Low V LED flasher - Kevin McMurtrie's Monstrosity

Here's a netlist or the non-binaries ngs. Pic and waveforms on ABSE.

I see that there is a negative 80 mA pulse thru the LED. Weird.

You'll be glad you did! Just when you thought you had all this figured out, the gov't changed it:

How did that odd schematic get back into discussion?

ABSE.

I drew the schematic in LTSpice, and posted the pic and netlist above here. It has a very nasty negative current spike of something like 80 mA thru the LED. I hope someone else confirms that the schem and your drawing match up. And that the simulation actually does have the current spike.

Got any more similar monstrosities? ;-)
