Anyone Here Build Circuits?

[Blurred Talon]

I'd like to get someone to make this PWM for me.

Pulse Width Modulation - Electronics in Meccano

I'm using it to trigger the Bi-Xenon solenoids in my HID retro to do this: http://www.youtube.com/v/pgexwYy8H28&hl=en&fs=1
I've tried my hand at it and I'm just not very good at building circuits yet. I can provide you with most of the parts needed for building it if necessary.

azdave is a member on here in case you didn't know.

I know that.
He's also a member on HIDPlanet where we've chatted about this came circuit. I'm actually building it on a bread board now and might have it done myself.

Any luck with this? Send me a PM if you would like some help.

I don't think a bi-xenon shutter will move fast enough to make a strobe effect, and I don't think one will last very long if you are oscillating it. You can even tell in the video that they start out at a higher rate, and then they slow down after only a few seconds. If you want blinking lights use LEDs or xenon flash tubes. Still, pointless, and you will end up just getting into trouble. That schematic is retarded. You don't need two 555 ICs to get whatever duty cycle you want. And even so, there is such a thing as a 556 which is just two 555s in one package. The only time you would need 2 555s is if you have a quickly blinking light, and you want to flash it on and off at a slower rate, like a fast strobe blinking at turn signal speed.

I suggest using a PICAXE chip for an inexpensive PWM solution.
