The function of the 555 timer is mainly determined by two comparators. The output voltage of the them controls the state of the RS flip-flop and the discharge tube. It also contains 3 working states.

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC. In the process of making this circuit, we'll make a pcb design for it. This ...

In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Paul Rako, Creative Director, Rako Studios Back in 2011, Jeff Hamilton contacted Bob Pease, asking for Bob’s experience ...

Over the years, readers have often commented that microcontrollers (or more specifically, the Arduino) are overkill for many of the projects they get used in. The admonition that the creator “Should ...

Your first order is free! In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of blinking lights, on its output we get a digital signal that we can use to turn on and off an external light like an led ...

You asked for it, and now you’ve got it. It’s taken more than a decade of accumulated complaining, but this gigantic 555 timer IC has finally gathered enough psychokinetic energy to take corporeal ...
