The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

This circuit enables the on/off times of a 555 timer to be independently varied over a wide range. This is not possible with a conventional 555 circuit with the RC network being charged from the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Many of us could sit down at the bench and whip up a 555 circuit from memory. It’s really not that hard, which is a bit strange considering how flexible the ubiquitous chip is, and how many ways it ...
