Hello there,
When I put together everything for Experiment 8 in Make Electronics and connected a 12v power supply, the LEDs blinked at the same time when I held down the pushbutton.
Have a few pictures:
My power supply.
The relay.
The circuitry
Now, here are the details:
The relay clicked every time the LEDs turned on.
Both LED's blink at the same time (one LED should turn on when the other is off).
The LEDs on the dim out after turning on.
The relay appears to function like the relay used in the book (p. 59).
I've checked many times to see if I've wired my circuit correctly, and it seems I have (but just in case, assume I haven't checked in case I've missed something).
Note: This circuit is for a school presentation project. It is not a quiz or question-related assignment, I've created this circuit to explain how it works to my classmates as part of a free-choice assignment. The assignment is due this Monday.
