"One Transistor Breathing LED Circuit | Smooth LED Fading Effect DIY"

Welcome to BARCODE! In this video, we’ll guide you through creating a One Transistor Breathing LED Circuit that produces a smooth fading (breathing) effect on the LED. This project uses a single BD139 transistor, a few resistors, and capacitors to achieve the effect. It's a great way to explore simple transistor circuits and LED fading techniques.

What You’ll Learn:
How to use a BD139 transistor in a breathing LED circuit.
The role of resistors and capacitors in controlling current and timing.
How to create a visually appealing fading effect for LEDs.

---

Components Needed:
1x BD139 Transistor
1x 1MΩ Resistor
1x LED (any color)
1x 4.7k Resistor
2x 3.9k Resistors
3x 47µF/24V Capacitors
1x 1k Resistor
24V Power Supply

---

How It Works:
1. The BD139 transistor acts as a current amplifier, controlling the LED brightness.
2. The resistors and capacitors form an RC network that gradually charges and discharges, modulating the base current of the transistor.
3. This modulation causes the LED to gradually brighten and dim, creating a smooth breathing effect.

Steps to Build:
1. Connect the BD139 transistor as the main control component.
2. Use the 1MΩ resistor and capacitors to create a timing circuit for gradual charging and discharging.
3. Connect the LED and remaining resistors in the appropriate configuration to control brightness and ensure safe current levels.
4. Power the circuit using a 24V power supply and observe the LED breathing effect.
