I am working on trying to make a set of LEDs flash. Here is what I would like to end up with:
I have a 9V DC powered set of 8 LEDs, which would be normally on, with an On/Off switch.
When the lights are tuned on, and a secondary switch is tripped, the lights will flash for X number of seconds, possibly adjustable duration, but not required, then go back to solid On.
I have seen some of those 555 chips that seem like they might do what I need them to, I just am not electrically savvy enough to work this out myself.
Anybody got an idea on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks

Yea, I didn't expect too much, I was just kind of hoping that we might have someone on the Nation who knew this kind of stuff.
Thanks Jim, that would be awesome!!
I don't necessarily need/want to make something from scratch. If there was some existing circuit board out there that I could modify, that would work too. I had actually been looking around at the different Christmas tree lights to see if there was something I could use.
Thanks David, I will give them a look when I get a second.
The hard part was finding one that would blink for X number of seconds, then return to solid on mode.
So, the lights are on solid. When a switch is triggered, the lights flash for 4 seconds, then go back to solid again.
Thanks David and Fatboy, that helped a lot!!!
I think the only thing I need to sort out is how to activate the flasher circuit for X number of seconds.
Make yourself one of these Dan

Then at your next CBG gig add this kind of light show :O)

Or at home instead of watching TV
