7 Fading LED

This a dual fading led using 555 timer IC. When first LED (Red) starts to increase its light intensity, the other LED (Blue) starts  to get dim. See the fading sequence diagram of the two LEDs below to understand how it works.

  1. I didn't see a ground pin on the 555 chip. Label, also.

  3. How can you vary the speed of the fading?

    Thanks

  4. would you take the old one off the internet. my grand daughter copied this and burnt 3 led's out. if all the inadequate circuits where removed from the net children could learn instead of being discouraged.
