmware” electronic memory, decided as the basis for its hours to accommodate wrist alarm TALKING WATCH — cheap consumer goods from China. The result was an information system capable of interesting, in my opinion, and many readers of the journal “modelist-Konstruktor”.
