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 ...

Whenever I use the 555 timer, it seems that the output polarity is invariably incorrect, and the way the 555 functions, it normally cannot generate a duty cycle of less than 50% — 90% yes, 10% NO!

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 ...

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. This circuit uses the ...

A running joke we see in the comments by Hackaday readers whenever a project includes an Arduino or Raspberry Pi that seems like overkill is to proclaim that “I could have done it with a 555 timer!” ...

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the ...
