A Blinking LED
Worked for 48 sec
Connectivity checks passed; I found only schematic readability warnings, so I’m cleaning those up now without changing the circuit.
Worked for 4 mins 14 sec
Built the 9V LED Blinker schematic: a through-hole NE555 astable blinker powered by a 9V battery through an SPST on/off switch, driving a red LED at about 1.05 Hz with ~5.8 mA LED current. I also cleaned up the schematic geometry and verified there are no open ERC/DRC warnings or errors in the checked categories.
Open items:
- PCB layout has not been created yet.
- Battery life will be modest with a bipolar NE555; a CMOS 555 would improve runtime if that matters.
Suggested next steps:
- Create the PCB layout with through-hole footprints.
- Add mounting holes and set a board size.
- Route the PCB and run final DRC.
- Generate Gerbers/BOM for fabrication.

Demo Complete
The demo is finished. It didn't use any ACUs. You can now continue working with this project like normal.
