To honor those Led's who courageously gave their lives reminding me to put a limiting resistor on the outputs of my 555's...

 

I guess you could say that you are guilty of ledacide. Welcome to the fraternity.

But they were so young!

 

Fresh outta the box...sniff...sniff...

 

They had SUCH a bright future, too ... Oh well, if you're going to go, might as well go out with a bang.

They perished valiantly to defend the 555 from meltdown.

 

.... You just put the DIE in diode....

 

DED LEDs.....

 

The electro-law charged me with micro-murder for applying 12V to a PIC microcontroller. I kept telling them it was an accident, but they wouldn't listen. They're a brutal bunch.

 

OMG LMAO!!!Thanks for a good start to the day...

 

Now if it had been 3V, and a CMOS 555 you might have got by with it...

CMOS 555 Long Duration Minimum Parts LED Flasher

Did you know yellow LEDs will glow green just before they go dark?

 

Live fast, die young.
That's their motto.

 

My stomach hurts...

 

Are the dead red LEDs those you got from Ed, who bought them from Ted via Fred delivered by sled? That's what they said...

OMG....LMAOF.

Good one

 

No, but I did toast a yellow I got from that fellow... my fire alarm spoke when it went up in smoke...
