One of the most common clichés around here is that a piece of equipment chosen for a project is always too advanced. If a Raspberry Pi was used, someone will say they should have used an Arduino. If ...

Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 ...

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.

It seems only appropriate that hot on the heels of the conclusion of Hackaday’s 555 Timer Contest that [Ken Shirriff] posts a silicon die teardown of an early version of a hacker’s favorite chip, the ...

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.

This is a simple circuit named 555 Timer IC Testing circuit which helps in testing a circuit using 555 Timer IC.This is a simple circuit named 555 Timer IC Testing circuit which helps in testing a ...

As the tired old saying/meme goes, necessity is the mother of invention. The necessity in this particular scenario was a dire need for a foot stool. The mothering of course involved a very unique ...

This voltage-booster circuit for driving one or more white LEDs uses a 555 timer as its main element (see the figure). The timer, IC1, functions as a resettable astable multivibrator where R1, R2, and ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows the ...
