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.

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 ...

With a 555 on the BOM, you never know what you’re going to get. With 40 of the versatile timer chips in a build, you might just get something completely unexpected, like this 555-based eight-bit ...

You’re well aware of the IC shortage and its impact. Commentators and analysts have provided many explanations, including unexpectedly high demand, capacity limitations, Covid, and too much reliance ...

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 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most ...
