Hello forum.
to make an LED blink, would I use a 555 chip or a flip flop and why?
thanks

I guess I also need a PWM chip, a pulse width modulator chip, since the servo motor is controlled by a pulsed signal.
In essence, two sensors, physically connected to servo and electrically to Arduino, a PWM chip that allows communication between the Arduino and the servo after Arduino receives the signals from the sensors...
Does that sound like a good plan? do I really need the PWM chip?
thanks

The cost-effectiveness of using a 555 timer or a flip flop for blinking LED depends on various factors such as the specific components and circuit design being used. In general, a 555 timer is often cheaper and easier to use for simple LED blinking circuits, while a flip flop may be more expensive but offers more flexibility for more complex designs.
Yes, both a 555 timer and a flip flop can be used for single and multiple LED blinking. However, the circuit design and component values may differ depending on the specific application and number of LEDs being used.
This depends on the specific circuit design and component values being used. Generally, a 555 timer offers more precise control over the blinking speed as it has a dedicated timer circuit, while a flip flop relies on external components for timing. However, with careful design and component selection, either can achieve similar levels of control.
Yes, it is possible to use both a 555 timer and a flip flop together in a blinking LED circuit. This can provide more flexibility in terms of control and design options, but it may also increase the complexity and cost of the circuit.
Both a 555 timer and a flip flop have their own limitations in terms of maximum frequency, voltage, and current ratings. It is important to carefully select the appropriate components and design the circuit accordingly to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, both may not be suitable for all types of LED blinking applications, so it is important to consider the specific requirements before deciding which one to use.
