LED Dimming Project Using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS

Hello friends, hope you all are enjoying and having fun. In today's tutorial we are gonna see how to design a LED Dimming Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS. In our previous tutorials we have seen how to design Multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS and also Single and Double LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS, in which we have seen how to flash Single and Multiple LED's using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS. In today's post i am gonna extend the same concept and we will see how to design a LED Dimming Project Using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS.

It is a quick and very simple tutorial and it elaborates how to control the Intensity of LED using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS. It's a very simple project and the complete project is given at the end for download but again as i always say try to design it by yourself so that you get some knowledge out of it. It's a very simple project and these type of projects are designed by Engineering students in their First semester and are really a good start in learning electronics. If you have any queries regarding this project then feel free to ask and i will try me best to resolve them. So, let's get started with implementation of LED Dimming Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS.

LED Dimming Project Using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS

  • 555 timer is a well known IC used in timing Projects and it is the most widely used IC before micro controllers.
  • In our previous projects we have seen how to flash a single or multiple LED's but today we are going one step ahead and we are gonna learn How to Control the Intensity of LED using 555 timer in Proteus ISIS.
  • So. first of all, open your  Proteus software and include the below components into its work space.
  • After adding these components, now we need to design the circuit diagram.
  • So, design a circuit diagram of LED Dimming Project using 555 Timer as shown below:
 
  • If you look closely at the project then you will see that it is similar to one of our project titled Sequential LED Blinking Project with 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS.
  • In this project we will control the intensity of LED through 555 timer.
  • These kind of projects are also used for Decoration purpose and the beauty of this system is that we can change the Dimming rate of LED and we can control it our self.
  • Now we are done with the Designing of the project and let's run its Proteus simulation.
  • When you run the Proteus simulation and if everything is alright then the LED pattern will be like:
  • The above figure shown the three states of the project.
  • State # 1 shows the OFF state of LED, State # 2 shows that LED has started to glow and State # 3 shows that LED is glowing with full intensity.
  • After that the loop starts again from State #1 to State # 3, unless you keep running the Proteus Simulation.
  • You can download the simulation of LED Dimming project using 555 Timer by clicking on below button:

That's all for today, in the coming post we will discuss few more such projects. Till than take care !!! :)

Multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS

Hello friends, hope you all are enjoying and having fun. In today's tutorial, we are gonna see How to design a Multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS. In our previous tutorial we have seen How to design a LED Flasher Project with 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS, in which we have flashed single and double LEDs. In today's post, I am gonna extend that previous tutorial and will see How to flash multiple LEDs with 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS.

Its quite a quick tutorial, as I don't have much material on it and its also quite simple so no much explanation is required. The complete project is given at the end for download but again as I always mention, try to design it by yourself, so that you get some knowledge out of it.This type of projects are normally designed by engineering students in their first or second semesters and are really a good start in learning electronics. IF you have any questions related to this project then ask in comments and I will try my best to resolve them. So, let's get started with implementation of multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS.

Multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS

  • 555 Timer is well known IC used in timing projects and its the most widely used IC before microcontrollers.
  • In our previous project we have flashed one and two LEDs using 555 Timer which was quite simple and easy and today we are gonna go a little advance and will flash multiple LEDs using 555 Timer.
  • So first of all, open your Proteus software and include the below components into its workspace.
  • After adding these components, now we need to design the circuit diagram.
  • So, design a circuit diagram of Multiple LED FLasher Project using 555 Timer as shown below:
  • If you have a look at the above figure closely and compare it with the previous project of 2 LED Flasher with 555 Timer in Protes ISIS then you can have the idea that its simple an extended version of that project.
  • I haven't done anything but simply added LEDs in parallel to those 2 LEDs and give it a beutiful form so that it look attractive.
  • These kinds of projects are normally used for decoration where you need to set some pattern for LEDs and make them blink.
  • So, now we are done with the designing of our project so let's run the PRoteus Simulation.
  • When you run the Proteus Simulation, and if everything's gone fine then these LEDs will start flashing as shown in the below figure:
  • The above figure shows the three states of this project.
  • State # 1 shows the OFF state of this project while State # 2 and 3 are the ON states, these LEDs will keep on flashing as long as the simulation is running.
  • You can download the Proteus simulation of Multiple LED Flasher Project using 555 Timer by clicking on the below button:

That's all for today, I hope I have conveyed some knowledge and helped in some way. It was a quite an easy project that's why I haven't explained much but if you have some querries then ask in comments. Subscribe us via email to get these tutorials straight in your inbox. Till next tutorial, take care !!! :)
