Noob here, so I found a circuit for a single led flasher and added some extra leds to it. If yall could check it out and let me know if everything is right that would be helpful. I want the LEDS to be as bright as possible and make them flash quicker.

I used circuit simulator found here: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/
The program doesn't install on the comp, just need java to run it.

I can't seem to upload a pic rightnow.


If you go to File>Import and paste the code below you can see the mess I've created and correct it, if needed. Thanks.

Here's the screen shot.

 

Can you post a clearer schematic? Even if you
draw it in MS Paint and save as a .PNG file, or
draw on paper and scan or photograph it may
be easier to read.

Also some description of the specifications of the
LEDs you intend to use would be required to fully
check your work. If you don't know this information
tell us a part number or where you got them.
The exact part number of 555 timer you intend to use
would also be helpful.

You could also look here Bill Marsden's Blog for some
very informative reading.
