I'm a noob but loving circuitry and having a blast learning. I need a strobe for a project. I bought the velleman stroboscope kit and built it, but when I use it for moving things it is blurry. I need the duty cycle to be much lower. I called velleman, watched lots of tutorials on 555 timers and just can not figure out which resistor controls duty cycle. (I know this isn't a 555 but just wanted to learn as much as I could) Velleman also has a 555 kit but doesnt go to 60hz(from my understanding)
This kit has a pot for frequency and a switch for fast (31hz -60hz) and slow (1hz-30hz) Trying to make an optical illusion with spinning objects. I read somewhere that the duty cycle should be less than 1%. Is this kit the way to go if I change out some parts or should I start over with a 555?
Thank you so much for any help.
