In this video:
I have a kid's Star Wars light show toy in need of minor cosmetic repair. Due to the repair being rather boring... extremely boring... hugely boring, I decided to try and reverse engineer the PCB and see if I could find a form, fit, function replacement for the unmarked 14-pin IC. Including some discussions on PWM signals and bistable and astable circuits in this video.
