5V logic train bicycle turn signal circuit

Logic trains are interesting (sim) components allowing users a lot of creativity.

This (sim) version has been adapted for bicycles and used as turning signals.

FLICK the SPDT switch to the right to allow the RIGHT LED's to flash together.

FLICK the SPDT switch to the left to allow the LEFT LED's to flash together.

CLOSE the SPST switch connected to the VOLTAGE SOURCE to initiate the FRONT LAMPS.

OPEN the SPST switch next to the voltage source to isolate power to the circuit.

Please note: I haven't included a hazard flashing feature to this circuit.

Enjoy...😎

This is a great app where creative enthusiasts such as yourself can express your creativity in a respectful environment. Sometimes disagreements happen and sometimes these disagreements can spiral out of control resulting in suspensions and some members leaving the app. It's unfortunate but it happens occasionally, anyway continue using and enjoying this app.

I know nothing about mosfets, so my question is, what would be needed to make both turn signals flash at the same time instead of alternating?

The circuit would need to be reconfigured plus additional components would be required to facilitate a hazard flashing functionality.

Thank you. Didn't know if mosfets made it easier or harder or neither one

I've added a number of additional components to the circuit and successfully designed a hazard flashing feature which flashes all LED's simultaneously but I decided not to publish the amended circuit because it detracts from the circuit original simplicity.
