555 LED flasher 1

555 LED flasher 1 by oskay.
Full circuit. The resistor values are 100 k (x2), and a 1 uF Nilla wafer ceramic cap. The LED load resistor is 330 ohms. (orange-orage-black-gold) The wires that are used here are the berry Twizzler strips. Note how cleanly they can be spliced by cutting them at 45 degrees and sticking them together!

So I've got a 555 in a breadboard in front of me now, and I'm googling for a schematic, and this is what I find.

Awesome.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "breadboard".

Well, it is a valid schematic... but not necessarily the easiest type to read. I've got a few more on my web site.

Replacing the 555 with a lower voltage part would allow you to reduce power consumption, use a smaller battery, and remove the LED series resistor.

Yeah, the 555 kinda sucks. (Usually I use at least a 7555.) But, at least it can run straight off a 9V.
