I've attached a diagram of a circuit I want to build for my motorcycle tail lights. A similar product is commercially available, but I wanted some options that it doesn't include. I cannot use a PIC for a couple reasons, so I need to do this the "old fashioned way" .
I have the circuit for the 4093 flasher that I got from Tony van Roon's website. He credits the circuit to a Ken Moffett. It is perfect for what I want for the flash component & amplifier. The pulse unit is the problem, along with combining it all. For example - if I use a 555 & decade counter, once the wig-wag portion is finished, I figured I could use the next pulse to activate the flasher - but how do I reset the 555 so it stops trying to pulse the lights?
Comments? Suggestions?
