The first successful circuit I have ever made. 555 astable

Well, I tried. It took me around 3 hours to do a breadboard simulation, where most of the time is spent on finding resistance values through band colors. It was frustrating, but I find this much more rewarding than blinking an LED through an Arduino microcontroller.

If the First resistor is 1/10th the second one you get a more even blinking time

.If new to electronics look at the Examples for more basics and/or download the app called "Lessons in Electric Circuits" . We are all here learning. Enjoy
