The duty cycle is 50 percent, and the frequency range is between 0.1 and 5 Hz.

C1 can be altered, as in the other projects, to change the frequency range. Values up to 2.2 11F can be used experimentally, depending on the intended applications.

A schematic diagram of the flasher is shown in Fig. 1.
