The following circuit design explains the design of the blinking LED with the 555 timer IC. Here is the pic configuration of timer ic 555.

Blinking LEDs using a 555 timer IC  (2 LEDs)

This project control two leds that blinks one after one. We can build this circuit with simple change in the circuit given above. Only difference is that above circuit blinks only 1 LED but this circuit controls two LEDs. Blinking speed can be increase and decrease with the in resistance or change in capacitor.

LED blinking using 8 LEDs

This simple LED Flasher Using Timer IC 555 is used to blink 24 LEDs with Two pairs. Both pairs of LEDs blink one and after. Circuit diagram is given below. You can alter this circuit by increasing and decreasing LED.

Simple 8 LEDs flashing circuit using timer ic 555

In this simple LED Flasher Using Timer IC 555 we have used 8 LEDs with using timer ic. This is also very simple circuit and also can be changed by increasing and decreasing the value of LEDs. If you want control the speed of leds then you should use variable resistor. Blinking speed can also be control with the change in capacitor.
