Hi,
I'd like to try and build a brake light flasher circuit for a motorcycle (12V).
Brake light should flash 3-5 times then remain on (solid red).
I'm new to electronics so not everything is clear to me. Is it possible to build such a circuit and remain in 12V "domain" or is it necessary to step down to 5V to power an IC (a counter with a clock, for example) ?
I'd like to use a 12V LED bulb (e.g. Philips Ultinon R1157), how would I go about starting a design for a circuit using that bulb?
I'd appreciate any constructive help in the matter.
Best,
Joe
