The request

“A 5 V astable LED flasher using two NPN transistors, two 22 kΩ base resistors, two 1 kΩ LED resistors, two LEDs and two 10 µF cross-coupled capacitors.”

Then tryChange both capacitors to 47 µF.Add a power switch.
What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use NPN transistors with collector LEDs and cross-coupled capacitors.

02

Set RC time constants for roughly 1 Hz flashing.

When you need a simple, low-frequency oscillator for visual indication or timing.
