Nigel Heath Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I have been thinking about my current Dalek build and it really is crying out for some lights to be installed. My thoughts are two red flashing LED's on the dome and possibly another in the eye stalk. I can probably manage to wire up an LED but how do I go about creating a flashing effect? I would guess that I could get some sort of module from Maplins (there is a handy local store in Aberdeen). I think I will also have to create a base as somewhere to install the batteries. Any tips or advice from electronic wizzes out there would be appreciated. Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charley420 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Shimples purchase flashing leds, they come pre manufactured with flash facility so you just wire em up and they flash away no grubby macs required lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Can you control the flashing rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charley420 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 The ones i found were for railway modelling and were pre set at around one htz so one flash per second, there may be others available tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
