I've been chasing this forever it seems like, I have built just a simple flashing led but for some reason the led slowly stops flashing, I'll explain further.
I have a 3 volt blinking LED that is wired to a 2032 3V battery holder that is wired to an on/off slide switch, everything should be working perfectly and at first it does. When I first put the battery into the holder it turns on fine and blinks the problem happens after I shut it off and try to turn it back on. If I wait just a few seconds it will come back on when I turn the switch on but it takes a few seconds, the longer I wait to turn it back on the longer it takes. Originally I was using a 5 volt blinking LED and I was sure that was the problem so I switched down to a 3 volt to match the battery but it is still doing it. If I wait a few minutes and then try to turn it back on it will take forever to start working or not at all, if I remove the battery and put it back it works fine every time, it only starts the problem by using the switch, I seriously am about to go crazy I have no idea why it is doing this. The LED's are new, the battery is new so that is not the issue. I made a quick video of it so you guys could see what I"m dealing with, please if anyone can help it would be much appreciated, thanks.
