HELP NEEDED TO COMPLETE CIRCUIT FOR BLINKING NIGHT FISHING LED FOR 100% RESULTS AND CHEAP AQUARIUM LIGHT DIY, USING RECYCLED PARTS
night fishing with lure ,rig fishing etc.(Multi use)
Anyone please check my diagram : and thread description. . .
IDEA OF MY THREAD
I just drawn a fig by connecting 2 circuits to blink LED , At final when circuit switched ON and shorten 2probes by hand or it will submerged in a aquarium ,LED will glow and blink after each 1sec
1st one is just a old clock circuit for blinking LED
2nd is a LED Circuit having a non transistor a 1 k resistor, and a 3v button cell, and leaving 2 probes at end to shorten.
after shortening probes LED will glow ?
CAN I PRINT THIS AS A 1*4CM PCB?
And I need to add a Tilt switch for glow LED at the time of retrieving lure connected with the fishing line(see this video
)
with forum member's help,
or possible minimum size (currently this design have 1clock crystal, a COB IC,NPN transistor,1K Resistor,LED,3V BATTERY)
Anyone please re draw the diagram . . . OR HELP ME TO PRINT NEW PCB ON KICAD USING MINIMUM OF COMPONENTS(I MEAN USING CHIP RESISTOR INSTED OF NORMAL RESISTOR, INCLUDING )
I USED THIS LINKS FOR REFERENCE
1.

Blinking LEDs are available, just add a battery and a small resistor. And there are flasher circuits available as well.For the blinking LED see the Digikey catalog, for the circuits see "schematicsforfree" on the internet.

I am asking for a simple help , please verify the circuit diagram that I prepared for soldering,
Currently I have
1) normal LED
2) tiny simple Blinker circuit from old clock
3) Resistor
4) transistor
5)3v button cell
6) switch
7) 2nos extension probe for shortening (as a secondary switch to trigger LED)

I really don‘t think you are being intentionally difficult but imagine your request from our point of view. You have an “idea” that you don’t know how to accomplish. You have a collection of stuff that you think can be cobbled together to execute this idea. You present it as “just make me a circuit diagram and don’t try to improve anything or suggest alternatives”.

Can you see that looks exactly like you want free consulting services? This is a forum where people come to enjoy themselves, and they help each other because they are part of a community.

I am a photographer. If you came to me and said, “can you just take some photos for me, it will be easy so I don’t expect you to charge me for them”, can you imagine my response?

The “payment” here for help is simple: participation. The people who get the worst reception are those who don’t engage with the community and refuse to allow others to engage in the process of analysis, design, etc. which is the only “payment” they receive.

Your “projects” are no fun to work on, not being at all novel or interesting as you present them, nor are you paying money which, by the way, most if not all of your potential helpers aren’t interested in.

Perhaps you need to find a site like Fiverr where you can a few dollars to get your work done without being bothered by expert suggestions about improving it.

Certainly this is a reasonable reply to the question, but also, this is not a complex design challenge. I have already offered a website that contains several such circuits, complete with the circuit drawings, but no explanations of how they work. A more detailed description of that "flasher from an old clock" may reveal if it is usable in this application.
And one more consideration is that using artificial light for night fishing is not legal in some places.

I just requesting for correction in my circuit, but dear member you ga

Yes more than a long paragraph advice, your words sounds more practical, can I ask doubts to complete my design.
Actually I am trying to get help for LED flashing circuit design is making into advanced small chip PCB design more than ordinary single LED PCBs available at market, Because my need is ensuring the size into very small as we can.

I have seen LEDs with an internal flasher circuit, they are the standard 5mm size package. That is about as compact as the complete circuit could be. They were sold by Digikey at one time, I have not looked at the current list of LED products for a while, so no current information.

I will come back and show you it's working

I am not interested in your project. That it might be “working” isn’t relevant to my comments in this thread which have nothing at all to do with a blinking LED.

For $0.013 each for a 5mm blinking LED and $0.432 each for a CR2032 coin cell, and we’ll even make it waterproof with a 4 mil resealable plastic bag for $0.0619 each, you can have 50 blinking LEDs that “work” for just about seven cents USD each plus the cost of the consumable cell, so what? Read my comments more carefully and see what my concerns are. You have persistently taken on the rôle of victim here without paying any attention to the content of my entirely valid and sympathetic advice.

I tried to explain to you how to present your ideas in a way that made them align with AAC culture and was respectful of people who would help you. I explained to you how your question falls short of being something you should post here. You don‘t bother even trying to figure out what I am talking about—instead you just act personally hurt and accuse me if misbehavior.

Read my advice, ask questions about its content if you don‘t understand it—but if you continue to ignore it and make things worse by complaints and accusations against other members here who consistently contribute by helping others completely free of charge you will certainly find yourself unwelcome.

It is not too late to consider this and work to reform your approach and attitude. I would he very happy if you turned this around and became a valued member of AAC. If you want to “come back and show me“ something working, make it your approach to participating here so that it considers the people you are asking to help you. Drop the attitude of entitlement to their help, do more than post a vague cloud of ideas and pieces that you imagine will somehow coalesce into a useful device.

If you get an idea, work on it yourself as far as you can. Do a cost-benefit analysis—it can be very rough—consider the cost of each part and the time it will take to put those parts together. Look to see if such a thing already exists and how it compares to your idea both in cost and function. Try to work out how the parts would actually be put together both electrically and mechanically. Draw pictures and write a BoM (Bill of Materials) that includes costs for each item and part numbers.

These are all things you can do. Then, come and ask for help with the parts you can’t do—and be ready to be told, by experts that your idea is impractical. Ideas for devices that cobble together parts of other things to create something that is not novel have no inherent value. Noticing that some part can be salvaged and reused is not the basis for something worth doing—there has to be more to the value proposition.

Yes, come back and show me you can “work” and I will be happy to see you and acknowledge your success. I have absolutely no interest in whether you can make in LED blink, so don’t waste your time with that. It will do nothing to prove I was wrong, nor that you “won”. I would really love to see you “win”, and that would mean understanding what I am trying very hard to tell you.

With no ill will, and a genuine hope you will show me up by somehow actually paying attention to my words—something I have almost no expectation is a possibility—I wish you the very best, and genuine success, whatever you choose to do.
