sorry if im doing this wrong, im new to forum sites.
first i tried using a youtube video tutorial but only one led was lit, when i change the resistance, the leds switched once. if resistance was above one point one would light, if it were below the other would light. is this something the 555 can do by design or did i invent a new use(probably not).
anyway, i kinda fixed it, but how can i be sure both have the same on time and the same off time? i know the resistor value effects that, should i just use the same value resistor for the #2 #7 pin and the + #7 pin?
after i get that equal time sorted out, i would be able to change the speed of the switching with one potentiometer, is that possible?
i would also like to change the brightness with one other potentiometer.
i would give you the schematic of my circuit but its probably so bad it would be easier to start over. i am pretty new at this, dont be mean.
