Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a beginner's request for an easy electronics project involving an integrated circuit and LEDs. The scope includes project ideas, guidance on circuit design, and resources for further exploration.

Discussion Character

  • Debate/contested
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses uncertainty about whether the forum is the right place for their question and requests an easy project involving an integrated circuit and LEDs.
  • Another participant suggests that the original poster should attempt to work on the project themselves before seeking help, implying that they should not expect others to do the work for them.
  • A third participant proposes a specific circuit for varying the brightness of LEDs using pulse width modulation and provides a link to an article for further reading.
  • The original poster acknowledges the suggestion and expresses appreciation, indicating they have found similar circuits but consider this one easy enough to try.
  • In a later post, the original poster clarifies that they are not looking for someone to do their homework but rather for guidance and resources to help them with their project.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

There is a disagreement regarding the appropriateness of the original poster's request. Some participants feel the request is too reliant on others, while the original poster insists they are seeking guidance rather than direct answers.

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects varying expectations of assistance in educational contexts, with some participants emphasizing the importance of self-initiative in learning.

Well I don't know if this is the right place to do this question.

I want to do a project of my class of electronics, and my circuit must contain at lest one intagreated circuit, can somebody give an easy one? It must contain just a integrated circuit and also something with LEDs. I am just a begginer and I want to do something easy no to complex.

Thanks

Hm ... basically, it seems that you are asking us to do your work for you and since you have dozens of posts I'm sure you know by now that that's not the way this forum works.

You need to at least make a stab at something yourself and then ask for help.
 
You could try something like this circuit:

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRF6HBBr5yg4O11hBsBdCHup33Q4gCwtfhcRzseTgq9DNvPBtzx.png


It is a circuit for varying the brightness of some LEDs by using pulse width modulation.

You could read the whole article about this and some similar circuits here:

Otherwise, you could put Google into Image mode and search for "555 circuits".

thanks for the help. I had found circuits with leds doing similar things like this but this seems very easy. Thanks for the help, now I'll simulate this and after that to the electronics store

Not exactly. I just wanted a guide(like web sites and stuff like that ) like the one who vk6kr gave me. I am a begginer and I am not looking for someone to do my homework. I just need a little of help. At the end I will make my circuit here at home don't you??
