Add the Components
This project is a simple LED flasher that uses the 555 timer integrated circuit (IC). Because this is the
focus of the project, start by adding a 555 timer by clicking on the “Add” button. Having clicked on
“Add,” you will be greeted with the vast array of libraries shown in Figure 2-5.
FIGURE 2-5 Finding a component.
We need to find a 555 timer IC somewhere in there. You can do this by searching. Start by
entering “555” in the search field. The result is shown in Figure 2-6.
