Boy, it sure does take a lot of crap to flash an LED! ;-)
Yes, I have successfully flashed an LED by 1/2 556. The "on" times and "off"
times are independently adjustable, and all of the values are pretty much as per usual. With a 4.7 tantalum, I can get the flash rate down to about 1.7 Hz (according to the counter that came with the scope), and, much to my amazement, with no capacitor AT ALL, it gave a pretty reasonable approximation of a square wave (admittedly, with a little glitch on the rising edge) at like over 200 KHz! If I had the motivation, I'd bother to calculate the capacitance of my ProtoBord, but arithmetic isn't my favorite thing to do. One thing that I was glad to see happen is that with the 100K pot in series with the 1K fixed, I actually get a 200:1 range, both for "on" time" and for "off" time, so I guess that means I can tune the duty cycle from 1% to 99%, and in between them, I can dick around with the frequency. :-) Cheers!
