I purchased a Ramsey Electronics BL1 kit. It is a very simple LED blinker kit. All it does is alternately blink one led then the other. It seems pretty obvious how it does the blinking. But the kit says it will work on any where from 3V to 15V. What I can't understand, is how it can do that and still provide the same 20ma to the LEDs. Or maybe it doesn't do that but the book sure makes it sound that way.
Also if I want to use a blue or white LED instead of the red, can I just change out the resistor to get the correct current going to the higher voltage LED?
You can see the schematic here...
Q1 and Q2 are 2N3904 R1 and R2 are 100 ohms R3 and R4 are 47k ohms C1 and C2 are 4.7uf
