Electronics question... seeking circuit board

[jvasilatos]

Hello everyone-

Can anyone direct me to a supplier of the simple circuit boards that can make LEDs flicker like engine thrusters? I just got my Randy Cooper Rebel Blockade Runner back from Dean who did an amazing job painting and weathering it, and all I need to complete the lighting scheme inside since the lights are installed is a circuit board I can connect to the engine light wires and then the battery.

Something like the Hyperdyne boards but not as complex. I think I saw someone else here do a similar thing with their blockade runner but I never asked this question then.

Thanks.

JV

I'm sure someone will chime in with a circuit, I'd be interested as well. As an alternative, you can get specialty bulbs called "flicker bulbs" that replicate candle flames. I believe these are now available in both incandescent and LED form. There is a little circuit that creates the effect, you could simply use one of those. Good luck.

That's exactly what I did. During the holidays, the local Michaels carried the LED candles. I haven't got to mine yet, but I'm guessing they're relatively small and the LEDs are easy enough to swap. I saw a similar item at Target the other weekend.

Also try Googling "LED flicker circuit", probably turn up something relatively simple.

And, here's the flicker.

That is one ugly schematic

If you want something built up and complete, so you just need to add batteries drop me a PM...

I can base it on the above design or a design of my own, depending on your requirements...

Try contacting Randy at VooDoo EFX.

He can build anything. Good price, nice guy.
